Because i can't find any other cars i like out there besides the Legacy GT. The G has more upside than the other cars i am finding in the same price range..only catch is i find the front ugly but i am trying to think of ways to make it look better

best way to is to scour the forum and see what others have done to the fronts of their sedans and see which one you really like, otherwise like blkthunder has state, you're not gonna be happy

I have driven bunch of different infiniti's this week and to tell you the truth I really am beginning to miss my 6mt. I love the boxy body style of the 1st gen G35 versus the Bubbly G37. The power difference between the 2 cars should not be enough to sway you from one to the other. Heck you have a X AWD model which not only does your TRANNY rob you of power but even your AWD setup. When you are going with AWD X i think speed is not important as much as snow traction.

You really need to get your priories straight and decide why your are wanting to change and stick that. You can expect everything CHEAP, FAST and GOOD. If we could all have all 3 then ummm...what is this forum here for. What about the extra tax money you paid for the newer model and stepping down in value...you are throwing that extra sales tax you paid away. What about any mods and such you did to your current vehicle that money is getting pissed away along with any maintenance you did. What about a warranty sicne I doubt the older model will have one unless you spend $1500 buying one.

I am sure when you go buy a new vehicle you will be buying someone's headaches. Be ready to take care of all the fluids, brakes, any worn out suspension components, spark plugs, air filters, cabin filters and what not. I think you should hop back over to the other side of the forum and stay there for your own good

In the end, when you wake the next morning, don't regret the decision that you made the night before. Think this through. I partially agree with faiz23 in that you already have money "invested" into your current car. If you do sell make sure that the pre-owned vehicle you will be purchasing has a good history/Carfax unless you know the owner on a credible basis.

As far as personal experience, I have not driven the AWD models, but did drive a 2008 G35 Sedan rwd as a loaner car while mine was being serviced for an airbag recall. In summary, I did not like it and wanted my 04 G back asap! The ride quality (comfort), acceleration, interior refinements, etc. may have been better (not superior) than the 1st Gen G sedan, but the 1st gen was MUCH more enjoyable to drive. I'm not sure how to describe it, but there was a much more raw connection with the road and putting power down had more personality. Just my 2 cents.

Keep in mind that I got the loaner only a month after getting my 04 G Sedan; therefore, I can say my perception was hardly biased.

You probably haven't followed my past threads..but my 07 has already needed a brand new engine at 62K and now i am trading in because of the horrible vibrations that the dealer and no one can fix. I have 2,000 in shops visits and new tires, wheels ect only to have my car vibrate horribly over the speed of 70. I can't drive it on the highway. This is why i need to trade in for something else. I just want to get rid of this headache and move on to something else.

Yea, your car is messed up. Mine is smooth as butter at 150 lol

No way you can extend your payments out a smidge to find another 2nd gen? Whats your price range???

Calling it a downgrade is a bit insulting lol After all 1st gen is what started it all. +1 if you like

wouldn't call it much of a downgrade. The difference in speed/accel is negligible.

The body isnt even that much different. The only thing that i would call a major improvement is the headlights. If i put 07+ headlights on my car, especially with the trunk i have, whod even know the difference
