Why did you get the sedan?
Always loved a performance sedan. My first was 00 Mazda 626 V-6, 5spd. Traded for a 02 Maxima 6spd, Traded for a Titan (sucks), traded for a 04 G35 6spd. I love a lots of power with a manual xsmn, and 4drs.
We don't have kids yet, but our other two cars have two doors and one of us had to drive a car that can hold more than two people comfortably. In all honesty, I actually like four door cars, they’re much easier to get in and out of.
I wanted to get away from a two door car, doors are too wide and heavy, having a bad leg, I need to be able to open the door all the way to get in and out, and the narrower sedan doors work great, also, the first G35 I ever saw was a sedan, and that was what I was attracted to, but the other cars I shopped were also sedans.
Guess it wouldn't have been a true coupe then, LOL!
Would have bought the coupe if it came with four doors.
In the past, the increased performance of the coupe was very attractive, in a sexier shape than the sedan.
But usher in 2005 - the brembos are gone, the coupe and sedan both weigh the same, and have the same amount of power - same performance. My 2005 6MT has 298HP, LSD, 235 tires, 18" wheels... the only thing the coupe has over the sedan was a sexy, svelte exterior. But honestly, with the redesign, I really like my 05 sedan exterior in DG.
That was enough. But the increased interior room, lower insurance cost, "stealth" factor with law enforcement made the car even better.
I dunno... I've always been a sucker for 4 door sleepers like the E55, S4, RS6, etc. that don't cry "look at me"... but hold their own with performance.

I'm a sedan guy. Always have been. Love the Q-Ship. Coupes draw too much attention from the cops and street racers looking to flex. The G35 Sedan offers terrific performance and handling in a good looking 4 door package. It was a no brainer for me.
I like to travel and like to have room for my stuff. Can't do it as effectively in a coupe - this one or any other.
