More room

I have 2 car seats in mine plus I could not fit the stoller in the trunk of the coupe. It was also easier install my 2 tv monitors in the headrests so my kids can watch movies on long trips.
I have installed a pioneer DVD audio system with 3 TV monitors, 2 Fosgate amps, 12" Polk Momo sub, Polk audio door component speakers, satellite radio, xbox, and center channel to complete the 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound.
Click on GALLERY under the G35 Driver banner at the top then click SEDANS to see some pics of the monitors.

I would probably hae considered an used GS300 next.
yeah, if the g35 only came in coupe form, then i wouldn't have considered infiniti. i had a prelude and got tired of the 2+2 coupe thing after a few years. i wanted more space for passengers without them mucking up the backs of my seats by trying to sit in the rear. although the coupe wasn't out yet when i got my sedan, i wanted the 4 doors for sure, without the bmw price or the bland is300 look.

I guess all of the above for me.

Why Sedan:
-Cheaper since I know it has a thrist for gas.
-Lower Insurance rate cause it's 4 doors.
-Need 4 door for friends and family.
-Sedan seem more mature and suitable for someone in the early 30s.

Why Coupe:
- Girls like Coupes and is more recognizible. They often mistaken my car as a Passot, a Ford, and even a Hyundai (ouch).
- Coupe has a sporty feel and handles better.
- Coupe seats are much comfortable.

Is there a question "why coupe and not sedan" in the coupe forum?

Same power at the wheels, less weight than the coupe. Knew I was going to throw on new springs anyway, so handling's comparable-if-not-better. That, and I like sleepers. Always have, always will. To make a coupe go fast and hug the twisties isn't rocket science. To make a sedan do it, is art.

SThe 05 sedan is a very very nice package. Styling is not a big issue anymore, they fixed up pretty much every complaint people had for the last 2 years. Coupe-like front end, circular tail lamps, colored aero, and a new interior. Plus the sedan is more comfortable, quieter, lighter, more space, more practical, huge trunk, reclining rear seats. Not to mention you can usually get a bigger discount on the G35 sedan compared to the coupe.

3) I need 4-doors for convinience
4) Rear-facing baby seat
5) Same power to weight as the coupe
6) Cheaper to buy
7) Cheaper to insure
8) Looks damn good with a few tasteful exterior mods

I would have loved to get the coupe. But whenever there is some people, hauling my wife automatically volunteers us. Despite numerous discussions this mindset seems to prevail. So sedan it is(woo hoo).

I think that most people that have the sedan also love the coupe...They are very similar in style. The coupe obviously more sporty but the sedan has that classy sporty look. I definitly love my sedan and all the compliments I get on it...

I have three kids, plus I periodically have to haul friends or business associates. That puts the coupe, sexy as it is, right out of consideration. That said, the sedan is darn fine looking, performs great and is comfortable. It is also less expensive to insure, not an insignificant consideration.

I don't own a G yet, but will someday - soon hopefully . I'm more attracted to the sedan because I think it is the best looking vehicle on the road within a reasonable budget. The couple looks great but I think the sedan looks better. I like the stealth aspect of the sport sedan and having the best of both worlds - practicality and sport. I suppose being married with kids also affects my opinion.
