Came from a 1995 Integra GS-R 4dr ==> 2004 Honda Accord coupe V6 ==> 07G35S 6mt

Boy was the Accord boring to drive but reliable as heck, Had pretty good pick-up power, but when taking turns it felt like a run away hippo. After getting the "G", its brought back some spirit in driving like my Integra, but 10x better.

well i drove a 05 ford focus and a 08 lexus is350 before the g. traded the focus toward the g and still own the is 350. both cars are fun although i do miss the focus from time to time. you cannot throw the g into turns like i could the focus. it was a well balanced car and i had a lot of fun autocrossing it. and i miss the fuel economy of the focus as i averaged around 38 mpg. the lexus i cannot complain as it is closer to the 30 mpg mark, but the g in 2.5 tanks have averaged about 22.5 mpg. not bad but not impressive. waiting for the break in to pass up so i can see why i really bought both the lexus and the g =)

I traded in a Ford Focus too to get my G. I really liked that car. Great gas mileage and a good commuter. I also agree with the cornering. That little car felt like a go cart. And you could park it anywhere. It also was surprisingly big on the inside. I had no issues with headroom or footroom and I am 6'4

The Bimmer I've been used to the ride and handling...but I can't say this is a "downgrade" after driving the G
