Prius 05 Pkg 5 to G35 07 Journey with Tech and Nav, crappier gas mileage but no friggin rattles. Are you listening Toyota!!!!!!!

 

Since its my wife's car, shes coming from a 99 Honda Civic LX 4-door. Can we say MAJOR UPGRADE?

 

coming from a 2001 Honda Civic EX Sedan...

 

sold a 2000 Lexus GS430 that never gave me an ounce of trouble in 6 years and a 2004 Miata MX5 mazdaspeed that was the most enjoyable car in the twisties. The Lexus has a nicer interior, and slightly better fit and finish. It is NOT a driver's car. Corners like a small boat.The MX5 mazdaspeed corners like it is on rails and is great fun, but somewhat punishing as a daily driver and a waste as a weekend sports car. I only put 3,000 miles on it in two years.

The 2007 G35X is the nicest blend of the two. Accelerates well, corners fine, decent interior even though not plush, nicely sized for occasional back seat passengers, and so far, maintenance free. ( only been 300 miles, so that may be a bit premature). Love the car, but probably not an upgrade, or downgrade, just a different ride.

 

I come from a evo 8. It is an upgrade, but i regret the purchase. The new g35 is definitely a luxurious car...but i just miss the power of my evo. I had 310whp on my evo 8..nothing great but a very fun car. My new g35 has the best interior out of all the other cars that are priced in the range with it, i think.

 

So you aren't counting the BMW 335 then? In my book, even though they are in the same car class and compete head to head, they are not in the same "price class" as the BMW is $10 - $15k more for a similarly equipped car.

 

came from an '02 Lexus IS300 MT with nav.
I haven't been able to decide if it's an upgrade or lateral move.

Obviously, it's an upgrade in terms of new vehicle, but there are pros and cons to both vehicles that sorta offset each other.

And Lexus service and quality really is second to none, but not worth the 7k extra to get into a similarly equipped IS350

 

97 Acura CL + 04 Corvette Coupe --> 07 G35x

What a great upgrade is all i can say. I thought i was going to miss the Acura but thats not exactly the case.

 

I came from a long list of heavily modded Civics and Integras.

99 Turbo SI + 97 LS/Vtec Supercharged + 98 B20/Vtec GS-R with lots of type R parts + 94 LS Hatch .....and the list goes on

 

i've also had a turbo built 00 civic si as well as a subaru stage 2 wrx.


and i think the bmw 335 interior is nasty. I think every bmw interior is nasty.

 

Upgrade from a 2003 Honda Accord EX V6

 

Downgrade in general, upgrade in power but not by much, like the car.
R.I.P. 2006 E60 530i Sport with manual trany and bells and wistels.

 

2004 Maxima SE

 

Moved to S 6mt from a Cadillac CTS-V, just a little slower but I get 5mpg more and step up on everything else.

Our G35s was a present for my wife who has been driving her 5.0 Explorer for many years. She was driving our 3000gt VR-4 till i traded it in on my truck. I'm actually driving the Explorer now to save miles on my Truck. So thats an upgrade for her.

My truck is my real baby, 2003 f150 harley, Custom paint and built for speed. Its in the shop getting the built long block put in. I have almost 80k into that truck including msrp. Before the built motor it was putting down 510rwhp / 605 trq and running low 12's. After this stage of modding and 15k later it should be around 650rwhp/750+ trq and running high 10's without spray.
