2001 Maxima
to
2008 G35S

 

Would you characterize the two cars as having the same engine?

 

Came from a 2000 Maxima SE - 5 speed manual - someone torched it outside the apt complex in Hollywood (Los Feliz). I'm still pissed about it! Got ripped off by State Farm!

 

pretty much even to be honest.. i came from a 1998 lexus gs400.. that car was ahead of it's time considering how old it is.. below is how i feel about the transition

luxury - downgrade
comfort - even
performance - even
handling / suspension - major upgrade
horsepower - slight upgrade
audio - upgrade
fun factor - same

 

2001 Mazda Protege Mp3. HUUUGE Upgrade

 

1994 VW Corrado VR6. how i miss that thing <3

 

Had a '05 Camry for less than a year along side an '06 S2000. Dumped the Camry for an '07 G35. HUGE upgrade their. Too bad my wife likes the G so much, looks like she's taking it when her Tahoe lease is up.

 

I upgraded from a 04 G35

 

Upgraded from a 01' Acura CLS

The G35 is definitely a big step up from every car I've ever owned. Although I have had more problems with this car in the 10-months that I've owned it than I've had with my previous two cars combined; I love my G...and it's the best car I've ever owned!

 

99 Chrysler Cirrus LXi. Broken Radio. 240K on the clock. Bald tires. Non-functioning sunroof. Broken fuel gauge. No hubcaps. But damn did I love that car. I drove the s**t out of that thing, abused it to no end.

I drove it for two years and learned a lot of lessons and had a lot of hardship with it. All in all that car served me pretty well and I definitely did not deserve a better car for the learning experience. Then I got the 08 G35X which has become my complete obsession.

 

From a 02 Altima 3.5SE to my 08 G35 Sedan Journey.
