What car did you come FROM? Upgrade / Downgrade?
08 mazda 3 to an 04 g35 sedan, the g is older but def upgrade, i love the g's powertrain silky smooth shifts and engine has great low end torque. Not to take anything from my mazda 3 it was really a good car also.
Yeah it depends on what you call an upgrade, if your just talking 0-60 as an upgrade then you didn't do too well going to a G35X, but REAL TALK a Cobalt to Infiniti G35 is an upgrade on any page in my book.

Let us know what you think after you test it out on some wet pavement or better yet the snow.
but, and here is the big one, the g is classy and sophisticated and comfortable, with a bit of sport tossed in. and it is going to be the right car for my needs for a long time, and that is why im going to keep it for a long time
stock is the key word, my cobalt is over 360whp in a 2900 pound car
Then kindly be sure you compare apples to apples before you call the G performance a downgrade to the Cobalt SS SC.
- less power, less off-road capability, less visibility, less towing capacity!

Now the G35X beats out the cobalt in every catergory. Now lets talk looks on the outside and inside. Lets talk finish. Cobalt is like NEON....a big P.O.S. How can you say a sidestep.
I'm picking up my '07 G35S 6MT on Thursday!
