Loaner...

Loaner...
So my mom took her M35 in to get serviced this morning and they gave her a journey as a loaner. Of course i went home on my lunch break to drive it and compare it to my S. didnt like it that much. The one thing that was kinda wierd, is that the throttle response and brakes were alot touchier than my S... seems like it should be the other way arround. anyone else experienced this?

I thought it was just me! I brought in my 6MT yesterday for the clutch recall, and hoping they'll flash my ECU with the latest firmware that fixes the surge. But that upgrade really only addresses a cold engine start.
When I drove the G35 non-sport 5AT loaner, at first I thought to myself, "Hmm... why does the automatic seem faster and louder?" Then, I realized that every time I lightly tapped the throttle, I'd be at 3000rpm in a flash, tossing my head back. I swear, I scared the living crap out of other drivers on small local streets and in turns.
At least my dealership doesn't require us to refill the tank, so I can drive it as hard as I want.

The M35 is nice, but it's definitely no where near as quick as the G35x (the M45 is close). I test drove both before going with the G35x. Also, the M35's steering is a lot lighter in feel than the G. The nice thing with the M is the luxury and space - definitely a lot more luxurious. Also, if you get the upgraded sound system with 5.1 surround built into the headrests, that is an amazing sound system.
