Hi there. I'm looking at buying a 2007 G35, wondering if there was anything I should look out for on these cars? What gas mileage is realistic for these? EPA says 22+ but most people say 17ish city 19ish highway, is this correct?

I'm trading in a 2005 GMC sierra, 5.3l V8, single cab short bed. How's the back seat room? Main reason I'm trading is for some extra doors, I love my truck but it just does not have the room. Can an adult fit in the back seat comfortably?


Here is the car in question:

I'm thinking I can get them down to $18,500.......would that be an ok price for that car?

Thanks for any info. I know I'll have more questions. (P.S. - I did search)

 

if you can get it for that price that would be awesome. Offer cash if you can. That would get it to that price. As far as gas goes it really depends on how you drive. You can get up to 19 in the city if you drive like an angle and 26 on highway. But if you have a lead foot 17ish/19ish.

Any other question? that is a good car. did you test drive it yet?

 

If you really concern about room just get something bigger. Maybe a M35 or M45. I am a short dude and the car is perfect for me and my family. Other than that I love this car.

 

Idk about non-awd but the X gets no where close to advertised MPG. They said 19/25.
But its more like 15/20. I'm sure the difference between advertised MPG and real world non-awd would be about the same difference.

This car isnt for u if u want to save gas lol

 

x2. If you get an X go down at least 4 mpg from what they say

I paid 18.5K for an 07 X with 62k It depends on location as well.

 

when i drive from LA to SD or to victorville i get 27-28mpg on the highway. I was driving nicely. But now, in the city i get 16 because i am driving my car pretty hard right now.

 

How fast on highway do you usually go?

 

mostly 65mpg.

 

65mpg!!??

Wow what G are you driving?

 

HAHAHAAH, The new Hybrid G for sure!!

 

Wow, thanks for all the responses.

I'm not overly concerned with mileage. My truck gets around 16-17 in the city and 19-21 on the highway. I think the car might do a bit better than that. I don't normally drive it too hard.

I haven't even seen the car yet, I'm going to check it out tonight, hopefully I can drive it around (it just snowed so I don't know if they'll let me).

I'm 6'3", will I fit in the car ok? I've never been in one.

 

Forgot to mention....5AT gas mileage is way worse than 6MT on highways espeically

 

double post*

 

5AT, lifetime average is in the 21.5 range, manually calculated over 147 tanks. 60+k miles to date, mostly highway with some Houston traffic during rush hour.

Back seat will be tight, but it can fit two people fine, three in a tight pinch. I have to LATCH seats in the back.

 

Thanks for the info soundmike. Will I fit in the front seat?
