Questions about g35xS

Hey I looking around for a g35s but found a g35xS for about the same price I was looking for. Im assuming the difference would be that from the S its a AWD but does the xS also come with all the small features that the S provides? Any major difference I should be aware of before I go test drive it this weekend?

This has been covered here a few times, but I'll chime in. I assume you're looking at an '08? If so, the differences between an "S" and "xS" are of course the all wheel drive system, non-staggered wheels, no sport suspension, and only available with an automatic transmission. I believe the brakes are the same on both for this year, and only differ from '09 on.

xS does not have the 13" brake rotors. It has the smaller rotors. The sport package on xS is sport appearance package. No sport tuned suspension or brakes.

LOL, just case he was overly concerned about the size of the rotors, being that the rest of the brake system is the same. However, a difference nonetheless.

I thought it runs on RWD until you turn snow mode on? Which shifts 50% of power to front wheels. But, I do have a G35xS and I would love to have the G37S coupe but in winter I would be stuck in boston/suburb hills. So until I can afford a second summer car, I will keep the xS.

The “S” appended to the model designation tells you this car had the optional ($1100) Sport package, which includes deep-bolstered front bucket seats, 18-inch alloy wheels wearing Dunlop SP Sport Maxx M+S tires, and magnesium paddle shifters. Suspension tuning is unchanged.

@js1 It has 30,956 millage to be exact. But I was looking at this place http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...20874712&Log=0 and my sister is saying it seems sketchy for a dealer.. Does it matter because wouldnt it be the same as buying it from a private owner?

I also found from the same place http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...19018509&Log=0. This has higher millage but its the S vs the xS. Which one should i go for? Lower millage with the xS or 5k millage more for the S? any thoughts?
