its more like the G is way different

G is a better highway car, more luxury features, more torque, balanced rwd handling, more room

RSX has a better looking interior with nicer gauges, sharper steering, not as bulky to drive around on a day to day basis, shifter is smooth and precise, clutch is easier to modulate, more refined powertrain with a better aftermarket(its probably harder to make 300na whp with a vq35de then a k20a2/z1/z3 and same goes for boost, its cheaper to boost an rsx and there are off the shelf kits to make 800whp, assuming the engine is built to handle it. Bottom line is that the rsx is held back by fwd so even if you make it fast, its just gonna be a tire roasting, axle snapping machine on the street thats only good for highway races. RSX also has the hatchback which makes it more practical(especially vs a g coupe)

bottom line, both are great cars(the V35 G is a great used car value, rsx is a little overpriced because its a honda) but they both make me wish I just had a BMW..lol

well yeah if you don't care about driving experiance. since you have an automatic with drop springs on stock shocks, it would be a waste for your needs

^ I hate BMWs.... They ride harsh, the interior hasn't had a face lift is 2 decades (still looks like ****) they use fake leather, and being a drivers car.... there are so few that come stick.

I wouldn't trade any of my Nissans or Lexus' for a BMW. Especially with the price tag and the douche attitude you get from the dealer.

I wouldn't say they necessarily ride harsh. My mom's '06 530 rides pretty smooth, but you can feel the firmness of the suspension, not rugged at all.

BMW isn't the only company that doesn't use leather. Several other manufacturers actually do not use leather either. Reason is because leather will crimple over time. I think Ferrari's don't come with actual leather either, at least for certain parts of the vehicle. The option is available though.

My buddy is actually a hardcore BMW lover, however, after driving the G37 coupe and my car he has grown fond of the G, especially since Infiniti is considered to be the BMW of Japanese cars.

every 1, 3 and 5 series comes in stick, you can get a 335xi(unlike the g35x) in stick, all the M's obviously come in stick

they offer stick in more cars then any other company, in every other country you can get 7 series in stick as well

infiniti ONLY offer rwd g's in stick

nissan will give you the 370z, altima coupe 3.5 and sentra se-r...everything else that offers stick is a 4cyl econobox

they have fake or real leather and the fake leather is nicer then the real leather in a lot of cars...I'd rather not kill cows for my seats personally

I'm not saying it's not available, I am saying you never find them.

Their plastic seats are garbage and the cars are a nightmare to maintain.

its not like you can't get leather

idk if I were buying a BMW I would just order exactly what I wanted since you can do that and the ones on the lot have too much crap in them, or I would just find a certified one

If I were to ever get one in some kind of weird happening. It would have to be in it's warranty period.

I've worked on too many of them and their headaches.
