Of those, I'd probably choose a Camry-but that's just based on looks. I've not driven any of those in newer form.

If you put that muffler on the market place, it will sell quickly. Sorry to see the car go man. Can i get my engine cover back if you trade it? lol

And do NOT get a Camry. What a boring bland vehicle. I drove them back to back when my mom was considering one and it was terrible. I could never imagine going from a G35 to that. Literally the KitchenAid microwave of the automotive world.

Check out the Nissan Altima. That is what my parents went with and IMO it is a far better car (gas pedal wont stick to the floor either..). ours is just the 2.5S version with the 4 banger, but it gets 32mpg highway, and it has 187horsepower (Blows away the Camry)

BTW, Steve. id just keep your car. Is it really worth it to gain like 5 or 6 mpgs more than what your at? How many miles does your car have? I just dont see it being worth it to sell for a worse car that gets marginally better fuel economy, and costing more money to begin with... you will probably only get like 10-11k for your G. Thats a nice 8k loan for a 20k Camry/Altima (ours sticker for 21k with 1 option pack)

So 8k, at $2.59 a gallon.. getting 5mpg more.. thats like 617gallons of gas to break even... doesn't make much sense to me. Your G35 is still pretty good if i recall. You take pretty good care of it.

Im a hater, i just hate to see you sell that car. I love the way it looks.

I am looking into getting a camry, corolla, accord, or civic a few years old, so I'm searching for something around $11,000 to $13,000. I'm still making payments on my G, so even though I'll be extending the loan length, I'll greatly reduce the monthly payments, and have a car with a lot less miles on it. My G has 90,000 miles.

I'm really thinking about the current model Civic. With that I'll average around 35mpg, with my G i get 21mpg.... so that's a pretty good jump.
