I Trashed The 2003 3.2 CL TYPE S
That is a clean looking G. Similar to you, I ditched my 03 CL-S for the G, but wasn't lucky enough to get a coupe. Either way, I don't miss my CL-S at all, as it was a little scary driving on the slipping 2nd gear 5AT. Comptech mods were fun while they lasted...
You have have a point.........
I just put on 5 LED bulb in the clearance, blue high beams and also the same 5 Led bulbs in the side markers. Im not feeling the blue H4 it doesn't have a good look. I've been looking at some PIAA H4 bulds. I seen some H4 LED that looks nice...

Given the fact there seems to be a couple of people in this thread with experience of both, I figured this would be a good place to ask.
2 of the cars I'm seriously considering for my next purchase are the 2003 G35C 6MT and the 2003 Acura CL Type-S 6spd. I've been trying to weigh the pros and cons of both, but it may come down to which I feel isn't going to be a mechanical nightmare. Given these are both premium *** brands, you wouldn't expect that, but from what I've been reading here about all the G issues, it's got me a bit worried.
From the owner(s), I'd like to get your impressions of both. Which you prefer and why. I understand this is an Infiniti board so there's going to be bias towards that. Thanks, and sorry for hyjacking your thread.

Don't Like:
Transmission Recall Your covered till 104k
NO VSA
Hard tugging from Limited slip differential
Interior accessories always falling apart
Faulty radio with no bass
Paint chipping
No fogs
Not a lot of aftermarket parts
FWD
Bad Window seal Front and Back
Faulty rear view mirror
Faulty heated seats
Bad navi
Only 260 HP 232 Ib-ft torque (torque way to low)
Good Things:

Handling is sick
Bottom line the g35 wins hands down. I love everyhting about the car.
