Hello all! After six months of researching, shopping and comparing, I finally bought my car last month. My needs were very clear: a reasonable amount of luxury, seats for two kids in the back, good looks, good performance and reasonable maintenance costs. After narrowing it down to an '07 BMW 330 coupe and an '07 G35 coupe, I chose the G due to the lower maintenance costs both short-term and long-term. So far I've put about 1000 miles on the car and have enjoyed it. My research was thorough enough that I haven't really had any surprises. The interior is loud when at highway speed (will be minimizing that in the coming weeks) and the driver door has banged my shin twice now but really, that's it. I am especially fond of the ride and how it looks; these things simply do not have a bad angle.

Future plans include lowering it slightly and not much else. I'm hoping to get a 911 in the next three years and I don't want to commit too much. I do plan on enjoying the hell out of it while I have it though. That shouldn't be too hard.

Ian

 

Welcome! What part of Riverside are you from? I'm in the Woodcrest area and here is our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/346413535480480/

 

I live in Near UCR but work in Woodcrest, right across from Tio's.

 

Tio's tacos? Very nice! Im in Azusa currently in school but when i come back home i'll be in Riverside for the summer. We have a few guys out here in the Woodcrest/ Orangecrest area with G's

 

Yep, the same one. Give me a shout when you're back in town. Would be cool to hang out.

 

Sounds good! don't forget to add the Riverside V35 group on Facebook! everyone's located on there!

 

You by chance going to APU? I'm a 2013 graduate!

 

haha yeah, did you go here all four years?

 

Welcome to the G family! Nice coupe. Infiniti is much lower on maintenance cost! I had an Audi a6 quattro before the G. Maintenance is costly on them! The german engineering os alittle over kill. What kind of tires do you have? That could be the cause of the noise. My x is quiet at highway speeds. One low cost mod you might want is a spacer. Enjoy the road with your G! I do every time I get behind the wheel!

 

Yessir! I wonder if I know you? I'm Anthony Montes, I ran KAPU...but most know me for being admin of the APU Confessions page

What year are you?

 

you didn't have a g35 while you were here did you? there was only two of them here and i knew both people

 

No I didn't, I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I never remember seeing G's in the parking lots...at least not in UV.

 

Oh no i haven't lived on campus since freshman year lol. man there was only three of us here at APU and it seems like this year we got bombarded by them, they're everywhere now lol

 

welcome to the G community! Your on the better side of thing where there is lots of meets and you can see other peoples G. You have a great car there

 

The last time I was up there in October I spotted a few, I was pretty surprised. It's posers man, don't let them bring us down!
