After all this hype of the g35 i decided to go check it out my self to get my own opinion. I'm only 17 and usually dealers wont let you test a car unless your 21 so when i pulled up i made sure a salesman saw me in the cl-s and that i wasnt just bullshitin.

Messed around w/ the navi and all the other buttons inside before we took off. I like where the seat controls are located and the navi was cool too. But i thought the navi screen would be motorized but its like a push in/out type of thing.

Drove it for about 5 miles and the first thing i noticed is the squishy brake feel i hate that. It feels like the brake on a truck. I think if you get the brembos it would fix this problem though. I test drove a demo automatic w/ 1000 miles so it didnt have the brembos. What i was really waiting for was to take a nice corner in this thing, i finally got a chance to take a hard right and the car was just stuck to the ground. I wot'ed prolly about 3-5 times during the drive and the auto just doesnt have that great of a throttle response. The car was pretty quick but i doubt a auto g35 coupe can take an auto cl-s, it just didnt pull hard up top like my cl. So on the drive home i didnt feel that bad drivin my cl-s, the fit and finish of acura's interior is alot better. I didnt fell like i was sitting in a 35000 dollar car when i was in the infinity. If i was to get this car i would definantly learn how to drive a manual so i can get the brembos and actually feel 280 hp.

Pros:
-exterior styling
-handling
-rwd

cons:
-speedos and tach are very hard to read under sunlight
-squishy brake feel
-steering wheel too lose

 

nice review.

I HATE how the z350 look from the back, and I HATE how the g35c looks from the front, so I guess Im fuked

 

Actually, I give Nissan credit for trying to make their cars different looking with a little bit more power. However, I keep hearing that the inside is shitty.

 

I had the same opinion when I test drove the G35c recently. It's a nice car, but not nice enough to get rid of the CL for. It's got the performance of the CL in the straight line, better handling but much worse interior

 

I told you guys I was first on line to test drive that thing and after I did I looked at more mods for my car ....cause I knew I was keeping it for now

 

Man! The Lex/Benz/BMW/Infiniti dealers in the Bay Area don't pay ANY attention to me when I show up in a CL (I'm 19), perhaps people here in Cali are just rude. Hahaha

 

You cant complain about the power. 280 horses is alot, and the pricing is great. Interior, ehhh..

 

when he asked for a id to copy i gave him my older bros, hes 18 and were identical.

but the g35 drive just made me love my cl even more, before i was about to take it for a spin i was about to back out because if i fell for it i would regret not having it. its a bad habbit of mine i shouldnt drive better cars than the cl-s cause i'll want what i cant have.
