Default IS350 to a G37S coupe MT???

Hello,

I wanted to know your guys thoughts and opinions about trading my IS350 for a G37S coupe MT?

I haven't heard much about the G37, are there any major issues or design flaws..etc?

Thanks and would appreciate the feed back.


BTW Happy Fathers Day!!!

Less luxury than the is350. More sport oriented and more fun to drive. Not as refined but a stronger performer. Simpler design and interior doesn't have as nice of materials.

The g37s is more of a drivers car.

I say keep the IS and just mod to your liking, coming from the nissan/infiniti world myself, luxury and sport is more important. Than just a drivers car.

No, it's not... sadly they made it a heavy pig when they moved to the 3.7L engine... it's slower than the G35 was... (which was still slower than an IS350).... (they did the opposite with the 350Z->370Z change though which is why the 350Z is slower than an IS but the 370 faster)... plus auto>manual for drag racing



Road and track puts 0-60 at 4.9 seconds for an IS350.... for a G37 manual coupe I've never seen better than mid-low 5s (usually mid-high 5s)

Or for a same sourcer-

Edmunds:
http://www.insideline.com/bmw/3-seri...us-is-350.html
IS350- 0-60 in 5.2

http://www.insideline.com/hyundai/ge...g37-coupe.html
G37 manual coupe, 0-60 in 5.7 (with traction control off- it's 6.3 with it on.... the IS350 with TC on is 6.1, so still faster)

If a coupe is all you need, G37 MT is a good choice. I personally didn't like the interior so much, but it does drive and perform very well. Definitely a car for having fun in
That being said, I personally wouldn't trade a 350 for it, maybe if it was a 250. I'd take the extra space and luxury of the 350 over a G37 since the 350 already has the power.

The Infiniti is a WAAAYYYY sportier, more luxurious car than the IS. Do yourself a favor, go test drive a fully loaded G37S. I promise you wont be disappointed. The IS is a nice car, but no competitor to the Infiniti G.
