they're both great cars. but you can't buy a g35 6mt for 27k. and the z is lighter and > hp. back seats are nice for extra storage but in terms of seating they're overrated. every car i've owned has had small back seats and i've used them for passengers maybe a total of a dozen times. infiniti has better customer service and warranty though.

He had no idea what the hell he was talking about, b/c my Z has 99% of the same features. What a moron! Well, what do you expect from a guy that drives a C240 and dreams of owning a jag. LOL.

i have a g35c. and i love my car! when i was going to buy i thought the z was actually slightly better looking. but i thought the interior trim and fit was cheaper and i need a little more room (back seat and trunk). after being on this forum and seeing some of your cars with mods and unique colors i think the z's are alot better looking then before. they are both great cars. it just depends on your needs. i give big respect to either when i see them on the road.

I had another friend tell me his C230 has "great engineering" and a "really nice interior." I laughed to his face. 180hp and trim that looks like burned tin foil? I'll pass. **Disclaimer** I'm not trying to rip on any car or the owner of any car.

I'm on of those guys that drove a Z and said, this is one of the best handling car's I've ever driven. But I had to walk away from the 2 seater thing however. So I put the Z suspension on to get back the magic, just sucks the ride quality comes along too. I would still rather have the Z however.

Yeah, I got this from the Moron head sales guy were I work.
He`s the same guy that if I had a Ferrari Modena, he`d say "You should have got that new Mercedes/Mclaren.
Meanwhile, he drives a Dodge Durango.
What an idiot.

I was set on a black track 350z. However, when I looked at a black G35c MT I had to get the G.
I have pangs of regret everytime I see a black track 350z. I traded a more conservative interior for some key items, ie - two seats (boo), a freakin longer wheelbase, 200 more lbs, no gauge pods (this hurt me the most), and the fact that everyone and their mom has a G35 now.
I think either way I went, I would have had some form of regret.. Must get my dad to get a Z. =)

Like I said before, first I wanted a Z. Then I was like nah everyone has a Z just wait till the G35 coupe comes out. Then the coupe comes out. I've looked at both cars and compared them lookswise. The Z looks more exotic, the fact that it has less seats makes less people buy them. First I saw alot of Z's, and a few G's. Now I see atleast as much G's as Z's if not more.
This car rides rough, looks good, and goes pretty fast. That's why I like it. The Z is slightly more of a sports car thats why I like it so much now.
Plus Daytona Blue rules!
Love Black though, I have a Civic that's black
I had a Silverstone GTI that color was nice too.

in the looks department, 350z rules, but this department is subjective. people either LOVE it or HATE it because its so unique.

I like the G35c, but I fell in love with the Z. At first I wanted the Daytona Blue, but the dealership had this Liquid Aluminum, with the 18" wheels, TCS and Tire preasure monitoring that caught my eye, and which I ended up buying.
I like how the door handles match the rest of the body, not that the door handle/body color contrasts are bad, I just prefered the more uniform look.
My roommate went the other way. After I got my Z, he decided he needed to trade in his GTP for something new. He went with the FX35 over the Murano, and I have to agree with him. The FX is a much better looking vehicle, and all the bells and whistles that come with it are nice.

the people who say you should have got the g, probably didnt drive both. i almost got the g, but after the test drive, like some one said earlier, i felt nothing emotionally.
after the test drive in the z, i couldnt stop smiling. there was no doubt in my mind that i had to have it.
the only reason i would consider getting the g over the z is if i needed the rear seats... which i dont.
plus, the g is an extremely beautiful car, but there are just too many here in hawaii. i rarely see any z's and way fewer zr's.
