05 G35R-SpecV

I found this in www.nissannews.com .
Is 05' G35(6MT) worth to buy? It looks like the 05's 6MT has more weight than the 04's .

don't buy it

05 G35R-SpecV

any reasons for it?

RiCeBoI104

yes, please explain why? I'm sort of looking at the car and thinking of buying one.. you can pick up a 04 much cheaper then an 05 so if there is any reason to pick the 04 over the 05 please say (same for 05 over 04)

thanks

Sam56n

20 gal gas tank?

is the 04 20 gal too?

It's generally better to buy the refreshed version of the car over the older one unless you have a financial incentive. The extra power and the improvements made to the car should offset the extra curb weight.
