Q. I was looking a that vehicle online. Is there anything special that I should know about this vehicle? But I am considering more likely to purchase a used one. But I would like to know like if they are piece of sh*t, what type of gas do they need? Stuff like that.


Answer
When last we drove the Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe, we liked it better than the Nissan 350Z, whose platform and general form it shares, and speculated that a manual transmission would be more suited to this grand tourer's sport-luxury mission in life. Having just stepped out of a G35 Sport Coupe with a slick six-speed manual gearbox, we can happily pronounce that hypothesis to be correct.

The G35 Sport Coupe appeared in 2003 as Infiniti's first coupe in over a decade. Based on a stretched 350Z chassis, the G35 Sport Coupe offered rear-wheel drive performance, eyecatching styling and room for four adults, provided that two of them were reasonably athletic. For 2005, Infiniti has upgraded the G35 Sport Coupe's interior and offers up healthy performance and handling improvements for sports-minded drivers in the form of the G35 6MT Coupe.

Considering the usually upright competition from BMW and Mercedes, the G35 6MT Coupe stands out with sleek, laid-back design. The broad, horizontal-bar grille and stacked headlamps are similar to that of the G35 sedan, but the body is low and stretched taut over 19" wheels. It's a great-looking car, with smooth sides and elegant wrapped taillights. The G35 6MT Coupe features a trunk instead of a liftgate, to keep noise down. On the safety front, side and side-curtain airbags are standard. A few new colors are added to the palette as well. Xenon headlamps, a sunroof and LED taillights are part of the package as well.

Inside, visibility is better than you'd expect, but not as good as that of the full coupes. Front-seat passengers are treated to a dash with a choice of rosewood or aluminum trim and comfortable seats with awkwardly-located adjustment controls. The 6MT Coupe adds drilled aluminum pedals and a sport steering wheel, which are also available with an upgraded suspension package. Rear-seat passengers get more leg room than they might expect, but not a lot of headroom. The high driveshaft tunnel makes the G35 6MT Coupe a four-seater only. Sound systems are now MP3 capable, and heated leather seats are standard. Infiniti also offers a navigation system with a retractable 7" display.

For 2005, there are more differences between the manual and automatic transmission-equipped G35s than before. 6MT models, equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, also get an 18-horse bump in power, to 298. The power boost comes courtesy of electronic exhaust valve timing and some structural changes to the block. The G35 6MT Coupe's 3.5 liter V6 is a powerful, smooth engine, one of the best out there, and the increased output is more than welcome. The transmission has wonderfully short, direct throws, and only the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) stability control system spoils the power when it jumps in to kill any wheelspin. Speed freaks with a few race classes under the belt will be happier with the VDC turned off. If you don't want to shift it yourself, the G35 Sport Coupe is also available with a five-speed automatic transmission.

The 6MT also features a Sport-Tuned suspension package, which enhances the aluminum-intensive multi-link suspension with larger wheels, a limited-slip differential and stiffer springs. The Sport-Tuned Suspension package is available on the automatic-equipped G35 Sport Coupe as well. Special "ripple control" shocks eliminate some of the harshness that's often found in sports couples. Handling is superb, with direct, immediate steering and excellent control through curves. We think the G35 6MT Coupe is a better real-world handler than the track-bred 350Z, at least in the Midwest where smooth freeways are a rarity. The G35 6MT' Coupe's longish wheelbase offers a ride that's less likely to be disturbed by a frost-shattered expansion joint. Infiniti's VDC is standard equipment.

With new colors and improved performance, the 2005 Infiniti G35 6MT Coupe is a strong entry in the growing "grand touring" segment. Pricing starts at $33,000. The automatic-equipped G35 Sport Coupe starts at $32,400.

Whats the fastest car I can buy for around $25,000? I was thinking Mustang gt, GTI, WRX, 350z, Lancer Evo?

I live in the North East, so I'll have to drive in the snow. I'm probably going to be racing it so I'm also looking for reliability. Also, I'm not really into the two seaters its kinda inconvenient. Please post any suggestions.
Thank You In Advance -.-



Answer
With a budget of $25,000 you should be able to find a "fast" car with ease. The Mustang GT is a fast car but the 2005-2008 did not have the best handling with their primitive solid rear axle, which was later improved in the 2010 model to the point where is beat the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS in lateral grip. The 2005-2008 Ford Mustang GT offered a 0-60 time of 5.7 seconds which is fast but not comparable to the other cars you list. The GTI is hardly fast, a 7 sec 0-60 time is hardly a great time and a FWD and racing do not go together. The WRX offered stellar performance at an affordable cost. The 2009 Model gives a 0-60 time of 4.8 sec and is around your budget ($24,995). The critically acclaimed Symmetrical AWD will give you the needed grip and traction during hard cornering or snow driving. The Nissan 350z offers superb performance at the cost of 2 less seats, so that will not be viable for you however the big brother of the 350z, the G35 coupe, offers grade A performance with the VVEL VQ35 engine. The G35 will jump to 60 in 5.4 seconds and the sport package will give the car monoforged 19in rims, sport tuned suspension, aluminum pedals, Sport brakes, Viscous Limited Slip Differential, etc.. This all added up to great performance, great traction and classic luxury Infiniti interior. The Mitsubishi Evo IX will give you the performance of the 2009 WRX but better. A 0-60 time of 4.7 sec, the legendary 2L turbocharged engine and road gripping Mitsubishi AWD. The Evo's rally heritage really shows but the only problem is the interior. in almost every comparison, the Evo has one, Evo IX vs WRX STi or the Evo X vs WRX STi. However in snow conditions the Subaru beat the Mitsubishi. Surprisingly there are a lot of cars that may suit you. With a budget like yours you should be able to buy a new car that will give you good performance or a used car that will give you great performance. Here are some cars that might spark an interest for you:
