You also don't get a sunroof with a 350/370z, I'd go with the G35 for that reason alone, and definitely if you factor in the extra two seats.

[Nlkko]

I personally would go with a Z. I don't like having back seats in a 2 door. People expects you to drive them places

G35,the extra 2 seats makes the big difference, sunroof is a plus, and the g35 looks more luxury to me

I was once in this position a couple of years ago. I chose a 350Z because I honestly think it looks good stock and looks even better with wheels, kit etc...
The G35 is better as a daily driver but if I really wanted a daily then I would have gotten the sedan version of the G.

I find the G35 is a little bland, even with some decent wheels on it. Its not a really nice looking car until you start modifying heavily (like lowering, adding a kit and adding some nice wheels with an aggressive offset). Once you do all those though, the practicality goes out the window. The G does have a better interior and is slightly more family friendly.

Never mind the bonus seating space in the g35, it basically comes down to which car you think looks better op.
Hands down I would buy the g35

350z Seriously who cares about picking up 2 girls, if they want you they can fucking walk, 350z is way better looking and isnt driven around by every surrey jack you see.

G35 gets my vote. Comfort and luxury the g35 is better for sure. Btw, I'm not Persian, I'm Asian lol.
@bloodmack umm I disagree when you say the 350z looks better.. Sure it looks good modded but that's alot of cash down the road lol. The g coupes look way better stock and don't look as cheap and dated IMO. My opinion alright? Besides whenever I see a z33 convertible I always see a huge rounded ass lol

G35 for sure, love the way it looks and sounds. 350Z is just meh for me. i don't think i'd ever buy that car

[kayceeee]

although the two seats in the g arent very comfy and inconvenient to get into, but it is very useful when you need it, thats how i made my decision. stock sounds good enough to me, and pretty comfortable overall, but if you were going to get one i would get 06+

lol you're right i only posted that because it was already the 3rd page.

how i really feel about the two.

I got the g35, because i often will drive people and having the extra seats help. it also helps because I play hockey and a hockey bag just can't fit in a 350z.

Initially coming from a 240sx the vq35 was a huge upgrade and the quality of the entry level car was a plus too. The transmission was nice and smooth and so was the engine. although i was a bit disappointed with the engine after owning it for a few weeks. as well the car is surprisingly heavy, it's like 3500lbs! and a 350z is closer to 3100lbs. The suspension was comfy and semi sporty. The sound system is decent too if you aren't an audiophile, except the 6 cd changer does burn out.

Although compared to most cars, the car is decently quick but i was disappointed by it. As well both cars do have their share of problems as many cars do i guess

comfort wise the G35 is much more comfortable. a lot of people will say they're the same but they're not, the 350z has shorter and stiffer struts and sportier springs. the seats are also stiffer as well and with the shorter wheel base the 350z is a tiny bit less stable than the G enough for me to notice lol. not sure about the chassis though.

If you can i would get 07+ 350z or 06+ g35. they come with better engines and nicer interiors. second note, if i did get a 350z, which i doubt i would have unless i had another car, i would only get the convertible. Also i quite like the automatic transmission, it's decently smooth.

so in conclusion sometimes i wish i got a sedan, like a Legacy GT.

hope that helps OP.

so really do you want more of a sporty car? or a comfy/semi-sporty GT cruiser for the city/highway?


IMO, the g35 looks much better than the 350z.

"Consumer Reports notes transmission issues in 2003 and 2007 models, but I didn’t see much in the way of specifics. There’s more than one mention of bad hydraulic clutch cylinders, so I suspect that’s the main culprit. Much as this is an inconvenient failure, it’s not an expensive repair, and simple enough to fix for the mechanically-inclined driver.

The transmission issue could also be related to the way the clutch operates: owners of 350Zs and the similar Infiniti G35 have complained of a clutch that’s hard to modulate and makes the car difficult to drive smoothly.

I’ve listed quite a few problem spots here, which may scare many shoppers away from the 350Z. Despite the long list, Consumer Reports recommends this car as a solid used car purchase, and I’d tend to agree, provided the seller has evidence (in the form of service records) that many of the common issues have been dealt with."
