Go test drive something else. OMG..awful. I have driven cars that are slow, have bad torque-steer, cheap plastic trim, horrible radios :facepalm: Awful!

Having new brakes put on Skyler today. He is mine for a while. :yesnod

I miss my G...renting an Altima with a CVT. Car feels like its about to die! A non-rental Alty would probably be better, but it does make me appreciate my car!

I test drive regularly and can't find much in the same level with the G. You sure can find a faster one or more upscaled interior etc,etc. Just not in the same package like a G. G does good in every aspect. Hard to sit in other cars and appriciate it the same way you do your G.

I did a long test drive of a M37x this past weekend, a NICO article I'm working on, and while it was quite similar to the G I liked it less. I'm still happy with the two G's I have, although I do need to go out and try some other manufacturers cars at some point.

If you want a good laugh, go drive a Kia Sportage. Hold on to the wheel if you are going to punch it though or you will end up in the other lane. :crazy: I have never seen such bad torque steer.

Drove a Mazda CX-7. Even the turbo is dead slow.

I can't do an SUV. It sure would be nice to have that room when you need it, but it is like driving a school bus.

Nobody even makes anything at all I want to drive. :tisk: All the American pony cars look just like they did 40 years ago. :wtf2:

I kinda like the new 'Vette but my wife won't let me have one. Something about my penor being too big for it. :laugh:

Otherwise, I tend to agree with the "Nobody even makes anything at all I want to drive" statement, though I would add "in the price range I want to pay" to it. There are a few cars I'd like to take for a spin "for giggles", like the higher-powered Genesis Coupe.

No more 2 seaters for me. I drove one for 4 1/2 years. It can be VERY inconvenient at times. If I were going to do a 2 seater it would be a Z. :yesnod

My wife hit a deer, and at first the only rental we could get was a Yukon. :wtf2: She was upset about driving it so I let her drive my G. Good Lord - what a tank.

Then I traded it for a Chrysler 300. She was willing to drive that so I got my G back. :biggrin:

I test drove a 328, compared to the G. It was a tough choice - G just came with more stuff really (and more power), and more backseat room.

never?? I thought that you were recently lusting for a red Z!
What do you need a back seat for if you also have a truck.

Oh that's good. I thought maybe something wrong with your G. I only used Delta once. They screwed up with me too. Not sure if I willuse them again.

I also said I would never buy a black car again after my first one and I have owned 2 of them since I said it. :crazy: I lie a lot. I would love to have a Z.....LOVE! If the right mood caught me at the right time, I would probably do it.
