Hey every one. Im new to the g35 platform; I love the car and am looking to get one when i get back from boot camp. My issue is that I live in up state New York and we get quite a bit of snow. So my question is, how does this car handle in snowy, rainy, icy weather?

Just get the "x" with all-wheel drive and you should be fine.

I drove my G37 through slush with the summer tires on and it did fine (did not think it would snow that day). Living in NY I would suggest getting some blizzaks for the car come winter time and you should be OK.

I've got an X here in Maryland, and it has come in handy during the snow/ice days. I was able to drive uphill on a sheet of ice without a problem.

I highly recommend it.

If you get a 6 speed manual it handles just fine

Just get the proper tires for winter and you should be fine.
