New to the group.

[WdnUlik2no]

hello yall.

I am new to this group. I recently picked up an liquid platinum 06 G35 coupe 6MT. and I found this group surfing the web.

I had my eye on the G35 coupe (and sedan) since it came out in 03. I ended up opting for the 04 Maxima first time around, then after I got rid of the Maxima (ended up hating it), I again decided to choose the 05 TL over the 04 G35 sedan. The 3rd time around, I finally was in a position to get the car I had my eye on for over 3 years now.

I still plan on keeping my TL, but the G35c is a nice addition my garage. Car is very fun to drive, as you probably all already know.. . Some minor complaints, but really when you think about it, no car is absolutely 100% perfect.

sorry for the pic size, but I took them with my camera phone and I will have them resized later. The last picture is not very good quality, but its a better overall view of the car.





at the dealer a few days before I got it:

Welcome to the group - you've found a new love, the G!

They are completely different rides.

The TL is a smoother ride and with the 6-speed it can be very fun to drive. I really like the interior of the TL and the Navi is awesome. The TL has more space (obviously). The only thing I don't like about the TL is with the FWD there is a little torque steer when accelerating hard on turns. Its not too bad, but its definetely there. The sound system is pretty good, and I love the DVD-A, but the only music I've heard with DVD-A is the sample CD that came with the car. Not taking the DVD-A in account I think the infiniti's BOSE system is slightly better.

The G35 is definetely more fun to drive, has a meaner sounding engine, handles better, and no torque steer. I like the electronic tilt and telescoping steering wheel (the same I had on my Maxima). the Acura's steering wheel adjustments is all manual. The rims on the G35 look sweet though I have always liked Nissan's factory rims on the Maxima and G's. With the 19 inch tires, I feel pretty much every bump in the road, but it doesn't bother me too much since thats expected. My complaints about the G is that the doors feel a little cheap when opening and closing them, and I think the interior could have been done a little better. But wasn't enough of a detterent not to get the car.

The G35 has Sirrius and the TL has XM, I perfer XM over Sirrius. It was just too much hassle getting Sirrius set up, I was supposed to get 3 months free (like with XM), but Sirrius makes you sign up on a plan, before you can get the 3 months. I did month-to-month and I was charged in advance for the 4th month. When XM was set up in the TL, it was hassle free, I didn't even have to talk to the XM people until my 3 months expired. I don't even know if I'll continue my Sirrius subscription after the 3 month period expires.

Another thing about the G35 I like is that the CD player can recognize MP3's which the TL can't. All I have to do is pop my MP3 CD in the radio and it plays them, no need to burn them as audio files in order to hear them

[joe603]

huh, you'd think that a lux car would have an MP3 player. It's cool to hear about the differences in the cars by someone who has them both! My wife is also considering a Mitsu gallant...we'll see. At least she doesn't want a GM!

I think the 06 TL does have an option to hook an IPOD directly to the audio system to play MP3's, but then of course you have to have an IPOD

But, yeah even the Mustangs from the past 2 or 3 years had MP3 capability.

Hmmm....ya know I tried an MP3 disc I made for my other radio and my G wouldn't play it...do you know if it's an added feature to the newer Gs ? Or perhaps it just can't read into file folders like my other radio which could recognise each folder as a seperate album. I haven't tried just a plain MP3 disc I guess...the one I tried I took directly out of my other radio (Sony Xplode MP40) and it had the seperate folders created maybe that's why it didn't work ? Anyone know for sure on that

[joe603]

2005+ G35s will play MP3s. only 1 level of folders are allowed...

[BlkrwdT]

Nice TL, that is the same color and option that I was looking at before I purchased my G. I chose the G because I was sick of 4 door cars. Congrat by the way !!

Also, does the your TL have any bad rattles? My previous car, TL-S('03) has its own drum set beat and it drove me nuts.

I have 6 folder in one of my disc with about 10-17 songs on each folder and it works wonders

Wonder how much the upgrade from the 2003 to a later model would cost...hmmm

...the radio that is not the car! lol
