Opinion on purchase decision.

[joplrw10]

Looking for some opinions from the community. I am in the market for a car and have always had my eyes on the G series.

Currently live in Wisconsin, so AWD is a factor, but I am trying to decide between purchasing an 08/09 G37xS Sedan, or going for the G35 Coupe 6MT and purchasing a winter beater. As a point of honesty, I don't race, but I drive my cars hard (some would say as they are intended to be driven for sporty cars). Would be looking to pay pretty much the same regardless of which I would choose.

Looking for overall opinions on the two car sets, fun factor, feeling behind the wheel, etc. Thanks!

I had an 04 G35 coupe. I currently drive a 15 q40 (g37xs). The AWD makes it a little quicker feeling when accelerating. The 04 was worthless in the snow. I couldn't make it halfway down the street.
Personally I prefer the sedan, but I enjoy the creature comforts and I have always liked 4 does as opposed to 2.
The sportiness is about equal, aside of looks. The coupe looks way sportier, and the sedan, as my neighbor put it, "Looks like a soccer mom car". The power difference between the 35 and 37 is rather significant. The 37 feels a lot peppier and will outrun the 35.

I get lots of "that's a beautiful car" remarks on my 2011 G37x sedan. Of course, at my age, soccer moms look hot.
