> [@cougarspeed](#): > > I plan to drive a G35 for sure im kinda concerned about interior room but ive never been in one so i dont know yet. Price isnt firm i would go as high as $30k if i really liked something. The back seat of the coup was a little cramped, but I’m 5’10" 180 pounds (of pure sexyness) and I wasn’t totally uncomfortable. Head hit the rear glass was about the only real complaint. There’s always a sedan… An SUV or a big car though is probably a decent idea since the military may have you moving around. It might suck to have to move to Fort \_\_\_\_\_ without a decent sized vehicle. Even once you get there you’re going to want to get a coffee table, futon, 2x4’s to build \_\_\_\_, etc. You’ve got a 10 second F body to play with. Get something big enough to be useful. Even a loaded Pathfinder would be pretty pimp and you could probably swing a brand spanking new one with a warranty for your price range. What about Ford Edge/Lincoln whateverthehellit’s called? ---

M3’s are top in my book, wish they had 4 motion. If i where to have DD a car instead of a truck id want the wrx, or another r32. That vw is awsome in the snow. But for me trucks are key and I could not live without 1. Next year im getting the 09 ram. ---

I think i really need to drive a G35. Do we have any G35 owners on here. Are they happy with it? What about the E46 guys are you happy? ---

G35 ftw. they are super nice inside and out. my friend has an 03 with the 6spd n he takes it to drift events and it ran a 9.1 at lancaster which i think is pretty quick for a big 4door. ---

I would get a G35 coupe not sedan and IIRC you can only get the sedan in AWD. Guys i live near seattle and it dosent snow much. I am moving back to Buffalo in about 20 months but i dont have any issue driving a G35 in the snow. SNOW TIRES!!! Im suprised as many people like them this much. I must drive one now and see if they are baller. I know when i look at pics of them some of them look great while others seem blah. ---

yea, then you’re right - but the sedan is really really ugly by comparison, and not a car i’d ever want to own (IMO) ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Would you still fee that way if you had a 10 sec car already? Im trying to figure out if power is something i really care about or not for a daily. Depends on how often I was going to drive that 10 second car. 10 second cars, unless really well built, are usually a little extreme for the street. ---
