...orly? hmm.

My girlfriend has an 03' g35 sedan that the starter failed in last night. It was 11:00pm and I was waiting in the cell phone lot of the airport to pick her up . Other than that particular pain in the arse, I like the car a lot. The auto sucks a fair bit of life out of it if you try to drive it spiritedly, but the motor has a nice punch.

Oh, your wife too?

I had an '04 G35 (6sp 4dr) and liked it a lot. That was a pre "rev-up" motor, or so I understood. I sold it with about 110k before I moved across the country. Car still ran perfect and used no oil between changes.

Once I got here I replaced it with a BMW 328i. The BMW is smoother at high revs, but you can feel every one of the 70 hp it is down versus the G35. For a daily, I would buy another G35 in a heartbeat.
