    I'm assuming that you are talking about a G35 coupe? The back seat in a G coupe is more like a padded shelf than a back seat. You can't exactly fit anyone besides a kid back there comfortably. The RSX is pretty much the same way.

    So basically you are comparing 4 two seaters as far as comfort. Just because they have back seats doesn't mean they are actually functional LOL.

    My choice would be the G35 Coupe. The S2k is fun, but too small interior wise for me. The RSX is not very exciting to drive (even the Type S isn't all that IMO), and I don't like the outside of the 350z.

    350 was called one of the top deadliest cars which is the cause of the high insurance rates. G35 was called one of the least deadliest cars and im pretty sure the insurance rates on that compared to the 350 is like night and day. Also having backseats helps you out in the insurance department.

    also where did the S2K and RSX come from when you're thinking about 350s and G's??

    mine was right too.


    the cars are all different. he needs to test drive each one. he'll have the most fun in the 350. the s2k isnt made for everyone. G35's are WAY over priced and for the money u save buying a 350, u can mod it a little quicker. an RSX just doesnt fit with the other 3.

    LOL look, go with the G35, i had a 2003 model, and it drives really good, very responsive. and the back seat is not as small as you probably think. G35 FTW

    ehhh i say go for the s2000, wasn't too impressed w/ the 350z, it has more power. But revving to 9k is simply amazing.

    I would personally get the G35. I've driven the 350z and it's roomy, but just not roomy enough.

    To me it's like a weekend car, while the G35 can be both the weekend and grocery getter if you wanted.

    if i remember correctly...right when the g35 came out car and driver compared the two (350 vs G) and as far as the stats go then, they were relatively the same price except, the g35 was faster and it came stock with all around brembo brakes. if none of that helps, considering infiniti and nissan are the same company, and infiniti is the "luxury" company, i'd still choose the g35. its like comparing chevy and cadillac...

    i meant if u CAN afford to get a better car, why consider cheaper ones.. like the rsx and GLI, thats like me making a choice between a civic hatch, integra, Vette, or a viper...lol thats just how i see it.

    I like the G, the back seat is not that bad, compared to the RX-8. I fit, two 6ft tall people into the back of my car without any problem. Well, it's kinda Biased since I own 1.

    However, it's very expensive to play with. For the money, look, etc. I say go with the RSX. You can make that thing fast and look really nice for a fraction of the price modding the a Z or a G or an S2k.

    350Z and S2K would be in similar price range.
    I debated and I chose to get the S2k instead.

    I didn't like how the Z33 felt.
    Go testdrive one.. you should be able to make decision much easier that way.

    RSX is front wheel drive and a hell of alot slower than all these cars. i dont know why you would be considering that and those other 3.

    if you want a fun/moderately quick ( or fast if you get a 2007 350z )/good handling car.

    it's 350z. S2k is also a good choice, but just not my favorite.. i can barely fit in it.. and it's not as fun to me.

    Most of you guys are talking about the old Z with the VQ35DE engine in it. The new Z(07) has a new engine, the VQ35HR. That thing is a BEAST. If you only need two seats then the Z is the way to go.

    On the other hand, If you want 4 seats id go with either the NEW G35C or an IS350, those are quick

    The new G35 is a G37, not a G35.

    I don' think RSX is in the group of 350z, G35 and s2k.
    I will pick G35 coupe out of these.

    I would go for the s2k. Even in stock trim you can have a ton of fun with it. It has a built bottom end from the factory so you can boost it without to much of an issue and go up to 500+ whp without changing rods or pistons. The 350z and g35 are based on the same frame and motor so its kinda tit for tat. One is more luxury the other is more sporty but they sound the same as far as exhaust note. Take them for a test drive but don't get the new CR ediition s2k its just plain ricey.

    you have to build the internals on the s2k to get that much power.. not to mention the rear diff snaps at about 350whp.. it's much more exspensive to mod an s2k than a 350/g35. and stock for stock the 350 is faster.. and the 07 350 is ALOT faster.

    well lets say here on a vs mod

    s2k cost for new clutch would be 800-1100

    350z cost for new clutch around 1200-1600

    this is with it getting installed and the price will go up and down considering what grade of clutch u get.

    i've not seen clutch prices for 350's that high.. ever.. my buddy got a brand new JWT clutch/flywheel combo for around 800.
