[HanZcap]

The G35 and the 350z share the same engine,drive train, and some other odds and ends. That being said most everything else is different. The G is seven inches longer and down on hp and torque to the Z. I owned two at one time but am now down to one. The Z is ok, what it lacks in interior refinement it makes up in driving refinement. Some things to watch for are bad window motors, alternators, the rubber around the front windshield will crack and deteriorate. The leather seats wear ok but need to be treated constantly or else the wear quickly. The 6 speed transmissions are junk, I'd say one in 10 owners has had it replaced once and 1 in 20 have had it replaced twice. I know Z owners who have had their transmission replaced 3 times or more. I would assume that the same rings true for G owners but I don't frequent G forums as much as I do Z forums. Overall its a good car for the money but I will be selling/ trading mine in the spring for a new SUV. I wouldn't buy another one until they work out more of the kinks...
