Hi. I live in Boston area and I am seriously wondering if AWD is worth getting. I don't think I had serious trouble driving with RWD cars so I am wondering if the extra ~$2000 is worth the money.

Heck, I practically live in the South compared to you, and after last winter's snow, there's no way I would go without AWD! My previous 2004 G35 (RWD) left me stranded twice!

i got the awd coupe and im from NJ. from what we get here, awd / fwd is a must. rwd cars always get stuck. if youre from boston id highly recommend it

Yes..
If you can afford AWD, get AWD. NO matter where you are at, handling will be better compare to 2 wheeler.

You also never know where you are going to be.

In boston?? Definitely AWD.. Idk how you got around without it there in the winter...

gooddeal

I would say you need AWD in Boston. I used to have a RWD here in Philly and it was o.k.

i say get FWD and save the $2k for good winter tyres. you also carry less weight without an AWD system.

Hey, dunno if your interested... but you could save yourself over $10,000. Selling my loaded (every option avail) X coupe


Have an 09 G37X coupe with 15,900 miles. Car has premium package (bose, bluetooth, sunroof), navigation pkg(so it has the hardrive for music, and its touch screen... 1 of the best factory navs for sure, backup camera), has tech pkg (adaptive headlights, and intelligent cruise control) and the 18" anniversary wheels. Along with illuminated door sills.

The car is fully loaded, and you really couldn't add anything else to it. The MSRP of the car was $48,672.

Exterior: Blue Slate

Interior: Graphite (black)

3.7litre 330hp... car runs mid to high 13s stock. Perfect daily driver. Its quick, awd, and has all the gadgets, and a lot of warranty left obviously.


I guess I would sell it for around $34k..which is a great deal. At manheim the car is going for $31500+ then fees, etc. I doubt the cars at auction had tech package (its rare) and I would guess not a lot even had nav as it was almost $3k option in 09. The $2800 dealer option wheels, are impossible to find also on cars.

Perfect carfax, nothing wrong... just want something new again. The car sounds great, gotta love the way the G's sound.


Will get some pics if there is interest..




That's the car minus the anniversary wheels... which look like this

you paid xtra for those anniversary wheels? from the picture, i prefer the regular wheels to the anniversary ones.

btw, i have a BS x coupe as well, loaded cept for Tech. but i wish i had the graphite interior instead of wheat. oh well, cant have everything...
