Does the G37 Ride Better than the G35c
Just about to trade in my '04 Coupe for a G37 just wonering if it rides better than the old coupes. I only got to drive it for a few miles and with new tires and the highway I wasn't really about to tell. I've heard its like night and day compared to the old coupe but for those of you that have owned both, how is it??

? The G37S 5AT almost drives like a different car when compared to the G35 5AT. It feels so much faster. The G35C has a huge lag when you step on the gas, but the G37 got rid of that problem. Road noise is much lower and much higher quality inside and out. To put it is perspective, the imporvement on the G37 over the G35c, i would price it at about $5,000 - $7,000. Since the MSPR increased only by $1,000 or so, the G37 is a steal in my opinion when compared to the G35C.
I am comparing only the 5ATs. I think the imporvement on the 6mt is less (power wise at least).
p.s. i had both my G37S and G35C at the same time for 1.5months so i compared them almost every day

I went through the same thought process before i turned in my '06 coupe. Let me tell you now that i've had the G37 for 2 months. It is "night and day". The G37S feels so much better in every way .....did i say every way ?

That difference is much greater for the old 5AT vs the new 5AT. There is less of a difference between the old 6MT and the new 6MT when compared to the differences between the old AT and new AT in overall feel and performance.

Nope, the performance difference is very obvious on the 6MT as well. The final gear is shorter and it shows. My 08 G37 6MT pulls much harder at any speed than my 06 6MT.
I second the night&day comparison. The G37 is smooth, quiet, and refined, yet has less body roll and thus better handling than my G35C.
And yes, the undercoating is there to deal w/ water/gravel noises -- take a look at the thick black felt in the rear wheel wells of the G37....

Now I'm even more disappointed I didn't wait for the G37. I got rid of my G3 because of the harsh ride, cheap looking interior and thatnhorrible seat. The seat was the main thing. So they improved the interior. Now I hear they improved the ride. What about that horrible seat?

Guys please dont turn this into a Transmission/performance debate. The question was the ride quality. Subtract your transmissions, acceleration, track number times, etc thoughts or 2cents out of the equation because it's not needed in this thread.

How big of difference though? I am driving a 2003 Camry right now, what can I expect from sport/non-sport suspension? I assume non-sport will obviously rides better than Camry since it's 10k more expensive, what about sport?
