sport or nav

ok if u had to choose between the sports package or the nav package which one would you choose? the nav would be nice to have but so would the rims and tight suspension that come with the sport package.....

SPORT, get the better suspension, brakes, front facia, wheels, ect. You can always get a Garmon navi for a hundred bucks or so, and that will serve its purpose. And if you really wanted to, you could buy a universal bluetooth device so you can talk in the car hands free with bluetooth.

Yeah, definatly sport. The nav is nice to have, but in all reality i really dont think I'ved used it once for directions to go somewhere. I usually always know where I am going. My bluetooth on the other hand gets used quite a bit, but there are ways around that.

id probably disagree. nav is a lot harder to add afterward. plus it comes with the rearview camera. when you buy the car, you should definitely upgrade the sway bars. most likely you might lower it with springs or coils. wheels are a probable if you plan on modding - you can even buy used 19s. the bumper can always be swapped too. just my 2c.

^^^ All very true. I forgot the camera comes with nav. I use that ALL the time. But, one thing that would be alot harder to get later with the sport is the VLSD rear end.

I agree with w0ady. I assume your going to have the car for a while, get both and have no regrets!

I chose Sport over Nav, but had premium so I got bluetooth with that. Rear-camera would be nice but really, I've done just fine without it for years and I still am. Besides, I plan on getting a smartphone (e.g. an iPhone) and those have much better directions these days than in-car navigation. For example, the iPhone (jailbroken) has turn-by-turn GPS directions that uses Google Maps (always up to date) and you can use it in offline mode in case you'll be driving through areas with limited cell coverage. That, imo, will beat the pants off of Infiniti Navigation.

But of course, that's where my priorities lie, you have to make the decision yourself.

Both. No question. I would even get a lesser car if I couldn't have all the options I wanted. Down the road when your car is still running great but all the current options become standard on the new cars you will have an old car by comparison. Does that make sense?

this is very hard choice to make!

when i was getting my G, the navi wasnt really my first priority, since i had S2000 for 5 years and i was fine without one.

my car is in service and i have been driving my loaner for about 2 weeks now...

oh my god...i cant stand driving without a navi! so frustrating! i guess i became so dependable to navigation for last 1 year of ownership in my G37C with navigation

loaner car is a new G37 sedan and this car does not have sports package either since all the loaner cars base model....

my G37S coupe is fully loaded with everything but if i really have to choose one between those two options...i would go with navi.....

in fact this loaner car's suspension was not all that bad.... actually pretty nice.

you should get both. you'll always think in the back of your head... "should of gotten the sports package" or "should of gotten the navi" if you don't get both.

if this is the deal breaker, i think you should be trying to find a more affordable car. since you're buying a 40+ k car, might as well get it well equipped. unless of course, you have other reasons why you wouldn't want one or the other...

+1

Im guessing you will have the car for a while, so you might regret choosing one and leaving another, so i say wait for one with both and you will have no regrets

if u really have to choose between nav and sports

get the nav. it's really useful. and sport package utility isnt even close to what the nav can offer.

but u really should get both. u will regret it if u dont.
