Exclamation If anyone can help

I live in North Dakota and we get our fair share of snow during the winter. I am looking in to buying a g37 and don't know if i should go with the g37x or the g37s. I've read multiple reviews about them in the snow. The x is obviously better for it than the s considering it is AWD. However it doesn't come with a manual transmission option.

I really would like the S but im not sure if the snow tires, sand bags, and easiness on the gas will do that well in the snow.

if anyone has the g37s and drives it regularly in snow i am asking for your opinion on how well it performs. Im really stuck trying to make a decision and would love some input.

As long as you're accustomed to driving in the snow I'd get the RWD since it sounds like you really want the manual transmission. I think you'll regret getting the AWD if you feel like you compromised. There's also better aftermarket part availability for the RWDs. Good luck w/ your decision & welcome to the site.

Thank you. I currently have a jeep but drive it in rwd most of the time in the snow. Havent gotten stuck yet since i got it but it does have 4wd. im used to driving in snow but im mostly worried about driving up steeper hills because i go snowboarding/skiing a lot.

the nokian snow tires are the best in the industry, the Nokian R2s should fit the G and are considered reliable snow tires. for RWD cars snow tires are an integral part of the equation and many have survived winters using RWD + good snow tires
