I've only test-driven one, and the G35 I test drove was what I liked second-best to the 330i I ended up buying. I thought it drove nicely, but I really disliked the interior.

But that was an 06 model, and they've made the interior nicer. If I had to purchase today and justify the price difference, it would be tougher. IMO - G35 sedan is a very good car for the money.

If you really are getting out of your 335i, use the opportunity now to test drive a bunch of cars. When I bought, I was in no hurry. For a few months, I test drove just about everything in the sport sedan category, and I'm glad I did. It was fun and didn't cost a thing.

Wife had an I30 for about 8 years. Absolutely trouble free, never a single issue. So Infiniti gets some love from me. It was a good car.

Stepping down or over or however you look at it isn't going to be easy...

I really like the Mustangs V-8 for instance, BUT I drive one and even with the good rumbly V-8 I have a hard time over looking the silly ergonomics, and primitive handling/chassis. BUT I LOVE THAT V-8!

I dunno, The RX-8 was a great drivers car, comfortable and loads of fun. BUT, S-L-O-W for a "sports" car, and is way down on power for the fuel it uses. BUT, Brand new RX-8 for $32k? I'm IN!

WRX Sti, Evo X, etc... this isn't going to be easy. I have a feeling I will likely just be enjoying my 335 and probably buying another in a year or two regardless of the desire to scale back... We'll see. I love the dynamics of the BMW...

We are going to be stretching to buy about 20 acres and build the barbie dream home. So if I have to I'll be in a GTI, Volvo C-30, or something in a heartbeat!

We'll see, most likely I'll end up in a GTI, Audi S4, or as I mentioned there is something about the Volvo C-30...

Actually the C-30 is pretty cool... Haven't driven one though.


Thanks for the input on the Infiniti's, it's about what I expected.
