Default G35 Questions

Hey all,
As some of you know my car was totaled. I am trying to figure out what I am going to replace it with. Something I have really been looking at is the G35. Has anybody owned/driven one? How did you like it... positives/negatives?

Also, how big is the backseat? I know it is not huge but in relation to the tC how big is it?

I am hoping to go test drive one this weekend but the closest Infiniti dealer is 100 miles away. Any help would be appreciated!

I have heard the back seats are pretty small but I have never been in one. I don't use the backseat very often but I need to put a car seat back there lol.

I am looking at coupes. I don't really care about gas mileage... that sounds kinda bad lol. Basically all I need is to be able to fit a child seat in the back.

The G35 is SICK and I say go for it! It's basically a 350Z with a backseat...

lol, my thoughts exactly!! If I didnt have a kid then this would be an easy decision... drive to dealer, pick out a 350z end of story!! I talked to a guy today that used to have a G35 and he said it wont be an issue getting a child seat in there so that is a little bit of a relief.

I'm sure you've searched, but just figure this picture

http://www.coolfastcars.info/wp-cont...e_infiniti.jpg

Except the front seat is up too far for anyone taller than like 5'8". I'm 6ft and the seat when i'm comfortable is a few inches from hitting the back seats.

But your kid is young so you'll be alright with that much room for awhile. But lets just say there will be no hanky panky going on in that back seat, lol. No room, and their buckets.

Black is a good choice, I noticed you said you wanted black somewhere. Check this out
