Default Haha, congrats on the new car. They have always been very well reviewed.

I haven't driven one, but they have nice interiors and they sound good! Enjoy!

Default Congrats!

I'd be very interested in hearing your driving impressions, fit/finish. My 98 A4 2.8 got totaled and the G35 is the only new car in my price range with a stick.

Default the car is sick!

the 07's come with the 306hp engine, dual intake, vvt on the intake and exhaust ports(salesman told me this, i dontknwo how true it is), the sport seats are very comfortable, steering wheel is also very nice.

if you get the sport (iirc, its the only one available in stick unless you get the coupe), it comes with the 7" screen. the screen shows the climate control, bluetooth, radio, cd, video (only when parked but you can get aroudn that), mileage info. its fairly simple to use.

the drive is something my a4 was lacking. it has power and it handles. you have to go easy on the throttle or else next thing you knwo, you're redlining in first. you feel the tq thru out the rpm range. it pins you back and it pins you back hard! i love it! the steering, you have to get use too. it tightens up the faster you go. it requires a little more strength to take turns while going slightly above speed limit, but its nice. the suspension (i cant speak for the non sport or the coupe), is not harsh at all yet it doesnt feel like a boat either. it feels like the car handles better than my a4 with koni co's, but then again, i havent really pushed the car yet. the ride is smooth as glass! im goign 80 on the freeway and it feels like im going 40!

overall, i dont have any complaints. the seats are comfortable, ride is smooth, power is there, it handles. imo its a much more car for the money than the new a4 *ducks*
