Tough to say without the mileage.

The 35x looks like it's been in a bad accident that was improperly repaired. Hood misaligned, and it looks like the air intakes on the bumper were sprayed over in the same color as the bumper cover?

G35 unless there is some reliability issue with the3.5 compared to the3.7. But assuming no issues g35

I’d suggest the 35 based on mileage and AWD

3.7 for more power but that year is known for Gallery gasket issue. 3.5 if maintenance is up to date. Same go for both. Keep in mind they getting up there in miles.

owned QX50 but hated its jerky cvt so I bought EX35 with standard automatic transmission and loving it to bits, a total worthy downgrade.

mazda 6 , have rented it for 3 days and it drives good.

the only problem is if you're tall , it's a little cramped

Qx30 only driven once , performance wise it's good, but i don't know liked the mazda 6 more

Overwhelming use of Merc parts with the QX30 so maintenance can get expensive. Mazda 6 for me.

I got my g as a college kid. Word of advice; while they are more on reliable side, when they do need work the parts get pretty expensive. Insurance is also gonna be expensive unless you do the absolute minimum coverage. They also take premium and like to guzzle gas so if you drive daily, you'll be puttin 70-100 into a tank every week or 2 depending on gas prices. Unless you got a solid savings or income id stick with a more economy vehicle like a civic. If you want somthin on the more on the fun side I've heard good things about miatas and ik they are easy to work on and dirt cheap to maintain.

If ur budget is 5-10k, expect to spend basically all of ur budget on anything newer than 2010. The infintis going for 5k and stuff are usually clapped to the moon and back

Something with the 3.5 or 3.7

2007 and up will get you the VQ35HR which is solid.

2010 M45 Sport is cherry if you can find one. I own a 2004 M45 and 2014 Q70S. I was in an accident and totaled my 2010 M45 and I was really bummed. You will spend a bit in gas though but they are all very reliable if you take care of it....Only major problems I had on both the 2004 and 2010 was the crankshaft position sensor about $800 repair and replacing the power steering rack on both about $1200 repair did it myself (not fun) on the 2004 and the 2010 about a $1600 repair at the dealership. Gas, routine maintenance and sets of tires will be your wear and tear expenses to be expected.

I would probably say g35 with all service done

Get a used Honda Civic.

G37 hands down

FX35 😤😤😤

Why? Just look at it and listen to the exhaust note.

FX35

Fx50S

03-04 M45 is my FAVORITE. In Japan, the Cedric/Gloria had a single turbo VQ30 engine, but Nissan North America didn’t want to spend the coin to certify another engine platform for North American emission standards, so they just swapped in the already certified Q45 V8. Nissans cheapness accidentally made a factory V8 engine swapped hot rod. Awesome car.

But my opinion of the BEST Infiniti of all time (and I’ve driven them all, many times), is an 05-06 G35 sedan 6MT. Great sports car, great sedan, and just an overall fantastic all-purpose enthusiast car.

I absolutely hate these cars. Get something less revolting.

8 gen j series for the win bro, be different and have fun

Get ready to have ur car stolen LOL

Please not another one

Not a huge fan of these. They can be expensive to fix. I would listen to others recommending Acura.

I used to have a mazda protege 5 in black. Loved that car.

I always get some happy endorphins when I see a Miata with the top down.

Honda Civics are hard to beat. Just the standard Civic looks great but you can modify it in so many ways. It will drive great and last a long time, you can't go wrong.

I thought of another, Honda CRX. Those were good looking cars.

04-08 Acura TL

Affordable now or when they were produced?

I've always thought the 03-04 Infiniti M45 was awesome, but it only fits one of those caveats.

I still drive my 2010 EX35, love it to bits. It’s a classic old school car, no cvt and no turbo shit.

Its a reliable car if clean. A friend of mine bought a 2015 for 30k with similar mileage and had to replace the engine after a year. Reason was no PPI coz he trusted his mechanic and his "trusted friends" friend.

Sold it 17k after spending on repairs and headaches.

I own one, the sensors are.. fragile to say the least, but the rest is very reliable.

Pro Tip, avoid Infiniti as the spares/maintenance may go beyond your expectations.

General rule when purchasing a used car,

1. Do a PPI + service history
2. Keep 30-35% of your budget for post purchase repairs.

MIATA. They are cheap, good on gas, light & great to drive, and they’re reliable & easy to maintain. Best car possible.

I’ve always been into cars, when I was broke I started off with some old jettas/GTI. Great cars and were easy to work on. Few years later I found a 98 M3 for 4k!.

Now I have a decent career and was able to get a car I’ve always wanted lol

How do I keep the passion alive? By working on my car lol I have a 1990 5.0 Mustang, thing is dope but not the prettiest thing in the world since I’ve gotten into 2 accidents with it. Could easily get another one that’s nice but something about being able to say “I still have my first car” in 30yrs is gonna be sweet. Right now, I have to rebuild my motor since it seems like 2 lifters have collapsed and I still have a smashed in quarter panel from a year ago. By no means do I have “fuck it” money for this thing, nearly everything I’ve bought has been second hand (heads,intake,exhaust,5 lug brake upgrade). That’s the key to keeping things cheap. I’m also subbed to a bunch of foxbody channels, usually older guys who’ve been in the foxbody crowd since the 90’s passing down knowledge.

If you need a car, you need a car. A used Miata is about the same price as a used Corolla.

If you're gonna buy a shitty used car, why not get a fun one? Why suffer? 20 year old Corollas aren't special anymore man, they're just old cars.

Kinda want to get into this NGL but I don't have a garage....

I was saying to my gf yesterday if you just get good at Subaru head gaskets you could clean up on FB marketplace.

This. Avoid the want it right now mentality. Get stable. Save money and then splurge on the good things in life. Patience pays big dividends but so few have it. 

Oof. I’d hate to move my car that much …That would turn me into a bike guy . I’ve fixed cars and I’ve fixed motorbikes I think they’re both cool and the engine go brbrbrbrbr
