Before I bought my I35 a friend repeatedly tried to get me to buy a 2005Camry for $27,000 because I "could drive it forever with no problems and use it as my second car whenever I bought something else". I've seen 2004 I35's with under 12k miles for under 23k dollars more than once. Anybody can see that a used I is better than a Camry or Accord any day.

More HP
Better Basic Warranty
First Class Service Experince
Much Better Luxury Features and Packages
Much Better Performance and Handling
Much More Unique (you don't pass as many on the road)

 

You made the right choice. A camry is just the pu$$y everyday boring transportation. No luxury, no class, no performance.

Accord is somewhat like that BUT you can get a 245 hp V6 6spd in either the coupe and sedan. That is new for this year. Before only the coupe could come in V6 and 6spd. THe car is in the low 14s, so it can definately bang some gears and move.

If I had to choose between an 04 I35 and a 04 Accord coupe V6 6spd, I would take the honda hands down... I live to drive stick. If you took the manual tranny out of the equation, I would choose the I35.

 

I feel about the same with my 02 I35... what a good value, tons of power and class. Toyotas are almost always 20 or 30 hp shy of where they should be. And I drove the crap out of an Accord for a day and the thing wasn't the same afterwards (warped brakes for one). The infiniti seems a lot more sturdy to me, but most people don't drive them quite that hard. The other day I saw an M45 owner exchanging glances at his car and mine... very unique.

 

hahahaha, I'm the KING when it comes to grilling other infiniti drivers!

 

I love my I35 for all these reasons as well. I obviouslly come from an Acura Legend-another amazing and INCREDIBLY distinct and rare car. People just love my i35, and I got such a great deal for such an amazing luxury ride. Not quite like my Legend, but it definatly has more power!!!
