Wish we had them in South Florida...when hurricanes pass thru here, we always loose power and with Wilma, it was 9 long days! Guess every area has it's own unique weather problems. Still proves the fact that Mother Nature is truly in charge. The Sandman

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 29, 2009 7:28 am) In the Fitchburg MA area, about an hour NW of Boston, a few weeks ago, 1000's of people were w/o power for about 2 weeks. They're holding town meetings & petitioning the gov. to get a diff. electric co. that actually has enough repair trucks, crews, etc. to fix the downed power lines. (????!) But I'm not sure what kind of vehicle would get over/out out of my surburban driveway after the weekly blizzard?: a packed 12-16" snow mass at the end of the driveway courtesy of the town plow trucks. Takes me 3 days to shovel out (bad back, etc.), & no matter what snow tires you put on a RWD bmw, well, you know..... Does anyone here have a generator? Gas, or diesel-? |

so far I love it. It is a bit grumbly at take-off and the 6-speed manual could learn a few things from a Honda. But it drives great, handles great, and feels solid. Overall, not sure we could have gotten more car for $12,000. Bad part is it has it's first war mark. Somebody bumped into it and didn't have the decency to stick around. Not that bad, just knowing it wasn't there before is upsetting. If I had a budget of $250 per month and wanted a new car I would stick with a Civic EX or Si 4-door with NAV. Got some quotes for $275 per month for the SI sedan with NAV when I was deciding whether to buy the G35 or go the new car route.

Replying to: anonymousposts (Jan 31, 2009 9:08 am) We have one of those in the family as well. It has been a great car, and a great drive. If my working situation was different, that would be a vehicle very high on my list. Congrats. |

Replying to: anonymousposts (Jan 31, 2009 9:08 am) Is that to buy or lease? It's been a while since I drove one, but I remember the G35 as a nice-driving vehicle. They are good deals on the used market, and seem to be reliable. The new Hyundai Genesis coupe has ambitions of competing with the G37. If it's as good as they say it will be, a used Genesis will be a bargain in a couple of years. |

per month was a 36 month 15k lease quote with zero cap cost reduction. The new Genesis is the closest I have come to saying I might actually lease or buy a Hyundai. It still looks a bit nondescript, kind of like the car with no badges Consumer Reports uses for its cover, but overall seems like a raging bargain.
