Afaik, the sport package includes almost every option you can get for a g37 so I would assume so. Maybe someone can confirm that. As of today, I am averaging 18.3 mpg with about 60% hwy and 40% city driving. I have gotten about 19.5 mpg but I've been driving a bit more aggressively since my friends and I installed my intakes

I think so. I haven't seen a g37 non sport with a manual transmission.

Yes, the only way you can get a manual is an s, but you can get a journey with the s package in an automatic. By the way, I'm getting 20.9 mpg. About 70/30 highway/city.

Mine doesnt have adaptive cruise or self leveling headlights. I'm not positive those were options in 2011 though...

I have an 08 S 6mt and it's fully loaded. I'm not sure if every S comes that way. I haven't seen a 37 coupe without a sunroof though. I feel as if the S has everything but has nav as an option. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I have an '08 G37s journey premium sport. 5AT, Bose sound system, heated seat, sunroof, sport buckets, bigger brakes, sport suspension, paddle shifters. There maybe something I'm missing. (premium and sport packages on the journey)


What I don't have is a 6MT (only comes with the "true sport" if you look at the owners manual) Nav, backup camera, adjustable cruise as those are part of the technical package.


If you look at the G37 technical page, it will show you what options are available for each level of G37. For the lazy http://www.infinitig37.com/specs/200...oupe_Specs.pdf

My 2015 Q60S didn't even come with a spoiler. Which makes no freaking sense. No splash guards either.

It did have almost everything else. 6mt, sunroof, navi, bose audio, black chrome wheels.

Not sure why the S or "sports package" didn't include a rear spoiler.

I added the splash guards. Planning to add the spoiler too. As I'm probably keeping this car and not opting out for the 2018 Q60S when my lease is up.

Unless a new Sports Luxury coupe with 6mt is released by that time. Not really interested in BMW.

I am currently a 2005 G35x owner and have always been a big fan of the G35 coupe and G37. Any help would be appreciated.

My requirement is 6mt / roof. I see the base model with the 5 spoke rims. Not sure if the base model comes with manual transmission but I prefer the "Sport" model with the bigger rims.

Thanks all!
I got a 2013 6MT which came fully equipped.
No issues whatsoever. I do follow the maintainance schedule and care for it.
It is a blast. Get 21MPG combined and 25.6MPG on highway.
it is the perfect balance of sporty/luxury/space with great reliability and economical maintenance

I see that you live in NY too. Where did you get your G37? Mind sharing info about it (mileage, price, etc?)

Had my 08 s coupe for a little over a year, you really can't go wrong with it. Only issue I've had is a misfire code, just some bad sparks. It's got all the right aspects, power, looks, reliability. Can't get much better for the price. Bought mine in ny for under 20k with just shy of 60k miles on it.

I got mine locally from a guy I knew in high school. It was listed on craigslist. 2008 G37S 6mt with 54k miles, full loaded, IPL wheels powder coated gunmetal gray with new continental all seasons on them. I paid $14,500 for it. The front bumper has some spider cracking on it and one of the clips that hold it onto the fender is broken. It also needed front rotors since one is warped. But besides that it runs and drives great. I'm going to clean the throttle bodies and change every fluid anyway since it's near 60k miles and it doesn't hurt to have fresh fluid lol

I have a '08 G37S 6MT ... my car does not have the sport rear spoiler, either ($600 option ... forget that!) but has the mud guards. I also have the chipped steering wheel bezel issue but I don't really care ... it's an 8 yr old car! And the aluminum door handles are bubbling (poor quality). I also noticed the front dashboard ... the plastic is super soft, especially when it gets roasted by the sun on summer days ... when I take my sun reflector off, it's made some scratch marks. That has never happened on any other car I've had ...

Motor has been solid. Just fluid changes and nothing mechanical has gone wrong (knock on wood). The OEM Akebono brakes are surprisingly short lived ... I got about 40k miles for all 4 ... I have about 86k miles so I've switched them twice. They are expensive (almost $1700 to do the brake job at the dealership). And with my grandma driving, I average about 19.7 mpg of 70 / 30 city / highway driving. (I try to get 93 octane gas from either Costco or Shell). If pure highway driving ... it's over 24 mpg.

Good luck with your search, OP. All I know is my 6MT might have appreciated a little now that 6MT is a dying breed. Either I step up to a Corvette, Porsche or Aston Martin ... few manufacturers are making manual transmission cars (and no to the Miata, BRZ or Nissan Z...).
