My next car! ! G37 again?

I've got an 08 g37s 6 speed manual coup.
Bought it in 2013 with around 45k miles for about $22k.
3 years later, I have 82k miles on it, and still owe about 10k on it.
Looking for my next car, I really really love �� my g.
But I hate not having Bluetooth streaming on my car, and the miles are going way up.

I want something thats not going to break the bank so around 25k and below but newer than 2010, coupe and faster than my current G.
I would love another G without a doubt but I'm open to options.

Any help is appreciated.

I went from a 2008 G37 Coupe to a 2011 Sedan and I'm pretty happy! Well I did it because I had a baby but something made me keep in the family and just get a sedan. I would definitely take in consideration a 2012 and up G37 coupe with navigation sport model with lower miles

The new Mustang's look really good! But, they don't drive anywhere as good as the G in the corners, even with IRS. They feel heavy and have a lot of understeer. Also the interior isn't nearly as refined as the Infiniti. Just my opinion though, to each there on.

This is easy. 2012-2013 BMW 335i Coupe or Sedan. $500 tune and gets you 400 HP, handles better than the G and it's twin turbo so you can get way more power than that if you ever want to. Just get an extended warranty with it and you'll be set.

I got a 2013 6MT that came nicely equipped that includes Bluetooth, navigation, etc. It is a blast.

Not how the 2011-12 or 2014-15 are equipped. The Q-60 replaced G-37 coupe around 2014, but the line did not change until around 2016.
I understand that that the 2016 Q-60 only comes in automatic transmission (not stick).
Wishing you lots of luck

only problem is, is that the 335I spends most of it's time in the shop then on the road and is very costly to repair.

2016 WRX is a very good buy for a new car under $30k. It's not a coupe, but that only makes the car more practical.

If you want a rwd coupe, the best bet is to go with the GT86 or Camaro SS (slightly out of your budget lol...)

No doubt... I have an 08 with BT streaming for about $20 on Amazon, why go in more debt for the same car when the one you have is just fine and you know where its been for the last 50k miles???

Not true with the 2011+ N55 engine, I bought one with 14,500miles on it l, tuned it and never thought about it again until I sold it around 55k miles. Never spent time in the shop except routine maintenance, extended warranty makes it a no brainer, wish I kept that car before trying an M3 smh.

So you only owned the car for roughly 40k miles? Hardly a long term reliability test .... 55k total miles is still a relatively new car and it was 5 years old or less (depending when you sold it).

You stated that 335i's spend most of their time in the shop and I stated a fact that the newer 2011+ models which OP is looking for is way more reliable than the previous N54 engines. I ran mine hard for those miles and drove it every day. It never missed a beat, I didn't say that I did a long term reliability test and even suggested an extended warranty. The N55 is a pretty solid platform for big hp and tons of torque that you can enjoy day in and day out. Seems like that's what OP is asking.
