Been hearing from alot of people that the G37XS isn't really sport has the looks more then anything else and the performance isn't really the same as the G37S NEED ANSWERS!!!

 

S........

 

so there's no difference? I'm buying my first Infiniti and just a little confused

 

You looking at coupes or sedans?

And they all have virtually the same power. The main difference is which brakes they got (depends on year and doors) and the suspension - xS got same as x, and S got different dampers and quicker ratio steering. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

coupes but I just found a IPL with in my price range so idk

 

With the x(awd) there is no tire slippage at all in everyday driving, and it is only auto transmission, good or bad, it's how you see it, so there's that...

 

So this is my 2 cents on this.I had an 08 s coupe.Loved it.I realy liked the staggered look,the big breaks,paddle shifters ect,ect.So now I'm sitting in a 13 xs,and both of these have been coupes.The only thing different is the square tire set up,and trying to drift��.
I personally haven't noticed anything different between the 2.
One advantage to the XS is you can drive it in snow better than the S.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with your decession.

 

I would have grabbed an S personally if I didn't live in the Northeast....ive got a xS....I think it depends on where your located or whether you want a winter beater....but theres no doubt I wish I had a S...I've got to add when we got the 33" of snow in March , my xS tore through the snow with no problem and thats with all season tires

 

Same here. I have an xS and I live in the northeast too. It's great in the snow.

 

unlike the xS sedan (which is cosmetic only), the xS coupe gets some of the mechanical upgrades found on the S (i.e. big brakes). the xS coupe does not get the VLSD or tighter steering or staggered wheel fitment.

 

I would have to agree with rich11g37xs...if winter conditions aren't an issue there's no reason for the xs that I can see.Nick,you also mentioned you found an IPL in your budget.IMO I would jump all over the IPL,and get a civic for kicking it in the winter.

 

I have a 2012 G37xS coupe and I have VLSD.

 

^ you are right. i stand corrected. here is what the S package added to the coupe (i keep thinking sedan):

Sport Package: 19x8.5-inch split V-spoke aluminum alloy
wheels with PP225/45R19 W-rated summer
performance tires (front); 19x9.0-inch aluminum-alloy
wheels with P245/40R19 W-rated summer
performance tires (rear) RWD; 19x8.5-inch aluminum alloy
wheels with P225/45R19 all-season tires - AWD;
sport-tuned suspension; 14.7:1 sport-tuned steering
gear (16.4:1 AWD); Viscous Limited-Slip Differential
(VLSD); unique sport front fascia; front sport seats
with manual thigh extension and driver’s power torso
and thigh support adjustment; unique sport stitching
on steering wheel and front seats; aluminum pedals
and foot rest; solid magnesium paddle shifters

 

I have an 08 G37s, manual was necessary for me so the S was an obvious choice.
I live in Ontario and don't winter drive, got my charger for that.


I wasn't about to spend the money on a g to ruin it in the winter, but to each is their own. Having 2 cars is expensive no matter what way you look at it though.
