09 G37(with sport) vs 11 G37(no sport)

I am in the market for a 2009-2011 G37 (sedan). I have been specifically looking for a 2011 G37 with Prem/Nav/Sport packages. Apparently there are not a lot of G37's with sport package available in my area. I have found an 09 with sport package, about 40K miles but not in the color combo that I would prefer. There are several 2011's without the sport package, about half the mileage, in color combo that I would prefer for a couple thousand more.

My questions:
1. Any significant changes from 2009 to 2011? I have read about front grille and headlights but not much else. Any interior changes?
2. Pros/Cons of the sport package?
3. Any known defects specific to 2009 models?

Thanks in advance

Get the '11 in the color you like. If only a couple thousand more, you will be happier and have better resale recovery down the line.

The bumper is also different and the interior aluminum trim has a different tone, not much else. At first I liked my 09 grill & bumper better but the new look has grown on me, both look pretty nice.
2. Pros/Cons of the sport package?
The only real con is some folks don't like the seats, too confining or just can't get comfortable, most like them better though (more adjustments and better support). You get a lot of pros~bigger and much better looking brakes (that come w/ much better tires & bigger wheels), paddle shifters, limited slip differential, the more adjustable seats w/ thigh bolsters, sport pedal covers, firmer suspension (this could be a con I suppose, if you want a slightly softer ride), different front bumper, and that nifty red S on the trunk
3. Any known defects specific to 2009 models?
Just the weak, chip-happy paint, but that's all years
Thanks in advance
Good luck in your search
