I'm currently looking to get my first car and I have decided that it will be one of two either a 2010 g37x or 2008 g37s

The g37x has 90k miles and costs 6400 dollars USD(grey)

the g37s has 114k miles and costs 8000 dollars USD(black)

They both look to be in great condition im just stuck between whether to choose the newer model with less miles and extra features or go with the RWD S spec

One other thing that makes me hesitant is that I've heard that i should stay away from the earliest 2008 release.

I'm going to pull the trigger probably next week and I would love some insight from the people in the community.

 

Get the X, install rear LSD, save your pennies for a supercharger.
I'd only want an S if it was a manual

 

Look harder and find a xS Coupe.

 

Because of all the added goodies on the Sport model RWD, I would opt for the Sport model RWD, but I live in an area where AWD has little use.

f you need AWD to stay safe, buy it as big brakes, VLSD, close ratio steering help very little if you slide off the road into a ravine.

 

The Coupe xS came with the Akebono BBK, sport seats, 19" wheels, flappy paddles. Just saying.

In other words, if he needs AWD (few people do), but also wants the look & feel of the Sport model, the xS Coupe is a great fit.

Also worth noting, that 2010 has a 7AT, whereas the 2008 had a 5AT and shorter rear gears.
