Default Would you trade your 03 G35 6MT for a new 05 RSX-S

Alright gang, here is the deal. I have a 2003 G35 6 speed sedan with 23k mi on the clock. Although G35 is a nice car, I don't like its handling. I want to trade it in for a brand new 05 or 06 RSX-S. If I am able to get a straight trade from the dealership, would you guys do it? I want to hear your opinions.

Humm..no, buy some springs and new dampers, hell change the wheels and tires. To me, the only thing you might, and that is a big might, get in the RSX is just the handling.

I probably would. The G35 feels like a boat compared to the RSX-S.. it all comes down to what you are looking for.. you'll lose the few luxury aspects of the G35, but gain the sportier aspects of the RSX

The '05 Rsx S is a great little car. I had an '02 that I traded in when I bought the s2000. I liked it so much that I bought an '05. Major improvements over the '02/'04. Very nice handling and plenty of power (for a front-driver). Compared to the S it actually feels roomy, and I always liked the idea of a hatch. You can fit lots of junk in it. I know that it's not the right car for a lot of people, but it's got one thing that I really like. It's got a high fun to drive factor.
