The G was a beautiful, sophisticated car. The VQ35 is ultra-smooth, the build quality of the car was excellent, and it was very luxurious-feeling compared to what I'm used to. (leather, steering wheel controls, sound deadening, etc...)
But it was a little sterile. In all honesty, my wagon is more fun to drive.

did your previous Mitsubishis have any problems
Never any problems with the 2000 and I beat the hell out of it. I evenually blew the tranny doing a burn out at like 90k. After that I purchased new axles, stage 3 cryco treated tranny, lsd, stage 3 clutch and lighten flywheel. With all of the other supporting mods it was completely turbo ready, head to toe. Car was bone stock when I got it.
I never really had any problems with the GS-T neather. The built motor always ran great, thing could handle a **** load of boost. The only bad thing was that it got horrible gas mileage. Car had a built motor along with a huge greddy t3/t4 60 trim turbo and was untuned.. Car needed a built tranny and a tune and would have been finished.
The wrx. NOT MY FAULT! haha the previous owner was an idoit and shot a rod through the block. Still haven't driven the wrx yet, waiting for my sti swap to be put in.
last vehicle: 95' Ford Explorer Sport
before that: 94' Ford F-150 Lightning

Well before I got my license I just stole cars for no reason...I guess I was on of those rebels without a cause.
My first car was a 2005 Impreza RS
Now I have a 2006 STI.
I had an '89 ford probe while I had my permit. The probe was sold and I got a 1996 nissan maxima. Now I have my '06 black wrx :P ....quite a step up, I think.
