I will say the 370z and G37 have better feeling manual transmissions than the 350z and the G35 but it's not nearly enough improvement for me to waste more money on their products. Of the two I liked the changes to the G37 interior a lot. A Mazda RX8 still has a 10 times better feeling clutch and stick than a 370z. I frequently imagine how great the RX8 would be without a rotary in it. My Dads 2004 drove great (When it started!).
My G35 was a total nightmare from a reliability standpoint. Both power door locks failed, the power seats failed, the door seals cracked and had to be replaced three times which made for the worst wind noise and tire roar I've ever heard, the leather on the steering wheel was peeling, both windows leaked at every car wash, the exhaust had holes in it before 100k. I had a full (Expensive) inspection done on the car before I bought it but they failed to test all the electronics. I owned that car for less than 2 years and put less than 20000 kms on it and every day was a new nightmare. It had 70000kms when I bought it. Infiniti dealer service is worse than Hyundais which I honestly didn't think was possible. My parents have a 2008 FX35 which is an excellent car with no issues so I probably got a lemon but a lot of went went wrong with my G is common for that model.
I've driven three 350zs and they were all disappointing. One 2006 with 20000kms, it looked like new but still failed to impress me at all. It's the same shitty clutch and stick it's had since 2003. My best friend, a car dealer has a 2004 convertible and it's even more portly and unbalanced. I also drove a 2003 with about 90000kms and the whole thing was falling apart.
I have a good job and I can afford to buy more expensive cars, the problem is that I hate everything newer than 1994.
