The handling on the g25 is great and no, it does not feel like a "boat". I think the FRS/BRZ are completely different animals compared to the G... I have not test driven them but I have a feeling they will be much rougher on the suspension side with cheap materials on the inside.

I had a feeling the G25 didn't feel like a boat as I have driven the G35 model 07 sedan. It also has a better platform than a A4. FMR platform, not some FF platform like a Altima. It's funny how the guy above said the G25 feels like a gussied up Nissan when the only Nissan with the same platform is a 370Z/350Z. The A4 is actually a FWD platform with the "optional" Quattro/AWD thrown in there. And the G25 has a lighter engine than the 37 model by 100 lbs so it's not 1000 lbs heavier like one guy above suggested. A G25 base is around 3450 lbs(700 lbs heavier).

Thought the G25 had a VQ25DE in it? That would make it pretty much just a de-bored, de-stroked version of the VQ37HR in the G37. The weight diffirence from the engine, in that case, would be negligible, if any.

When I see reviews there is a 100 lb difference in curb weight. Also the G25 come with less content so the 100 lbs isn't just the engine.
