Hi all, I've been looking to spice up my commute with a sport sedan. I can't downsize to a Corvette because I have cargo and occasional passengers. This would be used as a daily, for fairly extensive local commuting (nothing crazy, maybe 15k a year). The cargo is for work, and a priority for me is reliability so that I never break down and miss anything, as well as low cost of ownership. I need to fulfill those basic requirements, but I want to have a little power and fun. I had been looking at the G37 because Japanese sport sedan with a manual should be reliable and cheap to own, but I have not been able to find one (well, at least one worth buying and owning - I've driven some terrible G37s).
Enter the CTS-V, which is similarly sized and similarly priced. I have heard that the drivetrain is more bulletproof, but I might run into some weird GM electrical issues or such. I have found a clean CTS-V with great maintenance records and ownership history (including upgrades to the rear diff), and since I have had no luck so far, I wonder if I should jump on it. I am down for whatever preventative maintenance so there aren't issues later, and reviews on Infiniti/Nissan ownership are mixed to where I don't know that it would be any more reliable.
Is this the car for me?
