Yeah I drove a 300GT the other day and it didn't exactly excite me! You've all got me freaked out now though about the CVT transmission. but I did a Google search on CVT and CVT8 problems and came up with nothing? Only issues with the Nissan Micra CVT!

Ok Cool thats some good feedback from everyone! Just out of interest can people reply if they have had serious issues with the transmission? Im looking at cars with under 50,000 km on it so I'm unsure of the life of these gearboxes. The car will be driven fairly conservatively though so that should help. Also I am interested in people who have the 300 and not the 350 what they think of their cars performance wise? Worth paying a little less for only a drop in power?

Hey all, first time poster to the forum! Well I'm fairly close to purchasing a V35 sedan, will get a 350GT8 or the 5 speed but not too sure which to go for, performance, reliability etc are factors. I know the 5 speed is quicker, but the 8 speed is more efficient. The missus will be driving it most of the time so that has to be taken into account! Also I have seen in the private sale area and used dealer sections on Carsales, the prices are fluctuating quite a bit. For example found a very tidy 350GT8 in SYdney with 76K for only 21K. But some cars of the same year and same model are asking up to 30K? What am i missing? Also, 3 or 4 key points to focus on in regards to having a vehicle checked over, trouble spots? Thanks for any help you guys can give and I hope to return with some good news soon!
