2007 G35 Sedan Journey vs. Sport
I'm looking into leasing a G35 and can't decide between the Journey and Sport. I wanted to make sure I understood the differences. I do not want the manual sport just the 5AT. The price is $1,550 higher on the sport and for that it looks like you get...
-Viscous Limited Slip Differential (How helpful is this in day to day driving?)
-18-in Wheels
-Paddle Shifters (Anyone had any experience with the quality of this 'fake' manual system?)
-Larger Brakes
-Unique Front Fascia and side sills (seems pretty minor)
-Front Sport Seats with thigh extension and power torso/thigh (This sounds interesting)
-Steering Wheel Stitching
-Aluminum Pedals
-Summer Tires
I live in Texas so summer tires and all that are fine. I generally enjoy sportier sedans and I want the sport feel, but the transmission and engine on the cars is the same. Has anyone had to take a close look at both and made a decision yet? Just trying to see what the best bet is. Thanks! (I know it's somewhat a personal decision I'm just looking for a little more info before I head to the dealership and pull the trigger)

With some cars, the sports package actually involves more than an option package with some external add-ons (to your original point). It includes the sorts of things I listed above.
TIA.
Money well spent..
