Base vs S

[psquared39]

Sorry to hear you are uncomfortable in your G. We're on our fourth Infiniti, 04 35 x, 09 G35 X S, 2011 G 37 X and just got a 14 Q50 X S. I have to say my wife and I both love the sport seats in the S models. Have driven all of them on long trips and thought they were fine travel cars. Anywhoo.... We took our 2002 Base from Indy to Charleston last year, had a blast. Driving a P car on the interstate can be too much fun if you know what I mean, they're nimble, quick, and obviously like to go FAST! We're both 48, 5'10 175 and 5'6 120 so we fit in the P car very well. I dont think you're going to find a comfort difference between an S and Base. Saying that... 18" wheels will have lower profile tires, which are less forgiving than 17's. Since our trip I have installed the M030 suspension on my 02 base, which is considerably stiffer than sock when we took the trip. Its a daily driver for me, short stint to work, I do about 7-8k a year. It will be 5 years in August I've had this 02, and I'm still so excited to drive it EVERY time I get in it!!! If we lived close I'd let you drive mine for and hour so you would know, not sure what to tell you, to each his own...

I have an o4 boxster S Limited edition, an 08 Boxster S and a Carrera 4. I am 70 yoa with a bit of back problems and routinely do long trips (300 plus miles) with no big problem in either. We are getting ready to do a cross country rally and expect to do around 5K miles in less than 3 weeks. We will be using the 04 Boxster S because it has the sport seats which are much more comfortable than the standard seats in the other 2. At 5 ft 9 inches and 170 pounds, they fit me perfectly. I think probably they would be less comfortable if you are much larger.

I have an 03 S. No suspension mods. I am 6'2" and weigh about 230 and 46 years old. (wht does this feel like a dating site all of the sudden?) I use the car as a daily driver and commute about 45 miles each way. I got the car in Texas and made the drive to Middle Florida over the course of two days. I have never been uncomfortable.
