I agree the 2G looks are nice, I also like the 3G looks so I wouldnt deside over that but interior and comfort goes hands down to the 3G then the next thing is power potencail and fun factor hands down 2G AWD

 

I spent about 5 hours today driving to every dealership within half an hour, probably checked out like 20 dealerships. In all that, I didnt see a single 2g of any kind. I did see a couple 3g's, but thats about it.

 

ya most likely your not gonna find a 2g at a dealership, your gonna have to go private to get one.. start lookin around on autotrader or something.. just keep your eyes open

 

4-5 out of the thousands of people on here and all the people iknow and cars i see isnt a bad number. Its every so often

 

well you gotta consider that only a handful of them are active members, so how many of those are there? like 100?

 

to me i dont care the numbers behind it. The problem with the block is ALWAYS there and the potential is ALWAYS there. It still has a pretty good chance that it can happen. Is it something you should be aware of? yes. It is something that should automatically turn you away from a 2g? i dont really think so. Just be aware that there is such thing as crankwalk and it is not soley based on how well it was taken care of becuase it is a factory defect

 

I personally prefer the 3G, I would not want a 2G Turbo. The 6G72 is a fantastic and very reliable motor, and mods are easy to find for it. Power wise they are almost identical.

 

Isnt the 6G72 the 3000GT motor?

LOL you would say that... you are a 3g owner.

Not that im trying to be a d-bag.. but you really cant have that as an advantage of the 3g. The 2gs actually have more aftermarket parts... MUCH MUCH more. Not to mention a lot more potential.

 

the 3G V6 uses the 6G72 N\A and yes it is very reliable. There us a huge aftermarket for the cars but the potencial is no where near a 2G

 

peronsally i prefer the 2g AWD Turbo anyday. for the extra money that you will be saving from the price differenc from the 2g and 3g you can do quite a bit to a 2G. it doesn't take a whole hell of a lot to make them pretty quick. here's my opinoin. looks - 2g, fun - 2g, speed - 2g, handeling - toss up, reliability - 3g (unles you swap out the 2g block for a 1g 6 bolt). also if you plan on moding a 2g i wouldn't go to a dealership, as soon as you put an exahust on there your warranty is gone. you can pick up a 2g GSX on auto trader, ebay, dsm tuners etc etc for between 6-8k.
