and even if you do get the hanger on there, the coat would be smashed between the seat and the plastic behind it. not very useful

IMO....whoever decided to locate the glove compartment behind the passenger seat should have his or hers designer license suspended for good.
Funny...the dipstick never bothered me a bit, the only time i had trouble reinserting the damn thing was the first day i bought the car.
The limited trunk space is understandable, cuz the Z was never meant to be your primary vehicle anyway....we need a truck for hauling stuff.
Well...the passenger side cupholder is too close to the cd changer.(electronics and liquid don't mix)
The visor airbag warning label should be No Smoking label instead.
The Z's steering wheel looks old fashion.....how about a MOMO look alike.

I guess. I tried putting some change in there for toll money, but it kept sliding back where it was too hard to get out. I'm sure I'll figure out some other use for it eventually. LOL
hahaha

believe it or not the inside trunk release was introduced because some dumb car owner (i think it was honda) accidentally locked herself inside the trunk. she ended up suing and from then on car companies decided to put this function to avoid further 'tragedies'.
Couple weeks ago, some lady was kidnapped from bar into a car trunk. Luckily with her cell phone in her pocket and the trunk release, so was able to get out.
As for the Z, the most pointless feature is the windows roll down after opening the door. Now, I just roll down a mm down, so it doesn't roll back up.

Definately the center compartment lid that "slides" up into the dash in my '03. I would love to just superglue it closed and ignore it but every time I have a passenger they feel the need to hit the button. Also, my passenger cup holder which broke the very first day I had the car and has been shoved back and jammed solidly into place. If anybody reaches for that, I just lose it.

Holy Crap this is an old post!
Anyway - most useless part of the Z? How about the divider in the cubby - the one in the console. Is that really necessary? LOL

After washing my car today I finally noticed the driver's side lock (where you put the key in) ... I think after almost a year of ownership this is the first time I really noticed it because I always lock/unlock with the automatic hand-held device thingie. So that brings up a question ... what part of the Z do you think is the most pointless? I vote for that cause I have never used it once. Other pointless items include:
1) The flimsey passenger side cup holder
2) Any buttons on the steering wheel cause i never touch them
3) The inside trunk release
4) The rear wiper
If you can think of anymore let me know!
