Z is second car so no issue....

If your concerned with it, I'd go with G35 Coupe... although its not good for long distance as your passengers back there will get cramps in there legs.. But the Seats are good for small children..

I think thats why I have so many miles . . . too many of us with 2 seater cars. We always have to travel as a group. On a side note it can sometimes be a treat to carry 2 passengers , just not too safe.

Why should no backseat be an issue?If you need more room why would you buy a 2 seat sports car like the Z?I crack up when these magazines to a review on the Z and knock it down for lack of room.Hello!There are only 2 seats.

I am a college student so the back seat issue never has been an issue for me.

Its nice to never have to drive anyone around ever again since I previously owned a 4 door sedan.

other than that.. I love the 2 seats in my Z.

I had a 97 Dakota pickup as a backup when I bought the Z. It died. I Have no curbside garbage pickup where I live, and no washer/dryer. IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Z was useless for garbage bags and laundry. Then I bought a Murano. If you have $80k, it's really the way to go. :-)

Specifically wanted a 2 seater. I've driven pick-ups for a long time and that was no different as far as seating. When I drove my Maxima, it was usually just me and my wife. 2 seater hasn't been an issue...if it becomes one, we take the FX45. Not a bad trade-off (grin).

i am glad they made the Z and the g35. If you prefer a back seat get the g35. I would not have bought the Z if it wasn't a two seater.

My previous car was a 2000 Altima. I live with 2 friends (roommates). One of them drives a truck (bench seating), but it is a manual. The other drives a car that would fall apart if you drove it 10 feet (exaggeration). Before I got the Z, I would always find myself to be the driver to drive us (and other friends) around.

It kind of got on my nerves because we couldn't take another car. There are times when you just dont feel like toting people around. Now that I have the Z, I'm somewhat grateful that other people have to drive for a change.

thanks for the replies guys and girls =) or is it men and women... ^^;;;; [/B]

Let's ALL be thankful that the Z DOESN'T have backseats..like the old 300ZX used to have!

I dated this girl once with an RX-7 2+2 (2 extremely small seats in the rear)......I took a ride once from Central NJ to Atlantic City with her and her Mom....I sat in the back, sideways across both seats....It was excruciatingly painful....for real!!

The only time I wish the Z had the back seat was when I got out a club and could only take home only one girl with me. that's the only time brother.
