nope, bought the car because i love 2 seaters and i dont have to give rides!!! occasionally i get 2 girls that wants a ride.. i always manage to squeeze one in the trunk. or they sit on each other

edit: if you are married and have kids.. or going to have kids.. consider Z or G.. unless you are well off and have big cars sitting around.. seen alot of Z lovers apart their car for children

If all of your friends have their own vehicles and you have no wife/kids, get the 2 seater. If you think your friends will be bumming rides all the time or you need to haul the family around, get the G35c.

Cheers! -Mike

My last car, I had 2 rear seats which could only fit midgets probably. The best thing about rear seats were that I could have extra space to move stuff. Other then that, I hate giving people rides.

iono... if i were really that concerned with carrying passenger.. a G35c wont help that much.. id be looking into STI or EVO

a G35 sedan would be a different story for carrying passengers.. but that takes alot of fun out of driving.

My wife and I love the Z. It's enough for most days. In the winter I do like having the Pathfinder for wet/snow duty. It also come in handy when I take the family out...... Wait, most of the time I drive their Pathfinder or their Lexus. So, I guess a two seater does just fine for me. If I had kids .... The Pathfinder would have to take care of those duties too. But, you normally need two cars in the family if you are married. Now, if you are a single Dad and have more than one child..... Get a G dude !!!

If you have another car that you have access to then the Z is no problem.

Now if it's your ONLY means of transportation, and your friends or family don't really like you? forget about it!

TOO many years in undergrad study will do that to ya. You learn to get by with a few words.

Still doesn't save me from the occasional rambling.

thats funny, I feel like college did the exact opposite to me. I learned to ramble on about absolutely nothing.

I usually only wish I had back seats a couple times a year when family visits. is that enough to warrant a back seat? hell no.

1+ on that, a G35c's backseats are what 2 seats in the Z would look and feel like if you squished some in there Yup a real sedan would have to be in order, roomwise.

Besides who buys a sports car and worries about passengers?

Never bothers me ... makes it nice that only one person can ride with me, although a couple girls have squeezed in the passenger seat a few times.

It's my only car and I don't find it inconvenient. I have an excuse now for not giving people rides and it looks so much better than a 4 seater. It stands out in the crowd as something different and fast.

I love 2 seaters. I love the Z. The only ones that ever ride in it are me and the gf. Ocassionally, I'll pick up a friend or a co-worker and head out. I love coupes. **If you catch the drift, I love my car**

With that said, I WISH I had gotten something with more seats, even if they are stuffed in there like on the G35c. I also WISH I had gotten a car with USEABLE trunk space.
