I love the 2 seater. It stops all the **** blocking third wheels from asking you for a ride. Oh it's great!

The only time I miss the trunk is when I gotta transport some dead strippers, but I find tying them to the hood of the car works just as well.

Best bit about having a 2 seater is no one expects you play taxi, after a night out. So no, don't miss anything the Z being a 2 seater.

I miss it sometimes when I want to take the family *and* the car someplace, but close-by trips we take both the Armada and the Z, and distance trips we rent a trailer and tow the Z.

I don't miss the backseat/trunk at all and if it was going to be an issue I guess I would have bought a different car. I have plenty cars with trunks and back seats (4). The ZR does make it hard to go for a family ride through the mountains though. The ZR is the ultimate in that scenario in my opinion. May get a G35C or RX8 to share in the sports car feeling with the whole family.

my first car was a 1990 300zx 2+0 then i got my 350z so i wouldnt know about back seats..... my friend has a g35c and another friend has an s13 and everytime i get in them i wonder why they put a back seat in there... sometimes there is a need for a back seat but there is always a way to get around it so i dont regret it at all.

I have not had a car with a back seat since 1986... Guess most of you were not even a gleam then...

When I had my Z I loved the 2 seat appeal that the Z offered.. but after I got rid of the car and picked up my current ride, I instantly realized that backseats, trunk and sunroof are actually GREAT! I don't think I can go back

I went to home depot to buy a new hose and one of those wind up things for it. Went to the car and to my surprise, the winder didnt fit in the trunt! Glad I had my GF there so she could hold it in her lap! Dont want to mess up the new leather seats hehe. But nah, dont miss it at all. I think its kinda cool having a true purpose built sports car.

Plus I have the GSR. That thing fit my IKEA bed frame and drawers that I bought in the same day!

I do miss a moonroof though...

I try not to buy large items in the winter with my ZR. It's amazing what DOESN'T fit in the trunk but will fit in the front passenger seat with the top down.

coming from a 240sx you could only fit one person in the back seat anyways, and the hatch was full of stereo crap so really I had no trunk either....

I like not having a back seat, just me and a passenger of choice. In 90% of the situations I dont mind the small cargo room in the hatch, the other 10% I wish I had more room. Im going on a cross country rally this July, from Utah to New Jersey, its a 1 week trip, Im gonna have to pack light and put all my stuff, my passengers stuff and extra $hit in the car like extra oil, coolant, tools, camcorders, etc, its gonna be packed in my car...

Yes and now. I like having a 2 seater because I do not have to drive a ton of people around (saves me some gas )

If I designed the car I would have layed out the trunk a little different.

I really wish I had a glove compartment.

It was A-OK until we had our Baby. Only having 1 vehicle with a Back-seat bit us in the rear. (Pun Intended) when our car broke down for a few days, we had no way to ferry our daughter to Day-care. Couple that with the fact it was my daily driver, even in 6 inches of snow, and It had to go...

Now, a G35 or Altima Coupe would be Grand.
