Well, if you like to tow a lot of friends around, yes having a 2 seater sucks sometimes.

I'm not sure what you mean about no trunk... My Z has a trunk.. yes theres a huge sway bar there but its still a trunk.

I have a roadster and the trunk is not as large as my camry's but still adequate. I didn't expect it to hold anything. I sometimes want the coupe but when I have shoes or clothes in the trunk or anything of value I am happy to know I have a trunk instead of a hatchback. I don't think ppl who actually need trunk space buy this car lol but when you are out and about doing things and somethin comes up - it's like damn I can't fit that in my trunk. I do feel you man. You have to either own a bigger car or truck or have a friend who has one.

Coming from and Evo 8 (Bought the Evo for backseat & trunk) I don't miss it at all. Maybe cause wife has a small suv but I enjoy driving a true sports car.

Last Thursday and Friday I found out that two girls can sit in very sexy positions in my 350Z's passenger seat.

With my jetta, I drive people everywhere, now my friends drive me everywhere with their 4 seaters.

A lot of my previous cars didn't have backseats.

Nothing for me to get used to.

I say trunk. The hatch is different. By trunk I mean a place to throw random junk that no one is ever gonna see. Cant do that in the Z.

I acutally prefer not having a back seat. In my celica I'd always throw my random junk in the back seat. Now that I don't have one I keep it very clean. Plus you couldn't easily fit anyone in the back seat of the celica so I never had anymore than 1 other person riding with me.

Don't miss the trunk or the back seat because I still have my Maxima when either is needed. The Z is for fun, sunny, top-down weather, no rainy days, no major shopping expeditions.

The Maxima is for when the Z isn't enough.

I think it would be tough to have the Z as an only car, for many reasons.

Most definitely NOT. I wouldn't have it any other way.


Our tC is a good companion to the Z, though. Helps ferry folks to/from the airport and is also great for when there are just two folks visiting and we want to show them around town, etc.

I bought my car for a reason. And that being said, I'm totally ok with the no-backseat and smaller trunk.

I only ever have my g/f in the car if anyone. All my friend are like me and are car guys so they like to drive thier own cars, and as a result I have very few passengers.

As far as the trunk goes... I keep my gym bag, laptop bag, pool cue and case, extra work shirts/slacks/shoes, my cd case, some file folders for work, and still have a sub back there. Not bad. It'll still carry a fe grceries too.

So all in all it works pretty well.
