I don't know about you, but if I'm looking for a fast sports car, I could really care less about back seat comfort. Even if the Z won, this would be a ridiculous comparison.

After reading the whole article the Z fit best for my needs. It seemed overall positive for the Z. Seems in a lot of ways they were harder on the other cars in the roundup.
The only complaint I have about the article is they seemed to not know what they were looking for in a car.
I would rate sports cars different than I would sports sedans or passenger cars.
Back seats should be noted in the overall standings but thats about all.

after reading and watching the video, you'd think the Z was the best 'all around" of the bunch, whacky scoring system is the culprit. I actually like the 350 review, pointed out all the things I bought it for, not intersted in leather and wood interiors on my 'sports car'. mine certainly doesn't sound like a coffee grinder. hmmmm

The 350Z and Corvette are both 'sports cars'....
the 350Z should never have a 'muscle car' title

There were no letters to the editor about this in the most recent C and D that I just got, probably next month. Log on to Caranddriver.com and send them a note if you don't like the test.
I think they chose, or got the wrong model. Should have at least been an enthusiast. And, the back seat thing is ridiculous. How can you downgrade the car because its the only 2 seater. I think that should be an upgrade.
My 03 z is a little crude and noisy, compared to a luxury car,but the more I drive it the more I like it.

This thread was from last week and was surprised that very few US-based members read or posted replies to it:
