Default DD downsides

Alright I've been doing alot of research on Zs and I"m planning to purchase one this summer. But I wanted some advice from people who already own them. In my experience, every sporty car has SOME down sides as far as daily driving goes. So if its not too much ask, I'd love to hear any issues the longterm drivers on this forum have had, no matter how trivial. I just want a good idea of what i will have to put up with in exchange for the good looks and performance. Thanks in advance!

the downside to the Z i would have to say is the trunk space
and the number of passengers you can take

sometimes i wish i can take more than one person somewhere and the trunk isnt practical for grocery since its really small

everything else i love about the car =)

I have my Z and a Chevy Colorado crew cab.The only thing my wife likes about the Z is that it is easier to put groceries in the hatch than trying to squeeze between parked cars and filling the back seat of the truck.I spend 2 1/2 hrs a day commuting and I have found no downsides at all with my toy.

I daily drive my Z as well and there is no really bad downside except for the fact of the trunk space.. i never really carry alot of stuff in my car anyway except for my golf clubs which is hell of tight with just that... but i would recommend it... in the end youll never regret the buy
