I went from my '06 Frontier Extra Cab to the "Z". Hell yes I missed the extra room, but I've since learned to live with it (or without). You learn to minimize the number of things to bring inside your car with you or at least keep them to a small size. I really noticed it when I got my new rims which were in boxes and placed the 2 smaller of the four boxes in the rear and the larger two in the front seat. This also blocked my right mirror view while driving. So yeah more room would be nice but not at the expense of ruining a great ride!!

I've used this quote a couple of times already and I'm only moving into month three of ownership. After I say, "Sorry, I only fit two and don't have a trunk" I get a sense of satisfaction come over me. I feel whole.

I love not having to taxi people around! Plus there is nothing worse than somebody in backseat bickering nonstop, so you solve the problem by removing the rear seat from the equation.

lol, good responses.
any of you guys needed to squeeze more than 1 in the passenger seat regardless? it happened to me countless times, one's on the floor, one's on the seat.

my trunk is stripped, yet I have nothing to put back there...

my passenger seat rarely gets action, unless it's my step-daughter yelling "faster"

barely drive my car only regret

Well, I can't take it snowboarding and that sucks. Actually, I put the top down once and hit the slops with my board in the passenger seat. I got some funny looks, but it was ok.

But I LOVE having a 2-seater. Back seats are pointless for me.

Here I thought I was the only one that thought about this...I originally wanted the G for about 4 years. For the mere fact that my girl has a 5 year old. I found a 350Z roadster I wanted, talked to her about only having two seats, and her response was simply, "we'll just take my car." So I went to get the black roadster. Which was beat. On the way back from not buying the roadster, I stopped at Gerald Nissan in Naperville, IL and they brought up an '06 DB touring model coupe. I was sold. The color combo isn't available in the G's. I'm satisfied. And if I ever have any other doubts about it, I down shift and it reminds me why I got this car. (oh and not to forget the attention this color receives! )

2 seats isn't bad, it's the trunk that kills me. I have to travel for work alot which means packing for two three weeks. I have to "creatively" fit my 2 suitcases in the trunk everytime at the expense of some scratches on the plastics.

Every thing has been pretty much said... So only thing i have to add is that, fun happens when your best friend is in the seat next to you shaking his head as the cop walks up, not when your best friend is in the back seat messing with his date...
