^+1 and the Z's steering is so tight you really have to take a 90 degree turn to get the wheel to the blinker engagement point for it to click off when the wheel comes back straight

I think the airbags are the most useless part of the Z. Don't wreck and you don't need them, . Why is this thread back from 03 by the way? What is it with people bringing 5 year old threads back from the dead?

I would say the most useless thing for me is the pads on the side of the center console. And I don't get all the complaints on the cup holder, it works fine for me, granted I don't eat or drink in my car, sometimes I have to transport food back to work to eat, and it has held a large drink from Whataburger just fine.

Oakley half jackets are by no means big sunglasses, and they don't even start to fit. This and the cupholders suck, energy drink cans tip over in the one on the dash because it isn't deep enough, and the other ones are a PITA to use since they're so far back.

Agreed. Only time I may look at it is if I have something else up on the digital.

70 mph isnt fast at all. Thats the speed limit on the highway over here.

Come at me when youre hitting 115 cruising.... jk yeah it's happened to me too. Even scarier when you start to hit the middle turtle thingys

the brakes.

nah probably the navi cover, and i am sure that has been mentioned before. any time someone gets in my car they say OOOOO what does this do and i flip out on them because only a Z owner knows how to operate that damned thing.

MY Oakley Half Jackets fit fine, but my M-Frames and Minutes don't; I use it to store my insurance card and vehicle registration, along with my apartment gate card, so is not so much of a waste as the two cupholders on the back cubby hole. The compartment behind the passenger seat is big, but I have little use for it, except to store my CDs, which is a real pain to get into, specially when driving...

OK, let's see what else? Oh, the anchor point for a child's safety seat... OK, show of hands; how many of you have a safety seat on their Zs? Now, common sense would dictate that whoever has kids and owns a Z usually has a second car, in which to tote their kids around... One that is usually littered with baby bottles, cheetos, cookie crumbs and the like...

I dunno about you guys (and gals), but that's about the most oxymoron thing to put on a Z.

There would be, but this thread is about what's pointless... not what you hate.

My half jackets fit, you just have to turn them upside-down with the nose piece toward you.
