I heard the Z is practically, ONLY good for showing off the ride, and just cruising, and that's it. It doesn't have space in the trunk to put luggage in if I were to pick a friend up at the airport. It doesn't have the space in the trunk to put a golf set in there, is this all true?

Open suitcase
Dump contents into hatch area
Close suitcase
Leave suitcase in parking garage
Drive off

The z is the most impractical car you can buy. If your concerns are $$$, gas, and trunk space, and cheap mods. You will be very unhappy. In the other hand the z is one of those cars you can park next to a Porsche or Ferrari, and it wont look out of place. I would rather have a 500hp Z than a stock Porsche.

Actually, there is factory installed sticker in the hatch area with a diagram showing how to stow TWO sets of golf clubs.

I considered several other possibilities before I bought the Z. A Honda Civic was NOT one of them!

That's why you pick them up in the other car, and take them around town in the Z.

Lol. Well seeing my parents' '04 Mercedez E320 get about $50-55 for full gas tank Premium 91, I don't think Z will be as much, so it's kind of a relief (OR IS IT MORE?!?!). Well when I go see the Z I will definately ask the dealer about trunk space, because I'd like to pick up my girl @ the airport with the Z instead of the E320...

Does coupes get leather? Or are they only for enthusiast, track, and GT?
What about power seats?

lemme tell you this: last year i put 3 girls in my car. 1 in the trunk and 2 in the passenger seat. i dropped them off to class and the stares coming from the 50 ppl at the bus stop was hilarious.

i have also fit a 6'4 bball player in my trunk, legs dangling at the shifter numerous times.

on another occasion i've also had a guy in my passenger seat and two girls on his lap (one girl's *** supported by my arm, making me shift with my left hand)

oh college life....

ps
i've fit two golf bags in my trunk no problem, i've picked up a few friends and fam members at the airport no problem.

20 gallon tank X $3 per gallon. You can probably do the math.
