2. Door edges: The door edge which is a bit sharp from the trim sticks out a bit from the window edge. Has it ever cause any issues when you accidently scraped yourself?
3. Accessing behind the seat: I know that I'm not buy the Z for storage but on the models I've checked out there doesn't seem to be a quick way to access the little nook behind the seat for storage. Is the leaning into the car and across the seat to reach the power seats the only way?
4. Rear view - How do you find the visibility out the back? I noticed because of the slope it seems quite limited.
Any advice on the above would be great. Thanks!

I don't own a Z, but I can tell you that if you drop something behind the seat it is a PAIN IN THE ***! I was at the dealership one morning on my way home from work when my scissors fell out of my scrub-top pocket (yes, I need to secure my gear better, I now do). Well, it took 2 of us and about 5 minutes to get them back.
Other than that, which is very likely ignorance on how to get stuff since I don't own one, I never scraped myself or anything of the sort during my test drives/rides.

Oh come off it. It's not an Enzo.

The C pillar plus the purely cosmetic little back window makes for a fairly big blind spot. Good luck!

The worst thing I have to say about the Z in this regard is when I drove it I did notice some hellacious blind-spots.
