Ever wish you had back seats?

felt · 10-11-2010, 09:53 AM

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been in a position where you wish you had the back seats? I have a Mazdaspeed3 and maybe used the back seats 6 times in the 2 years I owned the car.....I'm getting a Z in a few weeks and the only doubt in my mind is having to use the back seats for whatever reason.

If I wanted back seats I wouldve kept my mazdaspeed3. I don't really like driving people around and cleaning after them, that is why I got a 2 seater.

The more seats you have the more people you will be expected to drive around. More people = more damage to your Z.

2 seater FTW!

There were only a few times with the Z where I really needed an extra seat or two, but it was never an issue. It is nice to have the capability to cram two people in the back of the Mustang, though.

I think if you've used your backseat only 6 times in the last 2 years, you won't miss it at all.

Good luck and hope to see pics of your Z soon!

No I do not want rear seats on my Z. I have another car to do utility stuff.

cab83_750 · 10-11-2010, 10:20 AM

Nope.

And hopefully, Nissan does not make a 2+2 370Z --- I remember the 280Z 2+2 and boy, they sure looked upgly.

m4a1mustang · 10-11-2010, 10:20 AM

Yeah, there's no need for a 2+2 Z! That's what the G37 is for.

Exactly right.

racerxj17 · 10-11-2010, 10:28 AM

this is whats making me consider trading in my Z....... i cant put enough "stuff" in it. beach, costco trip, more than 2 people, ect. financially, its tight right now as well.

been considering a scion XB. go ahead, laugh

m4a1mustang · 10-11-2010, 10:29 AM

Oh god... A Z to a Scion? C'mon... at least get something that's still kind of fast!

Like a Juke!

Red370 · 10-11-2010, 11:15 AM

Buy Felt's Mazdaspeed3. On paper it approximates an RX8, but with storage. You have the 370 he wants. Could be a match made in heaven.
With the Z, Extra passengers and storage such as Costco means using the little ladies car.

here was my situation, being in the military, I leave alot on training exercises, which means lugging alot of gear around. I also have alot of coworkers that need rides from time to time and I kinda felt like a dick every now and then for not being able to give them a ride. I decided i needed a back seat but didnt want to sacrifice performance so I got the 5.0, dont get a Scion man, you'll never be happy with it, get something with a little bit of juice so you dont regret getting rid of the Z as much, if you cant afford a Stang, check out a WRX, excellent cars for the money.

vipor · 10-11-2010, 11:19 AM

I don't!!

Before my Z I had a POS Dodge Spirit. You can fit up to 7 ppl in it, 5 comfortably-ish. I was always the taxi. Now I still drive a lot, but that's just because I want to be on my own schedule.

Plus you don't need a backseat. Having sex in the passenger seat works just fine.
