The guys on this forum seem very friendly and knowledgable so I feel I have a place to go for questions and answers once I purchase my Z. As for the G37, I was looking at those too but I just don't like the way they look. The backseat didn't really strike me as a reason for purchasing it either. I also would definetely not put a baby in a G37. Keep it in your Altima if you have one! Make wise decisans with your girlfriend and good luck on your deployment. Enjoy the states and have a beer for me haha. America is the greatest!

will do thanks for the imput.

I do put a beach towel down to protect against stains and the child seat from wearing on my seats. Just get the 370 so you dont have to see one later in life and say "I had the opportunity to buy one of those back in the day"

lol yea old man sindrome haha

I'm 22 years old and I once thought I was going to get married and have kids with my ex. Didn't happen...Moral of the story? get the Z

McFrostyJ · 07-29-2011, 01:05 AM

Z now. You are serving our country, you deserve the Z!

takjak2 · 07-29-2011, 07:51 AM

Z

Have fun on deployment, don't let your girl spend all of your hazard pay.

TypeOne · 07-29-2011, 12:26 PM

I hated my Z as a daily like... a month after I got it. I thought about selling it or trading it in.

BUT

I stuck with it and now I can't think of another car that I want more.

Z FTW

tjlazer · 07-29-2011, 12:53 PM

I have a kid and I was facing the same decision and decided I liked the 370Z better than the G37S. But I know what you mean, there are times I wished I had some back seats. Though my son is now 5'8" at 12 lol so he might be getting too big for the back seat.

I say get the 370 and if and when you have a kid you can always trade it in for a 4 seater.

Carno · 07-29-2011, 01:12 PM

My advice is to use two forms of birth control. You're 22 dude, take no chances on getting her pregnant.

Oh yeah and definitely get the Z.

4r3s · 07-29-2011, 03:38 PM

You're 22, get the Z.

RCZ · 07-29-2011, 03:43 PM

Z all the way. The G is for punks.

oops.

kenchan · 07-29-2011, 03:53 PM

coupes + infant carrier = big PITA.
coupes + child seats with 5point harness = PITA
coupes + booster seats =

i speak from experience.

xjx · 07-29-2011, 03:54 PM

I used to drive a truck. Id carry my daughter and wifes bikes to the park, help people move, etc. Im no longer a family man. Im not going to haul people or thier junk around anymore. This car is for me. Thats all. If someone needs a truck...go rent one.

sboden · 07-29-2011, 03:58 PM

I've had the G Coupe and I had a young kid and it really wasn't that bad. The G was my DD. I've also had another 2 seater with 3 kids as a DD. It just takes some planning. If I was with the kids then I took my wife's car and she drove my car. We are now doing this again with my Z. You would be surprised what a wife will let you do to a car when she knows she gets to drive it occassionally. It is not a big deal and I think the Z is fine as a DD. I have not tried snow yet but I survived with my other sports cars. You just have to have a proper mindset and correct tires when driving.

DjFromVA · 07-29-2011, 05:43 PM

word thanks for all the imput everyone.

TWYNBYZ · 07-30-2011, 12:38 PM

I have kids and owned a G37. Between the child seats, diaper bag, stroller and other crap, you'll be wishing you got the 370. As others have stated, get the 370 and use the other car for the kid hauler. Lastly, your scaring me with all this prego talk. Your only 22, not married and have your whole life ahead of you. I know you probably love your girl to death and that's great. Just make sure your financially capable to support the child and married first. Don't make the same mistake that many young adults in this country make and have a baby and aren't prepared.

Just my .02 and thank you for your service.
