Do you think it's a problem that the Z has no backseats?

Twista · 10-01-2009, 05:43 PM

I look at it like since the Z is a two seater that means my car isnt the first or second option when going out to the clubs or parties with friends. It also means that I dont have to drive so I can get wasted.

z34 = 2 seater = true sports car = Real Talk

Hell no, its great. my friends always want me to drive my red cady(4x4) now it's like get your *** in your own car. i'm single no kids, dont need alot of room

If you think girls are going to be happy riding in the back of a small 2+2, you might be surprised

That being said, it just depends on what you want. The Z is a sports car, the G is a tourer.

If i only had one car I'd prob get the G. Not so much for the passenger space for me, but the storage space. I can't fit my dog in the Z, much less any large box. If this is your only car and you honestly like them both equally get the G. I kept my old car as my daily driver (was only worth like $6K anyway) and GREATLY prefer the look, handling and potential of the Z which I use just for myself or on dates. Don't regret the decision at all.

Agreed. Its easy to tell him get a Z when the guys saying it mainly have 2 cars.
Some people care bout there friends a lil more than others.
When he asked for the advice. His friends seemed to be a priority.
What I can say is this much.
I had a G35. The backseats came in handy when it came to me n my wife doin. Groceries or transporting large items. N people can fit in the back of my G for 30 min road trips. Its uncomfortable, but can be done.
I have an 08 altima 3.5se with a big a$$ trunk n 4doors. The Z having backseats or not won't affect me cuz I can switch rides with my wife if I needed a lot of space for some reason.

You can rant and rave its a sports car all day long as a reason to purchase the Z.
But if u find yourself needing room? U will be trading in a car and taking a loss somewhere between $4,000 n 9,000 depending on when n how u trade n how vested u were at purchase?

As nice as the Z is. If u need the space? GT cars are a Sh1tl0ad of fun too. N fast!
A matter of fact. GT's can be MORE FUN cuz they are not as precise n causes for some real entertaining driving.

granted that u do it safely n learn how to handle the power. Lol

Having a 370 as a daily driver is rough. Having a usable backseat definitely comes in handy even if you rarely have ppl back there. I decided not to buy a SL500 because it didn't have a backseat and purchased a CL500 instead. If the 370z was my only car I don't know if I would have chosen it. Then again the car is so great if I had trade in my Benz for it I would.

U-NVmyZ? · 10-01-2009, 07:54 PM

after owning a 350z, i am never ever ever everevrever going with a 4 seater+... with a 2 seater i feel closer to the car like its just me and her

molamann · 10-01-2009, 08:07 PM

I'll just say this, I haven't driven under the influence since I've bought my Z back in January for obvious reasons.

Trips · 10-01-2009, 08:15 PM

I have always owned a Z, so I don't mind no rear seats. That's what the wife's suv is for.

WooZ · 10-02-2009, 12:00 AM

No back seats in the Z won't bother me, but it sure sounds like it would bother you. Get the G dude.

Pheonix · 10-02-2009, 12:46 AM

I'm with the others; if you have to ask, you already know. Keep your existing 4 seater as a back-up, or go with the G.

JoeD · 10-02-2009, 02:29 AM

I think it would only be a problem if the Z became a two-seater spontaneously. However, I think more than half the people who buy 370Zs do so knowing that it only has two seats.

Nick911sc · 10-02-2009, 06:57 AM

omg guys, you have to help me. I just drove my 370z home from the dealership and someone stole my backseats!
