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

TXSpeedDemon · 10-01-2009, 08:25 PM

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.

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.

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

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

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

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, 01:46 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, 03:29 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, 07:57 AM

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

MeetJoeAsian · 10-02-2009, 09:29 AM

When I had a 350Z, I was able to pick up 2 girls (they were friends), and they both hopped in and one sat on the other's lap...I guess it just depends on your taste. If you like big thick women, then you have to get a bigger car...the 2 girls I picked up were both about 5' tall and weighed probably around 90-100lbs....

have you filed a report...you have to do it within 24 hours...

Nick911sc · 10-02-2009, 09:42 AM

Yea but the dealership told me it was supposed to be like that...I mean wtf? A sports car with only 2 seats? What's next..it's gonna be noisy too? Who would want a noisy sports car?! :-P

Montez · 10-02-2009, 03:00 PM

Yeah in your case it may be, sounds as if the G coupe is for you and your lifestyle. I have my Z and I kept my 03 Max SE for when I need space, which I love driving as well. My girl has G Sedan, we are VQ junkies.......

datsunguy · 10-02-2009, 05:43 PM

I've always had a Vette, ZX, or even an ascMcLaren which was a 2 seater mustang back in the 80's. So it was always my choice to have a sports car and something else older with more seats to drive when needed.

When Nissan stopped making 300ZXs. I needed to my trade my 100,000 mile 92 300ZX in on a new car so I thought I'd try a new Maxima and go with one car. It wasn't bad but when it was time to trade that in Nissan was back with the 350z so I'm back with my old plan for good as long as Nissan keeps making Z's. There is an up close personal feeling to a two seater that you just can't duplicate.

This a general statement and I'm not counting the ugly 4 seater ZX's (never liked um) and Porsche 911's with their baby jump seats (i'd be crazy not to consider this a sports car)

I like the response if you're asking you need the G.

G37Sam · 10-02-2009, 07:50 PM

Well here's the thing, I do have 4 seats but only use them when I feel like, otherwise I throw the "my car will rub excuse" or simply the more straight forward one "get the fck in your own car"

If you have kids however and need to use the back seats, that's a different story, maybe you should look into a sedan for more convinience.
