do you have 4 or 5 seats in the car you have now? How much do you use the back seat? That should answer your question.

Just go to the dealership and look inside one. This will answer your question about the space it has. For what it is I find the Z very spacious.

I almost never miss having backseats. The Z isn't my grocery-getter and ever since I got it, I haven't been forced to be the driver while carpooling.

The only times I've missed having 5 seats while driving the Z were when I had to pick 2 girls up since their cars were in use.

If you find yourself actually using the back seats in your car more than once or twice a week, you could always consider a g37 coupe. It's heavier, but quite a few people I know prefer it's lines to the Z's and its interior is better.

I'm also curious on how easy it would be to fit someone in the trunk. Been to scared of breaking something to try.

Yeah, it's great! When my wife's with me, there's no room for my kids! :p

Bothers is a bad word to describe it, and I'm about to move to a bigger college, no kids either so I'm not really think a lot of problems with it are presenting. I'm glad to know that I have a third seat in the trunk if I really need it

Actually have 8 seats in my car...

Yes. It inhibits hitchhikers!

i've also heard the z is pretty noisy in the cabin is that true and is it agitating or something thats blown out of proportion

If you have a Z, good idea to have a second car... I tried getting groceries and stuff in the Z, it sucks.

I can't say I really miss the back seat. Kind of a dbag move, but I never have to drive my car when I go out with friends. The "sorry, my car only seats 2" excuse works 90% of the time. You can fit a lot in this car, but it does require some strategy. People have been able to fit an entire set of golf clubs in the trunk. One fit a bike in there and I've personally fit a set of tires in the car (2 in the back, 2 in the passanger seat, covered of course). Road noise is noticeable at first when you're actively listening for it, but after a while, you really don't notice it much. Only sure way to find out if the Z fits your needs is to go for a test drive.

Yes, it does, it does inhibit your mother in-law(if you have one) to get in. LOL

On the topic, are you single? Will this be your only car and what are you driving now??

This is my 2nd roadster and I have no problem with the space, I go to costco with it.

I drove 4-seaters all through highschool and college, but they were worthless 4-seats, like F-bodies and mustangs.

I never missed a functional back-seat.

Personally I always hated back seats, so if u can afford to keep your suburban than you'll love this car. :tiphat:

Cabin noise isn't that big of an issue, especially if you like the sound of engines or listen to music.

The only thing I can't do without a back seat is climb in back and fool around with my wife. If that's on the agenda, then we'll take the super crew F150...or just get out and find a park bench somewhere.

Between me and my gf, the car has served anything her 4 door can do, other than driving around more than us of course. But for anyone short of someone who has a family, it's served for everything, even getting groceries. I drive a 2 door sports car now because i know i won't be able to do it forever.
