does having only 2 seats get in the way of anything

I'm seriously considering buying the 2011 370z and it bothers me that it only has two seats, does this inhibit anything or is it worth it?

It's worth having an excuse to not let people bum rides off of you

Seriously though I have no issue with it.

Just depends on your situation. I live alone, so there's rarely a passenger anyway.

well, it'll be a big difference from you current listed ride, that's for sure. If a two seater is potentially a problem, then odds are if you're thinking that way, it will be a problem. Just get a second daily driver that's practical.

As for whether it's worth it? That can't be answered for you by people on a forum. It depends on your particular lifestyle.
/\ nonsense, I'm perfectly fine with telling this complete stranger what to do. Remember, FL 4Motion knows best.

This is more of a question for yourself. Can you handle not fitting bigger things into your car/not dragging around the children. The Z can handle a lot of stuff in certain situations. I fit myself and three other people in my car when my friends needed someone to come get them from the club. If you cannot handle having limited space and still want something sporty check out the Mustang or Evo, I will not mention that god forsaken chevy :/
Me personally I love having only two seats, usually don't have to worry about your car becoming a taxi

If you don't already have kids or don't want any, it's a great excuse to hold off!

I went to get my friend from a club in Orlando, when I got there I found out his buddy and guys gf needed a ride too. Friend passes out in the back and the other two sat in passenger seat. It wasn't safe at all but it was 4 in the morning and I was not going to make two trips. I was just pointing out that the z isn't very spacious but can be made to work if the situation presents itself.

Gets in the way of the lameness associated with driving a sedan

If you live by yourself then you will have no worries. If you have a family then it will be a problem. As you already know it's a 2 seater, so don't plan on hauling any furniture's or anything big.

It's actually pretty spacious, well for me at least. The 350z had very limited space with the stabilizer bar in the middle but the 370 has enough room to fit a good amount of junk.
