you got to be careful backing out due to the blind spots, the front is too tall and you could hit things, and you could grind the rims.

best left to the weekend for a nice long cruise...

********. only crap drivers have those problems no offense.

I can see just fine out the back. I have no problems with the front

and you could grind pretty much every rim on any car

If these are your problems driving the Z as a DD, you would have similar problems with any car.

PEBSWAS (problem exists between steering wheel and seat)


My Z is my DD and I love it. My only negative is I can't use it for family trips. If there was enough room to shove 3 or 4 suitcases and 2 dogs in the back, I would use this car for *everything*.

Man what have you driven before this, the mega window car from back in the day, what was that the Pacer? Its an easy car to drive,a djust the mirrors and seats right and all is good. You do have to turn your head when turning and changing lanes, I think some people forget that and think the mirror is the tell all. This isnt going to be a classic car so I dont see babying it like one, so drive it and enjoy it. When its done get another car.

I recommend the box from Nissan, you should get that.
