I hate to say it guys...

TypeOne · 12-02-2010, 10:25 PM

but I'm thinking of trading my Z in.

I've had the car about a month and I have already been thinking about what else is out there. I'm not going to take anything away from the Z, I love the way it drives, I love how it sounds and it is such a sexy looking car...

BUT

DAMN it's small. I knew what I was getting myself into, but I totally under estimated the size when living with it on a day to day basis. I'm not a small guy, 6'3" 235lbs and it's kind of annoying getting in and out of the car, you can't put anything in it and it doesn't have back seats.

Again... I totally knew and accepted this when I bought the car, but I guess you'll always want what you can't have... right?

Is it just me? Is it buyers remorse? Am I crazy?

To make matters worse, I'm looking at an 09 STi to replace it with which is what was next in line before I bought this car.

I don't know what to do...!

wheee! · 12-02-2010, 10:32 PM

Wow... I can honestly say I have no clue how you feel. I love my Z more every day....

Treadmill?

TypeOne · 12-02-2010, 10:38 PM

How many of you use this as your only car? And my weight, doesn't necessarily mean fat...

"Is it just me? Is it buyers remorse? Am I crazy?"

Yep, that be it.

zmyride · 12-02-2010, 10:39 PM

Would you feel regretful if it were a Porsche 911? because its even smaller than a 370Z. And I haven't heard a single owner complain that the 911 is too small.

wheee! · 12-02-2010, 10:40 PM

Definitely not my only car, but I wish I could drive it everyday!!!

I've got no interest at all in owning a Porsche 911.

ThoriumHotdog · 12-02-2010, 10:42 PM

TypeOne, I'm about your size but the 370z will be enormous compared to my current car.

Trust me... I've had my fair share of small cars. I've had a CRX, Del Sol...

I don't really think it is the room for me.. that isn't really a problem. It is much better than a Miata, S2000 or a Lotus...

I think it is a lack of room for anything else is what gets me. But then again... it's not made to haul **** around so it's not the cars fault.

fairladyZ34 · 12-02-2010, 10:44 PM

im 6'3 and 210 lbs. i found it comfortable to drive in, however i do have a second car. If your looking at STIs, the new ones look really nice, 4-door widebodies...

TypeOne · 12-02-2010, 10:46 PM

Yea, like I said... it's not really room for me. It's just space to put stuff I guess... maybe a little harder to live with on a daily basis than I originally thought. Everyone I talked to said it as small.. but I didn't listen. LOL

I can relate to that. I had to jam two bumpers for a Prelude into my car and drive them to a bodyshop.

I'm glad I have a little Nissan truck to do that now.

Ahh.... time to sleep now... heads been all messed up thinking about what to do.

I guess I'l sleep on it. All of the hours at work have got me thinking crazy.

Three7D · 12-02-2010, 10:57 PM

I don't regret buying my Z at all, I'm only 5'9 160lbs and I find it to be a LIL annoying getting in and out of it, but it is also my DD for the time being, I'm sure it'll go away once I get a commuter? As far as comfort i love being in it!!!
