The only thing your supposed to put in the Z is a hot chick in the passenger seat.

I do agree that using the Z as your primary grocery getter isn't easy... but that's why I have a Jeep and the Z.

Jeep and Z combo here as well. Good team! Although it feels so weird to go back to the jeep up so high and automatic

I feel just right in the Z, anything bigger inside will feel like a waste of space in a sports car.

Nitrouz · 12-02-2010, 11:44 PM

I test drove the STi last week just to see what the hype was about. pedal to the metal, corners, and I almost fell asleep... Last straw was looking at the bland interior. 5 minutes was too much...can't imagine having to live with that. That was just me tho.

You're not too big for it. You don't want to haul stuff around. You just don't like the car and are looking for reasons you don't. Well...you don't. Get what you want. Life is short.

BennytheBlade · 12-03-2010, 01:15 AM

Zs aren't for everyone. One of the things I like about the z is that I can go a week w/o seeing another one.

As for space... I don't expect my Honda fit to be able to go 140 mph and corner lik e demon, and I don't expect the z to be able to take the dog and the wife on a trip.

It's a purpose built car.

I know a guy who wanted a Z but felt bad as he was your size. You're not alone.

To me, the Z feels more like a cockpit. Although it could be spacious, the internals wraps you around. The bar even takes space, the various foam surrounding the tire didn't help either, the spare could have been a collapsible one.....but no!

Yes, it doesNt allow a lot of groceries. But heck, that's what sports car are all about.

Get what you want. Don't feel bad.

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...!

im 6'4 and 245. I drive it almost everyday now. Reason I got the z is for looks and great performance. I have no kids but also engaged. If you have kids sure why not get something bigger but I see it as this 4 doors means more people in your car. 2 doors less people more fun. Enjoy it while you have it boost it modify the car. Somewere down the line your gonna need a 4 door then get the STI. A couple of weekends ago I almost bought an evo mr. Life is short man enjoy it cuz 2tm is never promised

kensin0429 · 12-03-2010, 03:12 AM

i have a RX7FD , and the space inside is 60~70% smaller then my 40thZ.
im 6.1 200pounds.. the FD fits me well... the Z just makes it more better.

MB370Z · 12-03-2010, 06:00 AM

or you could just get another car as a daily driver. Its a good thing I'm 5'5 160. I have to sit up and look over them huge *** mirrors when I'm at stop signs to see other cars. Some hot chick at the other stop sign saw me doing this and laughed as she drove off....

feels bad man

And says you can't fit anything into the Z? I climbed from the inside of the hatch into the drivers seat and back out through the hatch

This was before I knew how to reprogram the windows

ClemsonWill · 12-03-2010, 07:38 AM

I would really spend some time thinking about this. You have only had the car a month so you are probably going to lose your a$$ on a trade in (depending on what you got it for). As someone else mentioned you might be better off getting a DD. I have an old civic that I drive every day. It's good on gas, easy to maintain, and has plenty of room.

m4a1mustang · 12-03-2010, 08:05 AM

I felt like the Z worked pretty well as a DD. Ingress and egress may not be the easiest compared to a sedan but once you're in it's spacious and comfortable (that's what she said). The hatch is also pretty spacious so I never had issues with grocery shopping. I even went and bought a vacuum cleaner and it fit.
