My DD for the past years and I love Zoe to death still.
Seen all the seasons.
Not my fault if my friends don't have cars rofl.
Fit em in the trunk!
And also all these things your thinking of right now is something you should've thought about before buying it as your daily driver...
If you do trade in you lost couple thousands already!
Good luck!

09 STI and remove the front seats. Gives you more room inside.

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...!

The car is what it is. Not designed really for trips to Home Depot, but that's why we keep around an old F150. We can't take the dogs with us on road trips, but to me that's a plus.
My 370 is my primary DD (I split time with it and my 240) and I have no problems with its interior space. I am 6'5" and 220 lbs. It is enormous compared to my 240z, but with a little less legroom.
I would try to get used to it if it were me in your place, if for no other reason than it's a Z and probably the best one Nissan/Datsun has ever put on the street. Cars like STi's, although cool in their own right, are dime a dozen.
This has been my pre-workday 2 cents.

Test drive fail? Impulse buy? Buying it over what you really wanted? OR Nothing can satisfy you in life.

TypeOne · 12-03-2010, 09:56 AM

Thanks for the input guys... I think I'll hold off on making brass decesions anytime soon and let the car grow on me more. I don't want to get rid of it, but as someone mentioned, having options right now is fun.

I think that whatever I chose, will be based off the fact that I need more room for other things. The car as it is... And what it is built for... Is fantastic.

TypeOne · 12-03-2010, 09:58 AM

I looked into buying a Z for months... But maybe my "want" was put a little ahead of the practicality sense.

I'll admit it. I don't regret buying the car... Not at all.

Why not just buy a cheap beater and use that as your DD. That solves the room issue instantly and probably save you much more money than trading your car in.

You don't want sellers remorse. I had a 350Z and sold it cuz I felt it was too small and not enough power. Got a vette which solved the not enough power bit and its a little bigger in the cargo area but then got rid of that. Bad choices. I should have kept the 350 or the vette and just bought a truck or something. That would of hauled anything around.

Then decide if you can live without it. I have gone three weeks now without being able to drive my Z and I have already chewed my left arm off to the shoulder... typing with one hand sucks.

i agree, but in my case not for the 370z. I have sellers remorse about selling my supercharged cobalt..lol. I loved that 4 banger, so much fun to work on.

TypeOne · 12-03-2010, 11:59 AM

It's not going anywhere...

Now I feel ashamed that I thought about leaving it...

I'm not worthy!
