I'd have probably gone for something like a used Audi RS4.

I can barely get my hockey bag in the Z to go to games (I actually have to sort of mash it under the hatch). The car is not really practical for being anything beyond a grocery getter.

18" wheels will clear. You can get a nice winter setup for around $1500. Figure it will last you 3-4 winters and that's a good deal.

I found my Z was fairly practical. I never had to haul any bulky stuff, the hatch is plenty big enough for a big trip to the grocery store, and if I ever needed to really haul something I could borrow my dads car. For a performance car the Z has really good fuel economy as well.
