2 seats really that bad?

threefiddy · 04-10-2009, 01:31 AM

Hey guys, long time lurker but I'm deciding on a new car for myself and yes i know you've prob read this like a million times but im torn between the 335i e92 and the 370z. As of now, I really like the 370z and I feel like it will be a sportier car. My only problem and the only reason I'm not jumping on the 370z is the fact that it has 2 seats. Now I have a friend who has a 350z and says its a pain and keeps telling me to get the 335i but what does he know ( got 18 inch time attacks with no drop and a stock bumper and doesn't plan on modding anymore <- lol). Yea I know it's based on my personal life but I'm asking the general public if it's worth passing over the 370z because it's limited to 2 seats. Most of the times, I just drive my girl around but I mean i'm in college and 2+ ppl in my car is pretty common at times. How do you guys cope with the 2 seats?

So far it has not been an issue for me. If more than 1 person wants to go where I am going they better use their own car, or curl up in the hatch, lol.

Hey it gets you out of bein the driver to ride with them, less gas money you spend! You have to look at the positives here! Oh and you asked how I cope, I kept my old four door wrx hehe

threefiddy · 04-10-2009, 02:50 AM

Ah man I'm already getting depressed lol cuz I LOVE to drive around and with the 370z I'm prob going to lock myself in the car for a couple of days. Also being a college student, having another car on top of the 370z is pretty much outta the question. Gas isn't really an issue since I have a gas card. I was lookin at a g37 but damn..that's one ugly car. Ruined the 35 lineage.

crbn_fbr · 04-10-2009, 02:59 AM

originally with me if i only had one car and it was just a two seater, it might be a no for me. or so i thought. but i think i changed my mind on that. after getting the z, and if i didnt keep my four door, i still would have done it. like import111 said if you have more than one passenger, they had better find their own ride!

Forrest · 04-10-2009, 03:39 AM

Ok my 2 friends they both say i have a 2 seater car becuase i dont have any friends and they laugh that sh*t up like crazy.

But its so great when you are ruled out of any scenario of whos gonna drive us where and when becuase everybody knows you only have 2 seats. Nobody blames you for having a 2 seater car also.

Obviously i am gonna say get it and forget the other people, but im driving a z and im biased.

Asheth · 04-10-2009, 04:01 AM

I don't have my Z yet but I do have a 03 Eclipse Spyder and I am 6'1 so if somebody sits behind me I have to move the seat up and it looks like I am humping the steering wheel so I stopped doing it. When I think about most I ever have is 3 people in the car and most of the time only me and 1 other.

So backseats are good for extra storage I guess but buy the car for you not your friends. They arent gonna help you with payments.

Think of it as a bra: You can only fit two.

SiXK · 04-10-2009, 06:44 AM

I would get it. you are a college student, you don't need a back seat. later on when you get married just let your wife get a car with a back seat, thats what I do.

Whow ! I suggest for you the BMW.

When I purchased the car I didn't count the number of seats it had, I knew it came with 1 and that was more than sufficient.

But then again, I sure didn't buy the car to be concerned as to how much additional weight I could fit into it either.

ChrisSlicks · 04-10-2009, 09:25 AM

If your just into cruising around the 335i is a plenty nice car, and very peppy.

The 370Z is a sports car, a completely different animal. Sure some people are just going to buy it and cruise around but really this car is at it's happiest when it's being tossed into corners.

msl82 · 04-10-2009, 09:49 AM

I am single, I used to have Acura Tsx and 98% of the time I never needed back seat. Now I have 370z, and I love every second of it.

And when I get married, I am keeping my Z as weekend car and use my wife's car for everyday/beater. LOL

3SeventyZ · 04-10-2009, 10:54 AM

I don't mind it at all.
Everyone I know drives so it doesn't really matter too much.
I kinda enjoy only having one seat tho.
Less people to drive around.

Forumite · 04-10-2009, 11:02 AM

I love the fact that mine only has 2 seats in it. Especially on Fridays when we go out to lunch at work, I'm no longer the one who has to drive everyone.
