Should I keep my Z?

I had to laugh at this comment, because matches just what I was thinking. If you want small, go for an S2000. If you want *that* to feel roomy, try a Miata on for size...

I'm not at all trying to criticize - that really sucks that the car isn't working for you. I'm just representing the other end of the spectrum. To me, getting out of a 2200 lb. MR-2, this car is roomy, luxurious, and silent . After my first test drive, I was worried it didn't feel as connected or sporty as I wanted. And man, it feels to me like it tracks straight no matter what - the MR2 with track tires was a handful.

I also understand that cars are like shoes - some just aren't designed for you. I sat in S2000s, Miatas, WRX (can't do the pedal position) RX8s, 911s, and Caymans, sometimes multiple times for each car, to figure out what would work best for me. I say give it a little more time - you'll probably get used to the wandering wheels and some of the other sports car things, to the point where you might miss them if you ever get in a luxo-barge. If it still doesn't work, there's no shame in it not working, just a financial bummer. But car ownership is just generally about throwing good money after bad, no matter how you slice it ; ). Good luck!
