At the track, I hope.

And typically, yes.

I guess my question is if the Nissan 370z is worth giving up the backseats

To me it was, but I'm lucky enough to have a dad that has too many crew cab trucks that rarely get used. Like this weekend for instance, I'm going to vegas (~3.5 hour drive from SoCal) and I'm gonna borrow one of his silverados to fit everybody. If I didn't have the option to borrow I would've bought a G37 or IS350, which were the two other vehicles I was looking at before I bought the Z.

I would go with the G. There's no doubt you will love the Z, but it seems like you will soon regret or tire of it when you need the backseat or trunk after a few times.

You bring up a great point. If I wanna go with a group of people it would be impossible so it's not very practical. I'm trying to find a car closer to 35k though. Thanks for bringing me back to earth lol and congrats on goin to Vegas YEAH BUDDY.

What about the Nissan Altima Coupe is that any good? I hear the CVT's transmissions suck because they accelerate real slow once you get fast. idk how to drive manual now but would manual be good?

You're going severely off track now. Altima? I just had a 2012 Altima as a rental from the dealership. Having put 400 miles on it on wide open highways in the desert (trip to AZ

), I have to say it's a real unstable car past 75mph. It's erratic. All over the lane. But yes it'll hold all your friends.

I want a car that i can tune up so I was wondering. The 370z is amazing but even if it had the smallest backseat in the world i'd be very happy.

Just sold my Altima Coupe---used it as DD until my recent retirement. Don't need it any more but enjoyed it very much. CVT was fine. Very sensible car and totally trouble free. Not a sports car but a nice, comfortable sporty car for sure. Incidentally, it was very easy to sell---first guy who saw it grabbed it! Now my 370Z is my DD. Very different car but quite wonderful.

I was thinkin about a 4 seater just to fit my friends but someone made me realize it aint about how many people i can fit but about what i want im so excited to own a z my only last decision is black or black cherry

I can tell you that you won't be able to fit 4-5 people in a Z lol.

I've seen 4 people in a CRX so it's possible.
