In your case OP a child needing a ride, I would get at least something with 4 doors. Just saying.
great advise.

from my experience, as long as the kid can buckle him/herself to the seat, a 2door would work. i speak from experience with my G35C.

things are fine on a sunny day. but in the rain, if you have to stand out there with the door open to buckle your kid into the rear seat in your coupe, that door could potentially short out from all the rain water.

that's when i stopped using my G as dd.

but then my kids can now buckle themselves, so i use my G as my summer time dd. i have a hatch for winter and bad weather.

I plan on at least keeping my Z till I die. Just can't part with my Post-Iraq Deployment present to myself

I have tried thinking about passing it down to my kids (if I have any), but the image of her totalled/broke down/in poor condition/sold just angers me
