Anyone find their Z a burden? For example: high monthly payments, insurance, can't afford gas, two seaters, can't afford repairs, cabin space, excessive noise, unwanted attention, complaints from significant other

Is your Z a burden to you?
Anyone find their Z a burden?
For example: high monthly payments, insurance, can't afford gas, two seaters, can't afford repairs, cabin space, excessive noise, unwanted attention, complaints from significant other etc etc. I don't have any problems with my car, but I can imagine the Z can be a burden for some. Especially if he/she uses it as a DD. |

never found my Z to be a burden when i had it, but in my situation im single and my friends have their own cars they can drive if they want to get somewhere and as far as the road noise, etc. that never bothered me with my Z as it was 10x quieter than the chevy cobalt that i had before it and a hell of alot more fun to drive

Two seats are great, esp at the office as I don't have to haul people to lunch or pickup visitors. |

I love my Z as a DD! If anyone find the car annoying because they can't afford payments,gas or service its not the cars fault they bought a car they can't afford. I purchased my Z right after we got our son a car since I no longer has to be a sports taxi and I love not driving a SUV!

a sports car is meant to be driven and enjoyed. if it's a burden then you should have bought something else that fits your needs/budget

As a dd all these things don't bother me; noise, gas, cabin space, attention(only at times) etc. But I've been trying to get away from the mod virus but I'm already felling a little sick Also, I don't the Z is a burden for the OP, he was just asking if anybody did |

A lot of the problems you mention seem to be common for people who spend more than they can afford. You should evaluate all of these elements prior to purchase.

The only person I can think of who might answer yes on this forum would be JungleZ. He hates his Z and gets banned regularly for being excessively vocal about it on the forum. You can ignore him if he posts here
