A&Q about 350Z
Q:



Hi,

How do you guys manage with the 350z as a daily driver? Do you feel that a third seat in the back could have been a plus especially if you have a family? Does that bother you a bit? Your feedback please.

Thanks

Well I drive a 2 seater and I wouldn't have it any other way. Its a sports car, back seats are for sedans!

YOU or you and a friend on a curvy road is what this car is about, not you and your family, pets, lumber from the hardware store etc.....thats for the daily driver. For me that means I drive my 2005 Kia Sportage AWD when needed, on good weather days, without any commitments, the Z gets the workout. I had (still have) a AWD Talon that was well looked after for 13 years (hand washed even in winter) and it still looks pretty good! Still, with that said, stuff happens to a car as a daily driver no matter how careful you are or how far out of the way you try to park it.....In short, I'm not willing to subject the z to other peoples mistakes or parking lot vandalism. For that reason I have an every day looking car that draws little or no attention. The two car aproach works best for me.

I think you get the picture.

Drive the Altima when you need back seats. The Zee is a SPORTSCAR!

A third seat in the back? WTF are you talking about? Mine's my daily driver, and it does fine. If I wanted a "family" driver, I would have bought something else.
