I ask this because if I purchased the Z, it would be my only car, so I want to know if it has enough space to be somewhat convenient. Thanks Guys!
I bought the G35 because it DID have a backseat, so I may not have the best advice for the 2 seat Z. I must say that the backseat has come in handy on more than one occasion in the last 2 months since I got it, but after driving trucks and vans all my life, I must say there is not a lot I can buy at Costco. There will never be much room for big stuff, and you will always be borrowing a car from someone else to get bigger items. I love the car though. I like having something quick and sporty, and every now and again I catch someone looking over at the car and get a little swell of pride. As for practical? I am getting pretty shitty mileage. Right now I'm averaging 18 or so. That's less than the sticker said. I try to keep my foot out of it, but maybe that's just me. So,..for increasing gas costs, no it's not practical. For hauling things or people around, no it's not practical. Is it fun to have and drive? Yes. Am I glad I bought it? Yes.
