^yeah I totally agree, but my girlfriend just bought a 2007 Honda Pilot Truck 3 weeks ago so we take the out when its family time. On the other hand, since Im stil young, I still want to enjoy my life and get a coupe but also making sure that I can take my daughter out with me everywhere I go, thats why I settled with the G35.

I've only seen us use the back seat once for people, and that was 5 years ago when we bought it. Everybody wanted to go for a ride, so all 4 people piled in. The fun, first drive only lasted 15 minutes. haha.

Now I use it as an excuse to not drive when my friends and I go out since only one other person fits.

This is the obvious reason I have been holding Google since 2005.

It's just not meant for normal adults to sit in...
well, it's for insurance purposes. without those "seats", it will be a 2 seater coupe, and you can see your insurance sky rocket

I am gonna be honest with u man I have a sc430 and lets just say this if u want to be confortable when u drive and your passenger u can't fit anyone in the back trut me. That picture up there they post is when the convertable is down and u might be able to fit one person in. Lets just say this if u can manage to fit 4 people in ther u are gonna f up your leather in the back and its gonna be a very unconfortable ride ever in your life

This thread is six years old. He probably figured it out by now.

By the way, did you repaint your car form red to black? In the last picture it's red, in the rest of them it's black

When my kids were 4 and 6 it worked pretty well for short trips around town. But now at 7 and 9 it is nearly impossible. We just started letting out 9 year old sit up front for short trips. No longer a family vehicle. I almost waited for a Camaro Convertible we thought this car was much better.
