What the Hell @ 350Z

[VooDooXII]

I like the 350Z's interior...but I just read in Car & Driver that it doesn't have a glove box. At first, I thought..."What the hell? Maybe that center storage bin is the substitute."

Then I found this picture...

Looks like there's something there...

So...owners...glovebox: Yes or no. :thinking:

I think the import question here is this: If you want comfort/convenience/storage space why don't you buy a damn minivan?

Honestly, I have no doubt that the 350z is a great handling/performing car but it's def the most awkward and uncomfortable thing i have ever driven.

[Frög]

nope no glove box.. there is storeage behind the seats..

[OneSlow5pt0]

now thats just dumb

A glove box is just a common sense thing...

So what's that thing that I see under the dash on the passenger side. Looks like a handle...

[OneSlow5pt0]

mite as well take out the seatbelts

[Frög]

ya.. i thought the same.. where would i put my insurance card and owners manual?

Theres a storage compartment in the engine bay.

[OneSlow5pt0]

trunk..good way to get the cop to go for his gun,lol

[VooDooXII]

Center-stack has a storage space...see that big blank spot?

And again...what's that piece under the dash?

ashtray maybe??

[VooDooXII]

An ashtray over there? Could very well be...but what a location.

Damn...and I thought it was weird that the GTO's trunk-release button was in the glove-box.

[OneSlow5pt0]

or cup holder,camaros have them down there..surpised me

[VooDooXII]

Have you seen the 6-series cupholder?

Saabs are fun to watch...so are the new 911's.

:eek: what the hell were they thinking?!?:screwy:

[VooDooXII]

It's not even clearly marked...it's just this little black stub. Those Australians... :no:

Toyota's 4Runner's no better either. I read in Car & Driver about how they complained about the "ridiculous placement of the fuel-release door."

My friend and I tried to find it in the 4Runner at the Auto Show...took us like ten minutes. The shit is under the steering column. I'd expect the bonnet release to be there.

[The Youngn]

so before you leave the dealership....do they show you where it is or do they just leave you to find it yourself??

[VooDooXII]

Psh...I'd make it a point to know a car 100% inside and out before I buy it.

When I test drove the GTO though...I asked to see the trunk. The guy knew where it was.

Speaking of which...the GTO has just enough trunk room. It's pretty damn small...

[Frög]

Center-stack has a storage space...see that big blank spot?

And again...what's that piece under the dash?

:no: thats were my GPS goes.. i hate that storage spot.. anyway, as i said before, there is storage compartments behind the seats..

[VooDooXII]

Yea, I saw that. That's mad inconvenient for pull-overs though.

"Let me just reach back here..."

[OneSlow5pt0]

:no: thats were my GPS goes.. i hate that storage spot.. anyway, as i said before, there is storage compartments behind the seats..

my RX-7 had them,but still had a glove box...so dont know what thier trying to do over there at nissan

[sleepys4]

The small thing you see on the passenger front dash is an ashtray kinda. Small as shit, big enough to fit a lighter thats about it. And the compartments behind the seats is about the dumbest shit since HalfBaked's last post.* where ever that may be*.

[VooDooXII]

I think the idea of behind-the-seat storage is very clever...but it's absolutely stupid if it's used as a substitute for a glove-box.

[Ronv350z]

hahahahaha you guys are funny! the thing you see on the passenger side is a cup holder you push it and it comes out. (useless really) glove box it behind the passenger seat. If you want convenience then get the G35 coupe.

[Fr33way]

Who cares?

[VooDooXII]

I was curious.

[The Youngn]

at least someone with a Z finally came in and told us what it was.

Agreed.

We had one at the lot for a few weeks. I drove it a few times, and if you've seen the Top gear review of it, Clarkson is exactly right.

It's noisy and awkward.

[1SICKLEX]

I don't think the S2000 has one either. Its a sports car so I can overlook that.

what you see there is actually a cushion pad thing for your leg. they came standard on 05+ 350z's. mine is an 04 and has nothing there. there is a big compartment behind the passenger's seat which is actually bigger than any glove box, just not very easy to get to while you're driving. on Touring/track models, there is a subwoofer behind the driver's seat.

[SpeedMonkey]

ooops.. yes thats a cup holder. lol. and is non existant in the 07 350zs.

[SpeedMonkey]

the 350z is not an awkward car to drive, but its drivetrain is a bit noisy. its stock clutch is actually pretty beefy and tends to chatter alot. the gearbox (just like in most true sport cars) is clicky and notchy.

[iloveboost]

The S2000 has a center compartment to fit a few items. You can easily fit a nice-sized handgun, insurance card, lug key, insurance card, etc. There's also a seperate compartment between the upper part of the top of the seats also.

Imagine getting pulled over in a 350Z w/ a passenger. That would be annoying and suck... especially if it's raining, lol.

[IndianStig]

My prelude has the smallest glove box ever but I have that huge rear-center storage.

The 350z is awkward to sit in, but I love all the sounds. The S2000 is actually comfortable to me, the only gripe I have is the not so good sound-system, but its okay, the car sounds like sex.

[iEvo]

the gove box is behind the pass seat. its pretty big and its lockable also

[Ltdnismorace]

hell boys, my jetta doesn't have a glovebox so nissan wasn't the first to make a dumbass move.

Your Jetta or all mk3 Jettas?

[Kyle]

I think 350z interiors are a dissapointment. The car looks real nice on the outside, has a nice engine, but the interior just seems really cheap for a $28K+ car. The cloth seats and the leather seats look strange and cheap, and the cheap plastic used throughout the car don't do it for me.

[VooDooXII]

I like the styling of the interior...everything just looks really dull.
