Do people complain in your Z4?
Seriously, Im ready to ban anyone from riding with me. All I hear is your car is too small, I cant move, why is it so bumpy? Your navi sucks. Blah blah. If you dont like it, take the god damned bus. Im not gonna go buy a seven passenger SUV so YOU can be fn comfortable

People who complain like that are usually either:
a) jealous b) older (usually family members, parents, etc.) The appropriate response for each: a) Tell them there's plenty of leg room on the sidewalk. b) just take it. Honestly, I don't know how anyone could complain about leg room. The cabin is very long for both passenger & driver. My wife can practically lie down. She does complain about the bumpiness though. She's not old, but she still falls under the 'b)' category. |

It's part of owner a sports car - people have been complaining about my cars for years. You'll get used to it. Or, offer to take your Yamaha instead.

not really. no. they're usually too frightened at the acceleration to complain.
Actually I have had it mentioned on occasion that the ride is a little rough, but its absolutely perfect to me, and I really wouldn't want it any softer. I live in a hilly area, and riding is cars with a more comfortable suspension actually make me a little car sick

Most people just understand what a sports car is supposed to be. Some guy from the Orlando paper did a review on a Viper ACR and he complained that it did not come with A/C! And that the ride was rather rough. It is a frikin race car, it is supposed to be that way!!!
So far, I have not had any complaints about my car. Most people want to ride with me at this point. |

The only people that have complained are guys that are over 6'. In that case, I simply suggest, "how 'bout we take your sports car". Either they step up or step OUT

Well, they're right about one thing - nav sucks sweaty donkey balls! But as for the rest of the stuff.. give 'em the bronx cheer, obviously they just don't understand what the car is all about.

The car is made for engaging the driver. It's not a lazy boy. Tell the ungrateful complainers that they can take the bus.

I'm particular about who I let ride in my Z. Don't want some doof messing it up. For general people hauling, I do use a 7 passanger SUV. The Z is mainly for ME!

Ugh, i cant tell you how bad the lower part of my door panel is scuffed up. I have light interior so its bad. What am I supposed to say? Get your fat ass to the gym and maybe you would have some grace getting into a car?

I always thell them that the car is made to drive, not to ride in and when I show them a small fraction of what the car can do they s**t in their pants and beg me to slow down, particularly in the twisty bits.

had a few people complain about the smallness of the car over all in being safe, but once inside they are impressed with the size of the interior, and the guy at Sam's club was surprised to see me put 8 cases of water in the trunk. For the others, i take them for a ride in the E55 and really scare the hell out of them since it gets to 120mph much faster than the Z4

I do get the "wow that car is small" comment sometimes, to think, I almost purchased a Lotus Exige!

Bring a helmet and when they step in, hand it to them and say "Wear This"! They then forget about the rest as they are to scared to even notice
Seriously, non-car people don't get cars and why you would drive a single purpose "go fast" car. Whatya gonna do
