2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
It was a two seater, and I enjoy driving with people around. see full Nissan 350Z / 370Z review |
2008 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
very cramped, not designed for very long rides. Not for tall people. see full Nissan 350Z / 370Z review |

I am 6 foot tall, and there is plenty of head and leg room in the driving position. Easy access as well. see full Toyota Highlander review |
2010 | 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of room in the second row, including seats that recline and move back & forth. Having the third row as an option for occasional use was really the deciding factor. see full Toyota Highlander review |

3rd row seats are useless to me. Too little room for adults. Should have been an option for families with small children. With 3rd row seating, you lose storage space. see full Toyota Highlander review |
