Default 2 seater inconveniences

could you s2k owns tell me about the problems with having only 2 seats.
small trunk, blah blah dont bug me but having 2 seats seems like it
could cause alot of inconveiences. (i.e crusing with friend and ur SO ((significant other)) needs a ride)
things like this not being able to drive more than one person

is this a significant problem to anyone?

do occasions like this arise often?

im sure its plenty worth the inconvenience to own an s2k but i want to know ahead of time
if i will be dealing wit issues like this.

just rant about ur lack of extra seats, if s2k had some back seats and still looked as good as now it would be perfect. Only from a college students POV

From a college students POV, you should be happy that with 2 seats there is enough room for you and your gf/bf and you will never get sucked into being a taxi for all your other friends.

Yes only have two seats can be an incovenience at times, but I spend most of my time driving to and from work by myself so it doesn't bug me.

If you want to know ahead of time if you will be dealing with issues like this - look how many times you use the backseat now (if you drive some other sort of car), and make up your own mind.

I've gotta agree with what Matts said, it's usually not an inconvenience and I love not having to taxi people around. However in an "emergency" you can fit up to 5 people in the S.

hahahaha not quite sam, driver, passenger, one on each driver and passengers laps and one between the roll-hoops on top of the secret compartment. Not reccomended for anything more than very short trips ie. around campus however 3 or even 4 can be sqeezed in in case of a real emergency.

This mite seem selfish... but from a young professional's point of view, its awesome having 2 seats... whenever ppl are arguing on who's gonna be the DD for the night, you have permanent excuse... "Not me... I only got 2 seats!"

The rule also applies to road trips... hahah... the only people I ever have to drive is me and my gf... or me and a friend... so I am never inconvenienced by having only 2 seats

I'm sorry but this is a really dumb question. There are two seats. Anything you do now that requires more than 2 seats, you won't be able to do with the S. Simple as that...

Being a college student myself, its actually pretty good. You have room for your S.O. and you dont have to end up being a shuttle to everyone else.

my rule is 2 doors = 2 seats maximum. accessing rear seats w/ a coupe is a PITA bigtime imo. also not having to taxi = priceless!
