Coupe good for traveling?

I used to want to do traveling in my Z but there just wasn't room and it was a weekend car/ fun drive car to me. Will the G35 coupe be good for traveling and not too small?

I took a 500+ mile roundtrip drive in my G and actually really enjoyed it. For any more than 2 people, it'd be miserable, but I didn't get uncomfortable at all.

I drive 660 miles 2 times every semester from waco texas to kansas city kansas to go home, and i LOVE the drive, but i agree, more than 2 people and youre TOAST. These seats are the most comfortable seats ive ever ridden in (that hug you at all...) never get soar at all.

Oh ya if I went on a trip I wouldn't bring anymore then 1 other person along, that's why I'm getting the coupe so I can't haul people around

I daily drive my G 30 miles to work, and have driven it (with race tire trailer in tow!!!) to various tracks, including Hastings, NE, abut 400 miles from where I live, with enough luggage for my wife and I to make a long weekend of it. Two people fit fine, and there is enough trunk space as well, but anyone in the back seats would be uncomfortable after about 1 hour or so.

I am one of the few members on here that drives a LOT. I average about 50K miles a year sooo you can imagine. I always have plenty of room and the ride is nice, just open the sunroof and you are ready to roll! Plenty of storage in the back. I can put my golf clubs, shoes and a couple back packs in the trunk without a problem.

So far i have no complaints im sure if you drive around with 4 people though that it will get a little cramped, but i have driven long distances with 4 people in the car and it hasn't been a problem.
