Like he said before with the roadster how many days do you think the top will be down. I had a 04 roadster i did love the look with the top down but i live in
Texas and i could only put the top down when temps were below 80 which was about only 20 times a year! to me wasn't worth the hassle.

It all depends on where you live and how much you like having the top down. I'm in Phoenix and am a bit surprised that you can't have the top down more in Texas. It's dryer here and is comfortable with the top down up to about 90 for me. If your willing to put on a coat most of the winter days are OK. So, 4 or 5 months out of the year will be too hot in the afternoons and another ten or twelve days will rain. That leaves over half the days. To be honest, though, I like having the top down more than most folks. Even a month ago when the highs were in the low 80's I rarely saw another top down on anything.

For what it's worth I owned several roadsters of various kinds over the years I was stuck in the cold damp climate of Seattle. They were perfect there because it was raining, actually more a weak dripping drizzle, almost every morning in the "summer" but would be nice in the afternoons. Nasty to ride the motorcycle to work unless you like to arrive wet, but the roadsters worked out fine. Top up in the morning on the way to work, top down on the way home. Sometimes you could even leave it down 2 or 3 days in a row, but that was rare.

Your right your post has a lot of good points. Ive' always liked the look of the 370z or even the 350 roadster. i had a 05 350 but here in Texas on the coast
it can get really humid. and 80 feels like 90 and 90 feels like 105! I would guess
out in Phoenix it would be more of a dry heat,if that makes sense. But up north
or even the northeast or out west the roadster would be a blast to own and drive.
