I find I like the idea of a convertible more than I like driving in one...

That said, if Nissan builds a PRHT Z35 I'd be into it -- loved the look of the G37 they made with that. Best of both worlds :tup:

I was wondering why is the roadster is quieter as I drove one the other day.
The ride is much softer and less road noise.
I always thought the reverse would be the scenario.

But I still love my coupe. I hated the rear trunk lid of the roadster looks like its been sliced of prematurely.

All of this plus the roadster trunk is miserable compared to coupe and no room for spare. Only tire goo.
Don't know where you got that from. In my roadster I have a spare tire plus a full size tour golf bag in the trunk. There's a space under the floor in the trunk actually that has space for the tire, a compressor, patch kit and a few dozen golf balls.



It's pretty simple really. You are either a roadster/convertible guy or you aren't. It's like being a motorcycle, RV or boat guy. When the car is moving and it's at least 40 degrees outside, my top is always down. If its 75 degrees with no humidity and you think to yourself "today would be a great day to own a convertible," You aren't a convertible guy. This is my 4th convertible in a row over the last 20 years and my next sports car will also be a convertible, either a Boxter S, Corvette or new Z.

I agree completely! I would like to be able to switch between AT and MT and Coupe vs. Roadster.
They definitely look better in person but you can't lock it because they'll cut the top....here in O'Town you have to keep the roaches in mind all the time......

Maybe with the refreshed Z? But the tour of the vert I received at the dealer a few years back. It had a can of goo. They claimed a tire didn't fit. If they made it happen for vert guys... More power to y'all. :tiphat:
