To buy or not to buy

I have 2 SUV's and was looking for a summer toy. I bought a Mercedes Benz SLK 350 for my wife as a suprise Christmas gift this year. The wife liked the looks of the SLK Hard top convertible and it was quiet inside. She did not like the drive. I brought her home a SLK 550, Cayman, Boxter, ect..the list goes on. At the end of the day, she selected the the 370Z roadster which I like as well. Its a fine daily driver with all the electronics to keep her happy, nav, bluetooth, ect. There is some road noise but I talk on the speaker phone and people tell me it sounds better than in my Yukon, so it must not be that bad. I have not overheating issues, and can see just fine. For a couple hundred dollars, you can add a rear view camera for backing into tight places. I will install my camera next week so the wife can tuck it into a small 3rd car garage backing in at night. The car is comfortable with all the amenities and priced right! Do a search for top 10 affordable sports cars and you will see that the 370Z ranks #1. Thats saying something. I am happy with the purchase and haven;t seen very many others on the road. I will drive it as much as she does and will put it out on Mid-Ohio race track this summer. Buy it, you will like it! Hope this helps
