Pretty good review of the Roadster.

Well, I can think of a reason to prefer the coupe over the convertible: Seattle's famously rainy weather!

I can only imagine the number of leaks that would be sprung if I bought a convertible while livin' up here.

Do modern convertibles leak? I thought this was a 60's thing???

Thanks for the post. I'm getting soooo excited and I drive an 08 Vette Convertible, go figure. I would like to mention cowl shake. The reviews of the 370Z Roadster indicate scant to no cowl shake. My Vette has noticible cowl shake over bumps, which irritates me very much.

Regarding leaks, it rains an awful lot here in Florida and none of the convertilbes that I have owned (03 SC430, 05 S2000, 03 M3, 08 Vette) have never leaked.

Did I mention, I am looking forward to my droptop Z? LOL Now, what color?!?! Hummm...
