The BMW Z4 looks amazing, and the cabin oozes class. It's great to drive, with strong engines, capable handling and a supple ride. There isn't much space in the boot when you've got the roof down, and an Audi TT is more fun to drive.

I know exactly how you feel - I feel the same about my old Renault Megane coupe (also my first car)...I don't care that it isn't the greatest car on the road; it's mine, and I bought it with money I earned.

so which roadster would you choose for this kind of money? the price is relatively high, but the performance (excluding the more expensive boxster) and the quality are top in its class (no reliability issues on current BMW's and the interior is awesome)

No. The three pedals would be gas, brake, and clutch.

In that case, then everyone driving a Ferrari 458 Italia should stop with their lunacy and all purchase Nissan GT-Rs right? Wrong. Because no one care's if it's a second faster to 60mph or can achieve over 200mph, you'll probably never push it past 120 anyway. It's the badge.

in europe the nissan costs €41 and the z4 €49 which is not that huge of a difference especially if you also consider that the bmw will hold its value better. and the nissan's interior is very cheap looking plus personally i really dont like the looks of the 370z.
