Question coupe or roadster? 7AT good enough?

Hey folks,

I am thinking to get the 370Z here in Taiwan. I have a 997 turbo stick in the garage for pleasure. The Z will be my DD. We only have 7AT here. No test drives allowed. I wonder how in the real world does the 7AT acts? How is a touring really compare with a coupe. I always wanted an open top in my life but the climate here are just pure Air is bad and rains all the time. We have like 0.5% of convertible cars in the country. lol

1. 7AT, 0.5 sec gear change. It's not dual clutch. How in the real world when you drive it harsh? shift it up and down very quickly, is it slow? I had DSG before and I say that gearbox is near flawless.

2. I know coupe will be more practical, more rigidity, less weight, lines look better, and it is cheaper! But it will never provide the feeling and sensation you get from a roadster. Also speaking of the turn heads, uniqueness, etc. ( Taiwan only has roughly 25 370Z so it's very unique just to have a one

3. Is the Z a good car for daily usage? did you wish you have back seats?

4. How is the noise issue/rattle on the touring?

5. Why We get 328hp?

6. How does Z 7AT coupe compare with my old Cayman S? (tiptronic) gearbox is garbage.


Thanks!!!!

18", Bose, Navi, keyless, 7AT is what we get here.
