From Coupe to Roadster

I got mine on Ebay. It came as advertised in less than a week. I believe I paid around $10 for the Vision carbon fiber version. It looks great --

Do you know if the coupe sport or Nismo spoiler will fit our car?

I don't believe either will fit. Both mount on the portion that rises on the hatch -- the part that our cars don't have.

Default Newbie here--old guy too

So, I live in Bend Oregon where I went skiing this morning and golf this afternoon. I have a Volvo C70 Hardtop Convertible but the Volvo dealer also sells Nissans and I drove a 370Z Coupe--pretty sweet car but I like convertibles. He had no Roadsters for me to look at. The Volvo is a 'sporty car' but certainly not the sports car of the 370Z. My Volvo has back seats so put luggage in there and in the trunk and actually take road trips in it. SO, how much room is there behind the seats?--my wife needs to put a knitting bag and maybe a cooler--she is not a convertible enthusiast so she needs to like the car. Hated a Vette I had once...

Also, I would want a MT (Volvo has stopped making the MT for model year 2011--can you believe it). So I need selling points to convince my wife that the 370Z would be perfect for us!!!!

First let me say Bend is a beautiful area. My son lived there until he moved to Eugene a year ago. There room behind the seats is really non existant. I store a baseball cap and an umbrella. Not much more room there. I can't see a cooler fitting there. My wife hates convertibles too but this is the 5th convertible I've owned and the first Z vert out of the 7 Z's I've had. Just take her for a test drive with the top down on the Bend Parkway.........it's not a Volvo.

Their is more than enough room for a knitting bag and a small cooler. Also some small storage compartments - but it IS a vert. I'm still pondering the fact that I'm gonna HAVE to learn to travel a little lighter...<grin>

A medium soft-side cooler (picnic size) will fit perfectly behind the seats. A hard-side one will probably not. The trunk is pretty roomy for a convertible, though (thanks for the ragtop, Nissan).

I've driven several verts and this one has as much storage and utility space as any I've owned. All my storage space is empty, however, because I've learned over the years not to carry anything. Ever.

Even though the convertible doesn't typically come with a spare, it still has the wheel shaped well under the trunk carpet. New it will be filled with a wheel shaped piece of foam with little cubbies for the portable air compressor and tire repair kit. You could take out that foam and use that area for additional storage.
