2nd owner of 2010 Roadster!

emotionr · 05-28-2013, 01:33 PM

Hello everyone,

I stumbled on a 1-owner 2010 roadster Touring + Sport Auto, just yesterday.

I traded in my Honda 2011 Fit, for it.

Extremely low miles, like a new car.
6k on it, 2010 and, am the 2nd owner.
Fully loaded with navigation for $29k

White pearl and, yes... even though I was not really looking for an auto.
This one was really nice after the test drive.

This would also, be my first non honda vehicle and, V6.

I have owned Integra(s), Civic and S2000 in the past but now... I am proud to say, I own a Z, maybe a GTR someday (wishful thinking).

Since this is a roadster, I wanted to see what I would have to look out for and what cleaner/condition to use on the top?

I can't remember the brand I used when I had my S2000 but, maybe you guys/gals can assist me.

Welcome! Quite a big step Fit --> Z

Thank you and, I agree... even my insurance jumped big.
Oh my~ As for cleaner/proctant. I used raggtop in the past.
Any other suggestions, or Z specifics to be aware?

I hear or read a lot about the top issues or alignment.
Having a 2010, is it a recall/defect that I Can go do before it goes out?
TSB articles, etc...? any tweaks or secrets to the GPS system?

First...that seems like a VERY good deal you've made...esp with navi in the vehicle. Well done.

I'm applying 303 protectant (303® Fabric Convertible Top Kit) on mine. I have a Boxster owner at work and he swears by RaggTop as well. Both seem to market UV protection as well as beading of water. I'm pretty sure you're not going to lose with either one.

Again, great deal on your car.
