What Would You Buy (Survey)?

Robert_Nash · 06-16-2010, 03:16 PM

I really didn't anticipate that "fun" would be this complicated!

"Fun" just means it isn't an only vehicle...it means I don't "have" to use it for anything except what I want to use it for.

I may use it to go to the target range or I may use it to go to a cruise-in or I may use it to travel across country or to put it in a car show or an autocross or to hit the Tail of the Dragon and I may even use it to get to work now and then but it's only because I want to...it's all FUN!

BY THE WAY...
For those of you voting for the Touring Coupe; I'm wondering what issue/issues is pushing you in that direction specifically as opposed to the Roadster (which is currently in 2nd place)???

Less weight. More lateral stiffness.

I had a ’09 370Z with the sport package and traded up to the ’10 370ZR..............

i dont believe i have any issues with the roadster, but for me, coupe > roadster in most cars. I'm typically a fan of the benefits of having a hardtop vs the open top variants. the only convertibles i would purchase would be in hardtop convertible forms.

now if someone offered me a ferrari spyder i wouldn't turn it away....

I wouldn't either (or any other Ferrari that I can think of)!

If I could afford it, I'd gert the convertible. I have seen some on the road here in Melbourne and man they look sooooo goood. From what I have read they are very close to the driving feel of the coupe but with the added (imo) benefit of being a roadster.

My reasons for picking coupe over roadster is that the roadster is more expensive and more ugly!

So...if the roadster is "more ugly" doesn't that mean you think the coupe is also ugly, just not as ugly yet you bought a coupe anyway???

shadoquad · 06-16-2010, 04:00 PM

I voted roadster because of road feel. If performance was number 1 and you're tracking it, go for a coupe. But, personal preference, I like the road feel of a convertible better. You feel like you're going faster. You have better overall visibility. It also has its cons, as others have mentioned.

And of course my cheap arse bought a coupe, so take it fwiw

Can't we all just get along

Well, don't check into too much but I tend to be fairly easy to get along with.

I suppose I should be more cordial but I admit that I do tend to respond negatively when it seems as if l someone is going out of their way to irritate/insult or when they start trying to tell me how I should spend my money (after all, that's what wives are for isn't it???).

Touring.

I'd have got the roadster if it wasn't so damn fugly.

I'd have got the Nismo if I wanted cloth seats, an ugly ricey rear end and about 2 extra HP.

I'd have got an Infiniti if I were older and liked conservative looking cars with flat arses.

I need a little advice/opinions and thought this might be one way to get it.

Assumptions:

Vehicle would not be a daily driver/only vehicle (primary purpose is “FUN”; see more on that below)

I bought a 2010 NISMO, it is not a daily driver and it is a ton of fun. Plus the looks it gets are priceless.

If I had had this car in High School...
