I disagree:

2013 Nissan 370Z Roadster Touring

I like that he starts out with saying that he doesn't like convertibles...

I try not to pay too much attention to these reviews cause it seems to be hard to find one that's nice to the 370. I'm right around 6' or just a little over and have never felt uncomfortable in my roadster.

The owner of my company has a new convertible Camaro and she has had all types of issues. I think it's been in the shop more than she's been able to drive it. The current problem is something about the trunk deck getting damaged due to a malfunction with the top operation.

Yes, totally unbiased review right?

Ugh, the Camaro was on the bottom of my vert choice list. Too bad she's having issues but she's not alone.

At least he almost compliments the coupe at the end.

Honestly guys I had the 2010 Roadster in Red, it was unique fast and hot, course it had a couple upgrades but would get looks from everyone.

It died on me and that's the only reason I got the deal on the coupe.

Would I want the roadster back vs the coupe? hell ya, the driving experience is way better in the roadster vs the coupe. Do I want a mustang, i drove like 3 including the convertible which was comfy but like a bus.

That being the said, the tester took the worst color imo review wise and does have a couple valid points being the price went up a bit right (with no change?)

I don't mind that color combo too much, but he is right about the way too high price point. I had my heart set on a 2013, but my head (and wallet) told me to go used. So far so good with my 2010 Platinum Graphite/Black roadster!

Same for me. It may seem dumb, but I didn't read a single review before I got mine. Actually, I didn't and still really don't care what the reviews said. I had a 04 350Z Roadster, and an 07 350Z Roadster that I modded quite a bit and loved both of them. I got a brief wild hair of responsibility and traded the 07 for a 10 Murano in 2010 knowing I wanted the 370Z. I wanted one since the first time I saw one. When the opportunity came along a couple of months ago to trade straight accross for one, the decision took all of 5 seconds for me. Now I feel like me again.

The only opinion I ever care about when buying a car is mine.

Everyone else can go fly a kite.
