Roadsters comparison test

[GTA45E]

I was never a fan of baby roadsters but if I had to choose i`d go with the Porsche.

Don't know how I missed this pole, but easily the Z4 for me.

 

[Sunny]

Z4 is easily the best looking, both outside and inside by a big margin, but if all the reports of it going soft is true, I will take the boxter.
Anyway my order: Boxster, Z4, 370Z, TTS, SLK.

 

[Gullwing]

I think
Boxster
SLK
Z4
TTS




350Z

 

[M.Toni]

I know that I'm a MB fan but here I would choose the new Z4. SLK is a great car, driven it and it is has its own strong points but defenetly I would go for the new Z4. It has so much more presence on the road and also it looks much more aggresive. Porsche and Audi just look plain stupid with the roof up from the side profile - so does the BMW and this is the only strong point where in the design terms I like the SLK more.

1. Boxster
2. Z4
3. TTS
4. SLK
5. 350Z

I think the Porsche looks absolutely smashing. The new Z4 tops it in the interior department but that drab dirt color does nothing for an otherwise pleasing design. Boxster for me. Though I never see anyone but middle-aged gray haired men driving them... Then again I only see middle-aged women driving old Z4s so what does any of it really matter?

Funny thing, here in Stockholm both Boxsters and Z4:s are generally driven by younger men and women, 30's and early 40's.

 

[klier]

^ Yep, here too. 911 is for older people and the younger ones take the Boxter. Unless they are rich, they then obviously buy the 911 straight away Usually a white turbo cabrio or something like that.

Z4 II is not a baby roadster. But a grown up car only slightly smaller than an SL. The Z3 was a baby roadster and the first Z4 maybe to a lesser extend.

Z2 will be the new baby roadster.

 

[coolraoul]

I chose the Boxster. it's still the best looking of them all, even after all these years.
The SLK is not my taste at all, the TT is too bloated, the Z4 way too heavy (in pics at least).

 

[Bruce]

Boxster would be my choice. Although if I'm honest, I'm not a great fan of any of the vehicles shown here.

 

[Zafiro]

Yummy!!!

 

[Osnabrueck]

Style-wise, the Z4 takes it in a walk. The car is drop-dead, ridiculously gorgeous.

 

[Human]

Yummy!!!

GREAT PIC!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx Just Me.

Now that is why they say... The Powerful presence so caracteristic of a BMW!

 

[NarutoRamen]

^^That's sexy, of course I'd go with better rims though.

I've seen the new Z4 with various wheels now IRL and these are the best for Z4. 19" wheels and probably the most expensive ones for the Z4.

 

[Merc1]

Hard to choose....love the TTS and the Z4 is stunning too....then there is the SLK. Don't want a base Boxster, must be a Boxster S for me. Forget the ill-fitting, outdated Nissan.

Really? If these are the best, then I'd go straight to aftermarket.

 

[martinbo]

Saw my first Z4 in Italy. It is drop-dead gorgeous - more so in the metal. Pity it's so much heavier than the E85 and now completely distances itself from going toe-to-toe with the Boxster. I went for the Boxster in this case, purely from an enthusiast's point of view which saddens me as I really wanted the Z4 to shake up the establishment from a driver enjoyment perspective.

aftermarket isnt an option for me. I prefer "stock"
