Well . First Z4 is expensive to maintain once your out of warranty. The Z4 has a very rough ride. I have driven one more than once, a friend had one and to be honest I did not like the Z4 that much. The Z4 loses value much faster than the 350Z. I know this because when my buddy traded his in he got less than what blue book showed and it was at the same dealership he purchased it at. So my recommendation is for the 350Z preferably the Grand Touring, in black, with 6 spd.

Well unless he is tracking it, I still, from my experience, prefer the 350Z. IMO, I dont like the styling of the Z4 either.

my fathers GF has a Z4 and after driving it i was felt let down, I like them, now granted here was the lesser 2.5 no the M edition but it felt so slow, and settering was wierd, it feels like you are setting on the rear axle, much more set back feeling than driving a 240Z, but if I were gonna get a convertible, I'd get the S2k
