Default Do Women buy Roadsters?

I've spotted a few 350z roadsters around town and most have woman drivers. Do women prefer roadsters or is it just coincidence on my part? Is the roadster a chic car?

Around my location I see nearly all women driving roadsters. I still don't think it's a chics car tho. The Z's stance and aggressive looks keep it masculine looking.

Since you brought it up - yes, I do see a higher percentage of women driving roadsters than coupes. Hell, even my wife jokes about buying a roadster as her next car.

Around here in Palm Springs I've only seen a few girls driving the Roadster, almost all the girls I know drive Honda Civics or Accords, seems there more practical with there vehicle choice then guys are...

That said, I've had a lot of female friends wanting to drive my roadster so girls do like it, just don't think they want to spend $40k of there own money on one..

I think that mostly women like to have the wind in their hair as they drive. I personally think that convertibles are more a chick thing than for the guys. Although a "roadster" to me says hot, fast, cool, mean...etc. Almost a Harley like feel and look.

"Harley like" - oh please.

350Z roadster drivers drive great sports cars.

Every pot-bellied wannabe and fat redneck with tattoos does the Harley thing these days. It's a pathetic parade of cliche weenies that scream, "look at me, spank me, I'm an uncomfortable yuppie in leathers".

350Z Roadsters are a whole different thing - way more cool and centered . . .

Ah Yeah.....and Bush is a good president !

Any way you look at it its still a "convertible"

Think how you will, my only point is that to me a convertible is something to let your hair down to blow around. A Roadster is a Pavement burner...like a Shelby Cobra.

Roadster Rules and they are chick magnets!!!!!!!!!!!

In So Cali, you see as many girls driving coupes as guys.

In my opinion, you have a sense of taste and know value if you drive a Z whether its a coupe or roadster.

Yeah I'll take my roadster top up over the "majority" of the coupes on this site. There's probably only a dozen or so coupe's on this forum that I'll admit take the cake.

here in hawaii, mostly all the roadsters that Ive seen on the road are driving by women in their late 30's early 40's.
