Not to bash on the roadsters, but even if I could get both cars for the same price I'd prefer the hardtop.

I just think the room line is what makes the Z look good. Anyone agree?

 

to me the convertable in the back seemed similar to a GEO convertable. I was disappointed in the styling of it.

 

with the top down the roadster is pretty damn sweet looking

 

I think you hit it right on the money. The roadster is a beautiful car, but it looks a little "squashed" with the top up.

 

hardtop all the way

With the convert you lose the sweeping tail that makes the car look like it is going 100mph when it is just parked. The convert with the top up or down, just looks like it has a box as a rear end. To me, the coupe is just sexier and makes it look original.

PS> No hard feelings, I still will always let a convert pull in front of me, she's still family of course.

 

Hardtop looks the best.
Roadster with the top down looks good.
Roadster with the top up looks awkward.

My $0.02

 

YES

 

Roadster with the top down looks better in my opinion, DAMN SEXY

Coup looks a LOT better than the roadster with the top UP.

 

ZR with the top down looks good. ZR with the top up looks awful IMO. The coupe looks great.

 

Back of ZR with top down kind of reminds me of Carrera GT.. A bit of a stretch .. but if you look hard enough.. =)

Hardtop nicer IMHO for sure.

 

The Z just has a gorgeous roofline - that's why many prefer it to the G. Although the convertible is a great looking car, the absence of that trademark roofline and the high sills make it look less appealing to me.

THere is more headroom in the coupe.............just kidding.

I'm tall, and I thought that there was just too much wind hitting my face in the roadster.

 

I like both. I am more of a Covertible sportscar buff. If the Coupe had a targa or sunroof, I would go with it. Convertibles are more maintience later on since the top will fade and possibly leak.

I may end up going with a coupe since it is 5000.00 cheaper of which I can spend on Nismo equipment . Still deciding. I have about three years since I am in a lease w/ Infiniti.

 

I just want to add also, the only thing discorging me on the convertible is that it is 5000. more with no headliner and the top is not black it is an "off black" color.

 

To the "T", I am the same way. Top down you cant beat the roadster, looks awesome. but with the top up, it can defiantely do better on style. looks too boxy in the rear with the top up.

even if the price was the same I would definately get the hardtop cause mine is my daily driver. but if i had the cash and a seperate car to drive in winter and rain, i think i might go for the roadie. that way i would never have it out in public without the top down.

 

I wish nissan made a hard top-convert (dunno the right word for it) LIke how mercedes has hard tops that fold into a convertable...i think it would look much better. But yea top down the car looks hot but i still like the coupe lines better...

 

I like them both

 

No offense, but I don't like the roadster's huge rear. It's definitely not as sexy as the coupe, and with the top up I don't like it at all.

 

hardtop looks way better than the roadster, top up or down. In fact every car ever made looks better with a hardtop. Not to mention verts are slower, heavier, and a lot less safe.
