It's between this and an S2K. I think these look a lot less girly.

If you're 5ft high and don't reverse often then go for it

Rather the Z4 too. I think they look awesome and the S2K is starting to look dated.

Are they small then?

Going to test drive a few soonish but basically that one is what i'm looking for as in colour, wheels etc...

Tempted to hold off until the winter when they will be cheaper.

I found it very cramped and with the top up I remember reversing wasn't too great.

Think that applies to alot of Cabs, as my old mans Mk4 Astra Cab is horrible to reverse.

True. I'm just not a big convertible fan I suppose.

For the price you're probably going to pay for that, you could get a few year old M3. Would be my choice.

Its not too bad space wise inside, once your in its a nice place to be.
Reversing is not to bad, mine has the rear parking sensors so its alot easier, just get used to the bonnet length.

Rather have one than a S2K, plus i think its still one of the less "girly" convertibles available.

Mines for sale too!

Can you give a reason? As it might be something I hadn't thought of

I just prefer the way it looks, I've never liked the Z4, the S2000 is a very good looking car though, IMO.

Z4 All day long!

S200 is not a bad cr at all but the BMW with its silky stright 6 and much nicer interior and usual BMW driving dynamics does it for me. Also the BMW will be worth more in a couple of years time too

S2000 for me too. I like that silver one above but would also rather have the hardtop version.
