Secret fun bargain

It was too expensive when new vs. the Miata but now it’s a great “sleeper” of a nice and reliable fun car. Sold my first at 165,000 miles. Loved it. Want another again as a second car.

I recently bought and certified this car. This is an ultimate driving machine. Not only does it run and feel like a roadster should, it comes with the looks and ladies too.

This is a fun vehicle. If you're looking for a top down driving with for 2 people, it's hard to beat this car. S2000 may come close but it doesn't have the comfort of Z3...

I've had the Z since 5/02 and have put 10K miles on it, driving in good weather only. It is drafty, noisy and uncomfortable. The sound system is boomy with the top up and muddy with it down. Buying a rear windscreen helped a lot. The M3 leather seats are too hot and too tight and it's hard to find a comfortable position. The plastic window is impossible to clean as are the premium wheels. It's hard to get in and out of. But... The paint quality is great; it really shines up. The torque is incredible; downshifts aren't required for highway passing. The 5 speed is smooth; the steering precise. The DSC helped me a few times. The car is just getting broken in. I'm gonna miss it.

I had Toyota spyer before this one. NO match. This is two class up. I have automatic. I wish I have manual shift. Some say about S2000 but it's not BMW. Everyone love the look around here (IDAHO!!!) With snow tire and DSC winter is no problem.
