BMW Z4 COUPE (2006-2009)
We Say...
BMW's odd Z4 roadster gets a coupe brother and although you can fit multiple golf bags at the back, there's still only space for 2. The price hike for the metal roof is high, but at least it offers all weather protection and additional rigidity compared to the roadster. That said, the Z4 Coupe is uncompromising in terms of performance--but you'll wish for a much softer ride.
Odd...but we like it.
Very pricey, and shouts "middle age".
