But realistically, 99% of us are using our Zs on a daily or nearly daily basis IMO and so for a DD I think the Z will blow away the cayman. Its comfortable when you need it to be, sporty when you need it to be, and that retractable hardtop that add unwanted weight on the track is a massive blessing when used in daily driving conditions. Z4 is the clear winner by far IMO!
Disagree on hard roof - in my view thats a pure marketing move to compete with rivals. Its purely a conceptual and cosmetic advantage, but in practice I don't find a soft roof an issue ever and certainly has no obvious real disadvantage to a hard roof. In my view it just adds weight and decreases storage. And the Z4 Roadster is meant to be driven top down. In the UK you can do that whenever its not raining! (which is more occasions than you might think!
