The 911 is really a 2 seater - you ever tried to sit in the back of one? As for the Z4, TT and Merc - to me they are the modern equivalent of the Capri. This quote from Evo rather sums things up "BMW’s second stab at it was an altogether softer machine. Again, not a bad car, but not an overtly sporting one either, even in range-topping sDrive35iS guise. No, this was a machine that was aimed at the TT and SLC rather than the Boxster, and as a drop-top cruiser it was a fine piece of kit provided you didn’t ask too many questions of its chassis. "
Would you take one to your hill climb or sprint race?
As my kids quite happily sat in the back of my 911s they were definatly 4 seaters, as transport back from the pub its acceptable. Each newer generation has got bigger & more practical in the back.
Your quote for the Z4 mentions it was "BMWs second stab at it" - the second generation was a folding hardtop, the current 3rd generation is a soft top & a completely different drive.
No I wouldn't take a Z4 on a hill climb, but then I wouldn't take my Morgan either.
