Bendrews Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Hi all, another NEWBIE here Im currently looking at two cars a coupe GT 07 (Black) & a roadster GT 06 (Blue) the roadster has got all the media player stuff inside but it all looks kinda crap in my opinion, the coupe has the bose system which is ok but im guessing i can just change that using one the guides posted in here somewhere? (think i found it once ) anyway which one would you recommend ? Bendrews Quote
elfman Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Personally i think the roadsters look like big for KA's and for that reason i'd say coupe! Media equipment can be easily changed i wouldnt judge the cars jsut on those two things. Quote
HaydnH Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I love my 07 HR Roadster, think if I had the choice between and 06 Roadster or 07 coupe with HR engine (assuming it's the later 07 revision) I'd go with the HR engine. Quote
Stroudy Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Depends on cash and asthetics I guess. Is the coupe a 300 or 313bhp?? Is there much of a price difference?? My 2007 GT coupe (300) with Nismo exhaust is just about perfect. Interior is of much higher quality and has xenons and led rear lights. Roadster looks like an egg with the roof up imo, but i guess its just personal choice Quote
NeilMH Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Even though I have a Roadster, I do appreciate that the looks are an acquired taste. It does look much better with the roof down IMHO. The main reason I went for one is just the added emotional/sensory experience that I feel for some reason and that unlike many roadsters, not to much has been sacrificed in terms of rigidity to achieve that. It also seemed a logical progression from the Elise/Caterhams I had before. I could just have easily have bought a Coupe, it was just as much to do with the right specific car with the right history, condition etc. The media equipment was not a factor for me at all, others are better qualified to talk about that. The main noise I was interested in was the one coming from the engine. I have never been able to hear a radio before! Quote
SteveM Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 depends what your buying it for? for me the Z is a weekend toy, fun in the sun and something special for now and again use so it had to be a roadster as when that roof is down but if its a daily driver... i guess i would still have gone for the roadster but i can see more of a reason to have the coupe. at the end of the day its your choice and its gonna be whichever one you prefer Quote
Ekona Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Surely it comes down to one very simple question: Do you want to take the roof down or not? If yes, then get the ragtop. If not, then get the coupe. Everything else can be changed (or if you want the HR engine just buy a later car), so that's the only question you need to answer. Quote
martinmac Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Roadster with the roof up.. Roadster with the roof down... Quote
Zugara Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 the roadster has got all the media player stuff inside but it all looks kinda crap in my opinion Well, you have answered yourself with your question. Quote
glrnet Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 +1 the roadster has got all the media player stuff inside but it all looks kinda crap in my opinion Well, you have answered yourself with your question. Quote
bodyboarder Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Coupe ..... HR ...... 57 plate....... silver....... pistonheads..... all you could ever want Oh ya its mine too Quote
Bendrews Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Well I just bought the coupe. Price wise both were around 13k and had similar mileage bout 18k. The xeonon lights are much better on the coupe and I love the way the car drives ! I gotta agree with a roadster lookin like a Ford ka I will get a pic up 2moro for you guys ... And I'm not sure which bhp it is as the dealer doesn't really know ...... Quote
bodyboarder Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 For £13k from a dealer im pretty sure it will be a 300bhp not a HR 313 bhp, but still a great engine Nice one Quote
Zugara Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Roadster looking like a ford KA Man you need your eyes tested...... For a start, the badge is different. Quote
