I found that the Z coupe is just plain more pleasant and practical as an everyday driver - especially if you like to travel. At 6'2" and 178 lbs, I'm very comfortable in my Z3C after a full day on the road. My wife and I did an over-200 mile tour with VSCCA last spring on twisty paved tertiary roads along the Delaware River, and we felt great at the end of the day.
