    the fact that you sit right in front of the rear wheels means the car feels like it’s rotating around the driver

    Isn’t that the case for any roadster?

      What classifies a car as a roadster beyond being a convertible? I drive an R8, and I’ve driven the convertible, which absolutely didn’t drive like the Z4M. You sit too far forward for that, because the R8 Is more of a GT.

        There’s obviously a grey area, there’s no argueing that an MX-5 is a roadster by today’s standards. I drive an S2000 which is a roadster, an Audi TT convertible could be called a roadster. But as they get bigger, they become heavier and clunkier, and less of a roadstrr. I wouldn’t call an R8 or an F-type a roadster. They’re more of a sportscar, but I suppose that’s subjective.
