2010 BMW Z4

2010 BMW Z4 Overview

Reviewers report that the 2010 BMW Z4 is the total package. It's sexy, luxurious, and sporty enough to wow most drivers. "While some premium roadster drivers are serious about power, handling and feel, a good many are more interested in style and fresh-air fun," writes Kelley Blue Book. "In a segment that includes the Porsche Boxster, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Audi TT, no car can appeal to both camps more so than the latest Z4. Inside, outside and underneath, the Z4 has the makings of one of the all-time great roadsters."

Still, the 2010 BMW Z4 isn't perfect. Critics complain that the Z4 lacks adequate cargo room and its steering system feels numb. As a whole, however, the 2010 BMW Z4 leaves reviewers nothing short of satisfied.

Other Sports Cars to Consider

If you're in the market for luxury sports roadster, be sure to test drive the class-leading 2010 Porsche Boxster. It costs roughly the same as the 2010 BMW Z4, but is a much more capable sports performer and offers loads of more cargo room -- which enhances its practicality. Just note that while the 2010 BMW Z4's standard hardtop is retractable, the Boxster's is optional and must be manually removed.
