If you need any kind of trunk space, the F-type is out. I can't figure out what is taking up all the room. A previous model Z4 with a hard top as more room.
Agree the F-type is beautiful, and sound great. Especially the 8cyl one. It's also the one of the few that isn't drive by wire, and you can get a manual with. Electronics are way out of date. A lot of complaints about that I've read. The F's also depreciate way faster than the BMW (never thought that was possible.). Dealer had a 2 year old v8 F-type with 8k miles for $60k. Was $110k new. Was sold before I could test drive it.
