I owned an '87 Mustang Convertible; it was nice -- but was demolished by someone who wasn't paying attention driving behind me, resulting in a good case of the whiplash. I digress.
It was fun, the cool factor was there, and I was younger. But after that, I noticed I longed for a more silent ride (which may not be as much of a factor now, given that they build them with better seals, I'd imagine), and more privacy in general. I tended to use it less and less.
Not to rain on your choice (no pun intended), but once was enough for me. So if it is your first, you may very well have a blast with it, and decide it is for you for this ride and future rides.
The first convertible you own (if it is your first) will no doubt be fun for you -- the novelty of it and all.
I'm strictly a solid top type now. The car in itself gives me enough pleasure in that I don't long for the added factor of open air. Sunroofs/Glass Tops are another way to go to give you that open air feeling, though it ain't no vert!
