What would you pick?

 

"Everyone should own a convertible at least once in their life."

 

I just got a convertible cause I came across it while I was looking for a coupe. I would have been just as happy with the coupe. If you have never driven a convertible before, it's a pretty cool experience. Some people don't think the convertible looks as nice as the coupe, but I think it looks good. I think the top follows the lines of the car really nicely. It was definitely designed along with the coupe and was not just an after thought. It kind of depends on what you are going to do with the car. The convertible is definitely a cruising car. Whatever kind you get, I'm sure you're be happy with it.

 

This is the second 'vert I've owned in my life and still love it. The mustang 'vert is very quiet with top up and the wind and noise is cut somewhat with the top down compared to others i've driven.

The vert is definitely a cruiser. Great on nice days and warm enough in winter.

 

I love my 05 vert! It's my fun car, not daily driver. Can't beat topless on a warm summer evening. But, if it was going to be my daily driver in a northern state I'd of probably gone with the coupe. There easier to maintain in wet winters.

 

I'll play the opposite view. I prefer the coupe and here's why:

Usually have better lines (This is completely subjective)
Less wind noise
Better rollover protection
A stronger structure and better torsional rigidity without having to resort to a heavier frame
More security, someone can't just cut the top to get what they want

Not too mention the cost savings you can use for mods...or at least that's my plan

 

+1 on all of those, Plus I always seem to find that I like the verts better with their tops down. Here in NJ you really can't do that, so for the small amount of time I would have the top down every year it isn;t worth the extra cost

 

The VERT...

Absolutely, Positivly, Without a doubt!

 

Convertibles are great, hard tops are stonger- depends on what you want to use it for- daily driving, racing, ect ect,...

 

If you live somewhere you can keep the top down at least half of the time, get a convertible. With the top and windows down, the convertible has better lines than the hardtop. I'm not so sure when the top is up, though.

I was looking for a good convertible when I bought my car and not specifically looking for a Mustang. I test drove four different convertibles and the Mustang was best, so I bought it.

Anytime the temperature is above 50 and it's not wet outside, I have my top down. That definitely puts a smile on my face at the end of a hard day.
