Yeah, sounds like your are buzzed. First, calm down a minute. Secondly, read the post again, and actually read it. Don't just look at the words. And lastly ease up with putting words in my mouth and getting testy, bro.

Interiors are smaller (side room in back and leg room in front and back)
, sound system sounds crappier, a lot more road noise, a lot more prone to water leaks, more parts to maintain/replace, bumpier ride, and they're a lot more prone to squeeks and rattles.


Even with all of that it's still nice to drop the top on a summer's night and go cruising.
That may be true, but when the top is down, we have unlimited headroom.

Please please please check your facts before making ridiculous claims.

First, the 99 vert has 42.6 inches of front leg room, the EXACT SAME as the coupe.
Second, the 99 vert has 30.3 inches of rear leg room, the EXACT SAME as the coupe.
Third, the 99 ver has 37.9 inches of front head room, a whopping two tenths of an inch less than the 38.1 in the coupe
Fourth, the 99 vert has 35.8 inches of rear head room, another whopping one tenth of an inch less than the 35.9 in the coupe

If I wasnt so tired, I would dismantle your other claims.

I dont think there is too much more that you can "dismantle" pal.

First. They ARE prone to more road noise due to the simple fact of not having a headliner
Second. They ARE more prone to water leaks, and you cant tell me that a vert seals up better than a coupe over time.
Third. There ARE OBVIOUSLY more parts to maintain/replace.
Fourth. They ARE more prone to squeeks and rattles due to the extra parts.

You are getting way to defensive. You preference is a vert, and so be it. Mine is a coupe, we both have our various reasons. Let it go.

On a side note, I think all you vert owners should get together wearing white teepee hats and sheets, you guys are worse than the Klan[8D]

his sucks for all the reasons mentioned earlier. He has had leaks and randomly it stopped going down. Top was slashed twice (once sitting right next to my coupe that wasn't screwed with) road noise is more and it looks crappy (red with tan top....lol) Yeah that last one is personal opinion obviously.

For you guys that have one and love it, awesome, Im happy for you. I just don't like them and wouldn't ever want to own one. I might possibly take a classic vert or one of those that look like a hardtop when its up but other than that I'm biased and thats just the way it is.....sorry
