Default Vert owners poll

I am torn between a vert or coupe for my 2011 stang. I am asking all you vert owners out there if you would get the vert again or if you would rather have a coupe.
There is nothing like having the top down but does it get old when it's hot or from leaks or other reasons.
I think I can live with a lot of minor inconvieniences but the top will stay down all the time, whenever I ban.
Tell me your likes and dislikes about convertible life!
Thanks

I am sure other 'vert owners will agree...There is nothing like a vert.....*S*....Love them...not really noticing any leaks. and as far as hotness.....Just drive fast and the wind will take care of the heat....LOL

gotta love the verts. the 04 gt vert i have right now is my 3rd vert. i have also had 3 other coupes but i always come back to the vert. In my opinion it really comes down to personal preference and what plans you have for the car. The year model also is a big factor for me.

Go with the vert , just keep some lotion in the glove box for those really sunny days. Driving a convertible you notice every temperature change as you travel along and are much more aware of the smells and sounds of life around you. Enjoy!

I have always been a coupe fan, my wife a vert fan... She won, but so did I. Learned to love the wind and the open feeling.

Vert for me. I could not imagine not having it. Car is pretty quiet when up. Only trouble is that the car never looks as good with the top up. So when walking to the parking lot I see the car and know I am putting the top as soon as I turn the keys on.

Wife has had a vert since 2000 , she wore out a pump and a cylinder on her 2000 . Now she has a 2008 vert . When we aren't driving that we are on the bike . Not counting winter . Lifes to short to be stuffed in a coupe . Remember you will be stuffed in a box forever if your not toasted.
