Not that I know of. And as far as heating and cooling, the A/C almost works too well in my Mustang since it has such a small cab, its never really cold in FL. Road noise? I have exhaust so I wouldn't know what that means.

Its not for the track just a cruiser! Thanks for the help guys! I'm definitely going with a vert! Hope to make a purchase within the next few weeks and then I'll have up some pics!

That is true, but it's not that bad, still better than an 05/06 with louvers on the side windows.

oh and verts SUCK in the bright sun in traffic, if they have leather the sun beats the leather dry in no time, the leather gets SOOOOOOOO hot u can barely sit on it, u get blinded ALL the time with a vert by the sun, the cover is PRONE to tears and vandalism, u roll = u die or at least loose ur head. IMOP coupe is THE only way to go for any car unless its the hard top like the new g6 or chevy SSR

you can die in a coupe too (it happens everyday somewhere), a coupe can easily be vandalized- bright sun in traffic=nice tan and looks freakin' awesome, I'll give ya the leather seat though. I have black leather, its hard to ride in shirtless when its been in the sun for a while. But, how many of you guys roll shirtless anyway.... the only way I would ever drive a coupe is if it has a moonroof/or at least a sunroof. I cant stand the fact that you look up and theres a roof there-so plain/cheap looking. No extra light, no air moving- well beside windows- whichs sux. Just my opinion, but, verts give the best of both worlds. You wanna roll with the top up, then go for it (ifs its too hot or something). You want to hit the button and the top goes back, then go for it. Not having the choice would just suck

Umm,, roll in a car with a retractable hardtop & you die just as quick a with a canvas soft top,, I don't get your point. But, if you're so cncerned abouit safety then buy a Volvo with 2 dozen airbags.

& seatcovers eases the summer leather-seat worries just that easy

i think he's talking about when the top is down. reffering to your face making love to the street when the car rolls.
