Do You Prefer A Hardtop or Convertible?


I found this sweet convertible love the stripes and interior looks real clean and definately would turn heads going down the street. Let me know what you think and which would you prefer.

honestly Im not a big fan of convertibles. atleast not the ragtop ones. I just don't like the look of the rear or the overall look with the top up. takes away from the curves. Plus here in Texas you might get a day or 2 outta the year to ride with the top down. either super cold or surface of the sun super hot. now t-tops... THAT I would be all over like ugly on an ape....

Love the look of a convertible. But my pasty white skin needs more shade. So its a hardtop with a sunroof for me.

Convertible if the top is down... Living in AZ, I pass on the 110 degree air conditioning that mother nature provides.

Never really liked the look of the Vert.

I perfer the coupe. I personally dislike owning a convertible. Driving around in one is fun though.

Had a convertible for 3 months and it sounded like the windows were cracked when driving over 50mph with the top up. Might have been unreasonable expectations on my part but as much fun as the vert was I got rid of it while I had the chance when the dealer starting giving me the runaround on being able to fix it. I think the verts look great though, especially the silver/black combo I had.

I am sure those verts are fun in the open air. Great for sight seeing drives. It would be great to have both. But for many reasons, I like the security of a roof over my head. And a quiet cabin, as far as wind noise goes. I have a sun roof, and I could live without it.

Combined. For the Camaro I want a coupe, but my previous ride was a hard top convertible and was the best of both worlds.
