Convertible or Coupe?

I'm now on the fence. If I order a coupe now I'll have around $5K in my pocket.
I currently have a BMW convertible and have the top down 30% of the time.
What do you folks think I should do?

What I think you should do...

I think you should keep the BMW for your top down fun, and get the SS coupe for your fun driving needs.

30% and you live in California?? I too have a BMW 1 Series ragtop that I only drive 6 months out of the year, but barring any rain, that top is down 100% of the time . Just need to turn on the heat and wear a hat come the chilly CT spring/fall.

My lease is up in May and I plan on going all in on a 2SS DropTop. Hopefully the moons will align on availability.

Do you need back seat room? From what I've heard from people who attended the reveal there is no back seat room even if the person in front is short..

I need a minimum amount of back seat room (at least comparable) with the Mustang and I think that rules out the Camaro for me...

Wait a year and save up the money. You'll also have a better chance to get a better deal.

The stealer here in Rohnert Park says price difference between coupe and vert is $2K. That's less than I thought. Anyone know for sure?

Coupe. Convertibles on 'big' cars don't really work for me. S2000, Miata, BMW, fine. Not even a fan of the old Pontiac G6 convertible either.

Not only will you save 5k but you'll also save a few hundred pounds. I would never buy a vert on a performance car personally.

Is the Vert really 300 lbs more? I thought I read here it was just around sixty pounds more.
