You're either a convertible person or you're not.

Wife has DD'd her Solara since she bought it 15 years ago. I don't daily my Camaro, but it's noticeably quieter than the Solara as long as I'm not heavy with the loud pedal with the exhaust valves open. In Tour even the Z it's a purring kitten and quieter all around vs. the Solara. Much easier to have a highway speed top-down conversation in the Camaro.


If noise is an issue...
If the occasional drip from the top during a rain is an issue...
If wind noise at highway speeds is an issue ...
If shit rear visibility with the top up is an issue...
...then you're not a convertible person.

If you're a convertible person, none of the above matters. Kinda like driving a 2 door sportscar doesn't matter in the modern SUV world. With the vert it's all about the sun, the breeze, and the roar of the engine above it all.
