Love my vert, I would recommend it.

Some people have had some issues with the 5th bar breaking on theirs, but outside of that, not too many widespread issues. Plus, the car looks so much better as a vert than a coupe.

Actually... the car looks so much better as a coupe rather than a vert.

Do you see how silly that sounds? Its all relative and everyone has their tastes. I would NEVER get a vert, but that's just me.

Topless is the way to go. A 13 will have the different top so you are good to go. Enjoy

That's correct. Although it wasn't completely free from problems. Nothing major though.

there was a recall for the tops from when I owned a 11, I never had a problem with mine, and I used sunbrella I bought online to waterproof it.
