Default roadster or coupe?

just wondering everyones opinions on the two. i love the coupe, but im seeing some crazy deals right now on roadsters that i dont know if i can pass up. cons to a roadster from my understanding is chassis flex(even noticable?), more weight, less cargo room... but 14000 for a 225 roadster with 22000 miles on it is a steal imo... or 12500 for a nimbus grey, baseball stitch 225 roadster with 60k... idk.... thoughts?

Its all about how much your preference is worth to you.


Coupe is the only way to go for me.

^ same here, i like it lighter and with lots of storage. If you can deal with the lack of space, those are some good deals

coupe is the only way to go. The body lines are 10x sexier in the coupe. And I will NEVER own a convertable unless it's a convertable hard top. Canvas cheapens the experience. Canvas is for girls and gay guys over 50. And if you can... Black/black is the cleanest IMO. The reason you see so many roadsters is because there are a ton out there. A nice 225q Cpe is hard to find.

Under 50 not gay.

Not that I'm into proving people as ignorant or anything.

Default other overhead costs

Coupe will have a slightly lower insurance premium in many cases due to the backseat and higher theft deterrent of not having a soft top.

There are also maintenance costs in the TCO that you need to consider such as top replacement, more chance of leaks, latches, etc...

That being said...I own a Coupe but have also noticed some sweet deals on the ragtop. If the right one comes along I wouldn't be adversed to getting my TT a friend

Theft not a problem with the right co-pilot

Gay? TT roadster... hmm I'll show you gay.


You could drop a VR6 in them, still doesn't make them masculine.
