The cons would be the auto to manual swap and the fact that it's a convertable.

all convertables dont have the chassis rigidity that cars with roofs have. there is the big hole on top that offers no structure of "backbone" for the car. so the car has it's disadvantages. but it's still a hot ride. only if they came in manual then it would be a valid option for me.
the hatch is alot better then the drop, but not as stiff as the coupe.
i personally like the hatch better and just buy the necessay goodies to solve that problem
