Tohsan: The convertible has almost the same performance as the hardtop, but the difference is, the sound of the engine! Also, I dont know why, but I drive a lot better in convertibles, I guess its because I dont feel so enclosed, and I can asses tight corners & bends better.. the rush of wind, and sound of the engine is brutal. And when u wanna hide ur bald spots when driving too slow, u can just put the top up. Brilliant! Ice? Isnt that for poser cars? To enjoy music while driving, I found the best sound system without massive heavy woofers, is the Bose noise cancelling headphones.. almost zero ambient noize...mind blowing.
