Would you recommend a 6gc convertible?, What's bad about the verts? Options

[airswoosh1]

As I have been searching for a 6gc to purchase, I have noticed an overabundance of convertibles for sale. Is there some major negative about the 6gc convertibles? I've read the thread about they are actually imported as hard tops and then cut down by some company in California, but outside of that what are the major downsides? Unlike many convertibles, it has a glass rear window, not that yellow-plastic junk like most.

So would you guys recommend purchasing a 6gc convertible, or should I just wait for a hard top?

Convertibles do have the possibility of the motors going, which is like 1000 if you still want the top to go up and down by itself. However, you can use the top manually.

I love my convertible. It has more headroom than the hatch. Top doesn't leak at all (though it was replaced once). Wind noise is acceptable. It's a tradeoff with handling a bit, but a very fun tradeoff. Windy once you get above 55. Probably a bit more clatter over bumps. Rear seat is a little smaller and more upright. You lose cargo room and flexibility by not folding the seats down.

That's about it.
