Re: Driving the Roadster
Let's see -- I save on sunscreen when I drive my coupe.
Seriously, I have found no difference in ride or cornering. With the top up, the roadster is pretty quiet. I actually hear some body noises in the coupe that I don't hear in the roadster.
As you know, visibility out the back sucks in the coupe. It's great in the roadster with the top down. Worse with the top up, if you can imagine that. Also, there is a lot less "trunk" in the roadster, especially with the top down. Don't expect to carry golf clubs or 2-3 suitcases. Maybe a couple small overnighters.
With the heat full blast and the seat turned on, I've driven the roadster in 30o weather very comfortably. It spends 98% of it's life top down since I keep it in a garage.
Bottom line, I always liked the looks of the Crossfire but when the 2005 model came out in a convertible, it was my only choice. Since then I added two coupes because 1) I wanted the same color in an SRT6 and the coupe came along first; and 2) my son preferred the coupe and I thought it was more functional due to the "trunk room".
