J4CKO Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I have a 2007 296 bhp Convertible in Grey, only 38k. From those who have had a Coupe and a convertible, is there much difference between them to drive, is the extra weight noticeable ? Might sell mine soon, fancy a change, is there much price differential between Coupes and Convertibles ? Quote
keithvmx1200 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 I think convertibles are meant to be worth less than Coupes but come the summer I know which one I prefer. I have had coupes but being a biker as well I love the feeling of freedom a convertibles gives you. Regards keith 1 Quote
keithvmx1200 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Very nice and I love the wheels they go well with the car. Regards keith 1 Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 This is mine. I still have mine. Its getting a new roof at the moment. Welcome to The Forum.. Nice spoiler, wasn't sure you could fit one on a Roadster ? Quote
keithvmx1200 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 WhackyWill are you getting the new roof done in your area and is it expensive. Regards keith Quote
rabbitstew Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I have a 2007 296 bhp Convertible in Grey, only 38k. From those who have had a Coupe and a convertible, is there much difference between them to drive, is the extra weight noticeable ? Might sell mine soon, fancy a change, is there much price differential between Coupes and Convertibles ? The extra weight knocked something like 0.5seconds off the 0-60 on my HR one over a coupe. But on the road wasnt noticeable. Also, whilst the roadster is heavier, that re-enforcement and strengthening is all low down, so the reviews I read said that they actually handle the same / if not better than a coupe. I never pushed it to the limit on a track back-to-back so cant say, but certainly on the road there wouldnt be anything in it. I think convertibles are meant to be worth less than Coupes but come the summer I know which one I prefer. When I looked the roadsters were more expensive than the coupe`s as they are rarer. Of course, Roadsters will sell easier in the summer rather than winter, when in general prices of convertibles are stronger as demand is higher. But I enjoyed mine all year around. Nothing like getting the roof down, heaters on full blast and having a back road thrash in the middle of winter. 1 Quote
The Seasider Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 My coupe feels much faster than my roadster - but the coupe is an auto, so that may be the determining factor. They're both pretty impractical and obviously both have two seats - so if it was a straight choice I'd take the roadster everytime. I've had my roadster for over 3 years now - which is the longest I've ever owned a car incidentally - the coupe just a year. I thought it made sense to get the coupe for the cold and wet days when the roadster wasn't ideal but I don't actually drive it much as I've got other cars that are better suited to the cold and wet! so, I think I am actually going to sell the coupe when I can get around to writing an ad to go with the photos I took when it was all shiny last week. I will of course give our forum members first refusal :-) The roadster however, will stay in the fleet for a while yet! Still loving it 1 Quote
