never will own a ragtop again....had a Boxster.
gotta love the trunk space from the softtop. for example Dont know how much golf you play but take one look at the 335 trunk... with the top UP you cant even get a set of clubs in there much less 2. forget putting anything in there with the top down. the mechanism takes up a ton of space up or down. soft top all day... i wouldnt ever worry about the looks with the top up because all that will do is remind you how good it looks with the top down.

Default Coupe, Cab, Coupe, Cab

Thats been my history so far . . .

Currently in a S5 Cab and could not be happier. Even here in MN you get a lot of good months. I can't argue performance, weight, etc., but for pure driving fun I really am enjoying a cab again.

No question the coupe is beautiful, but having the top down is way different than a sunroof.

One kind of fun styling note--when the top is down, the aluminum trim on the outside really flows with the brushed aluminum trim on the inside.

Why so quick to change ? Seems like your video shows you love the sound of the Porsche compared to V6 Supercharger's more subdued tone ?

I think the 911 sound is weak sauce for the money
I am sure it's more to it than that....
To me the open top is the best, and the engine sound is 90% of the car.

Almost the same car. The only difference I have Tuscan/Black seats in the 2011 and Chestnut /Black seats in the 2013
Both with Carbon, B&O stereo, Audi sport rear Diff and navigation..
Also the new one will have RS4 wheels in Hyper Silver
