Default 225 coupe vs roadster

question for all you guys...I'm a former Audi owner (had an 02 Allroad a couple years ago) and am thinking about getting back into one. I'm really liking the 225 TTs, but can't decide if i like the coupes or roadsters better, I didn't like the roadsters at all at first, but they're starting to grow on me. Any issues I should look out for on either or anything to sway my decision???? Thanks..Mike

Coupe is more practical. Roadster has a removable top.

First impressions are usually correct!

Default BioTTech has it right. Depends on what you will be using the car for.

Daily driver? Your only car? Buy the coupe.

Do you live in a good climate that would allow you to enjoy a drop-top and have another car or no need to actually haul anything around? Then buy the convertible.

Default Recently bought one, started out looking at roadsters since I had a friend selling one...

but it was too small interior-wise. Mechanically they seem the same, model to model.

One thing I did learn on the roadsters is the rear window tends to separate at the corners from the top, and that is an expensive thing to replace. Also there are about 3 roadsters to every coupe in my area(Southeast) so if you want a clean coupe that can be a challenge.

Here's ours... needs a suspension drop but, pretty flawless otherwise for a 2003. Wasn't looking for a blue/blue but... this one is brand new for the most part, 35K mi when we purchased. Good luck!
