Default TT coupe, roadster or B5 S4 ?

I am moving from western Mass. to San Diego over summer and as my '99 A4 is approaching 90000 miles, I am thinking about getting a new (used) car. Who here has a TT as their only car ? Coupe or convertible ? I believe the trunk in the TT roadster is very small so I am a bit concerned about that but the weather in southern CA is just too nice not to consider getting one. The other option is getting a B5 S4 with low mileage, which is a great car but not that much different from my current car.

Default In Wisconsin: 02 225 TTQR daily driver; 40 F or warmer...topless!

Living it, loving it, driving it. Best time I've ever had on four wheels. Still getting compliments on interior, style, shine, etc.

Default If you want a roadster, you can't go wrong with the TT, but the car was designed to be a coupe!

In my opinion. Flame on, roadster drivers!

Default No question that it looks better overall as a coupe, but you're incorrect: during design, the two...

... bodystyles were designed concurrently. In fact, the concept car that you see most often is the Nimbus Roadster, below:

Oh, I'm not stating a fact that it was designed to be a coupe, just an opinion

Default Have experience with both TT Coupe and B5 S4...

I love the S4 and only recently got the TT 3.2 DSG for a change, keeping the S4 (wife now owns).

Both are outstanding cars, but the nod goes to the S4 for utility. The TT gets the nod for style/design. With the seats folded down, there is adequate room for storage.

Check on the trunk carriers if the truck is your biggest hold out.
