I would say depends on your neighborhood and the size of your garage.Convertibles are definately nice, in nice weather, and draw I think more attention going down the street with the top down.However, when it is raining or just plain cold, they are not much fun to drive or heat.I have had both for many years, I always worry when parking a convertible somewhere about the top being sliced, accidentally or intentionally.With a hardtop or fastback, I feel more secure,and warmer thanks to that roof.Both are good choices, convertibles I think need a litle more care and maintenance- they need a garage more in my opinion, of course if you live in Southern California you don't have to worry.
