I agree coupe looks nicer, its not easy to decide. You would suprise but we have here a lot of convertible type of weather, not cold and not super hot, I find it the most find to drive in such weather. I am not planing hard top if I go for convertible, it looks like I am going to order a lot of option so may be convertible resale value will be better. I would love to see convertible with sport seats picture. Too bad its a winter now and I can test in the same days boths 997s coupe and convertible to compare. I am planning to order next week, so I will probably take convertible with roof up for a test drive.
