most people that make this assumption have never driven a convertable, however when asked they will say, yeah borrowed a mates, or took my parents out! drive a proper sports convertable and they will change there mind, however they wont admit to it!
nothing beats roof down cruising in the summer, noise of the engine ripping and the chicks

not a complex, i do so why it would appeal to people and i imagine on a empty country road in the summer its ace but when your in urban areas etc i just cringe when i see people like that.

I'd like one for the summer 
I get free diesel with the works van however and would rather take that a drive knowing full well I wasn't paying for it

it is quite nice to have a roof down mid summer etc, but thats there only quality 9/10 the hard top variant looks better, and most people think you're a poser, apart fomr the owners of soft tops

It's so quintessentially English to not like people in convertibles
It's too liberal and not stiff upper lip conformity.
I realy really really miss my Z/M3
Convertibles are great

I wonder if a coupe version would have been a better drive though
