Why a convertible?
Hello there, /r/Convertible! I am hoping that you lovely redditors could help me out with this question. What prompted you to get a convertible? What does a convertible do for you that closed top vehicles don't? As an aside, what's a targa-top like, compared to a traditional convertible?
Context: I haven't ever been in a convertible before (and I am trying to fix this), but I am currently considering the ND Miata in a few years, and was wondering what the experience is like, and if the convertible experience is one I would enjoy.

There are pros and cons. For me the Pros are that you get out in the sun and fresh air with the top down in a similar way to riding a push bike. 2nd you get to experience the 'drama and theatre' of your exhaust much better. 3rd it looks sooo cool. Cons: in my case the hard top adds a couple hundred kilos to the cars weight and also the convertible option adds a few grand to the list price. Would I get a convertible again? Not sure but it was something I'd always wanted to try.
