On the road noise topic, I did drive a coupe with the 19" Rays and a roadster with the 18" standard tires and the roadster was noticeably quieter to my ears. I would agree the Coupe was a bit too loud for me.

Legroom was measured by butt dyno only. Perhaps the difference is in the seat, itself. Whatever the reason. I based my estimate on adjustment necessary to the seat position to get comfortable. I still had a little travel room in the Coupe seat. In my Roadster, I'm very comfortable, but the seat is pushed all the way back.
Both cars I drove had the 19"s they were identical in road/tire noise, which is to say it was about where I expected the convertible to be and louder than I expected the Coupe to be.
