-Weight/performance
-Looks
-More parts to go wrong
I would recommend thinking long and hard about how much you would realistically use the convertible roof, but in the end do what feels best!

+1 I agree on all points. I had a 350 touring roadster and told myself I would never by a roadster again. Sure it was great to drop the top every now and again, but whenever I saw a coupe roll by I lusted after it. My top was in need of replacement before it was totalled and was quoted 6-8K by Nissan to have it replaced. F that.
