    I can live without the soft-top. I mostly drove with the roof up, like a coupe, and preferred it inside that way. Yeah it's nice on a warm sunny day, and other times it is still nice to get fresh air, but it's something I can live without.

    Yes, convertibles are nice to do at times and move on to something else.

    I've had maybe 5 or 6 over the years, and probably will have another at some point

    Great cars those Fiesta STs. :beer:

    Nearly all my cars have been convertibles. I love the light and air. I'd rather tootle along, enjoying the journey with the roof down, than rush around in a much faster saloon. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Oh it's lovely, no doubt. Most of my driving is in the dark so I don't get the best use out of it. 90% of the time I have the roof up, and it makes it more comfortable and I can listen to music better.


    I went for an amazing drive a couple weeks ago, and thought yeah I'm gonna miss it. But having a fixed roof isn't the end of the world, and when I drive other cars I don't feel like I miss the open air.
