This poll is kinda unfair since the majority of the owners on here own t-top cars. In my opinion, the vert(go figure, I own one..LOL) is the better all around option if you want the ease and the most when it comes to a great cool summer drive. All I do is hit the button, top goes down. No getting out of the car to get those T's in the back.

Before I get flamed, 99% of the time I drive my car with the top down. Now my vert is not a daily driver by any means, but on the long haul of the Power Tour, the only time the top was up, was when it was raining. What is the percentage of you T-top owners that actually drive your car with the T's off? Just curious.

I think the better question is when I don't drive with them off. The answer to that would be: when it's raining, too cold, or I'm not going very far (no more than 5 minutes).

hard top all day, turned down 3 ttop cars cuz i wanted a hard top, ttops are nice & all, when not leaking, cracked, flying off, puttin'em in takin'em out, someone trying to steal them, or break them if they cant steal em.
but evrybody here has an opinion and this is mine, if i wanted a vert, i'd go buy a diomond star!!

I've owned two hardtop 4th gens and one t-top 4th gen. I prefer hardtops personally.

I'd say 100% T-Tops are the best of both worlds. There are only 3 times I drive with the tops in: Raining, Temp below 50, Temp above 90.

Well, so far you guys are the only two to chime in. Something tells me the ones who don't respond are the ones that keep their T's on for the most part.
