QuoteI bought a 2 for how it drives, not how it drives topless.  The fact that the hardtop has stiffened the chassis and mostly stopped everything rattling as I drive it is more than half the reason I persist with it.  The fact that I started to lose my hair just as the 2 went on sale, and that fortunately my 2 came with the magic gateway to the Arctic that is an A/C button in a Toyota, just adds extra weight to my view that lid on is the only way to go.

I love two seater coupe's so much I bought a roadster!!!  s:? :? s:?    s:? :? s:?    s:? :? s:?


Get a baseball cap and enjoy the sun,never thought i would enjoy topless driving as much.I don't notice any difference how it drives with or without the hard or soft top on or off....in fact i'm amazed at how quiet the car is driving with the top down/hardtop off (no rattles at all here),actually had to look at the rev counter last night at the lights to see if it was still running  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Do you have any chassis bracing? Get a big mid brace and the rattles disappear in a similar way to having the hard top on.

Mine is facelift. The rattles started when the suspension was changed for much stiffer BC's.

On the bright side, my mpg has gone up by 3   s:D :D s:D   .... however, my car performs like an asthma sufferer doing the 100m after midday   s:( :( s:(
