It is a personal choice. For me I loved motorcycles in my younger days but they have become too dangerous with all the distracted drivers. My wife and I take the lc vert out at least once a week for a several hour drive. We drive the backroads of CT which are hilly with lots of woods and nice scenery. There is nothing like being in the open air, enjoying the sites and smells. To me driving in a convertible is an event every time I take it out. This is why I own 2 and traded my coupe for the convertible. The key is I'm retired and have the time to enjoy the cars as just entertainment and use my suv for daily errands.

, despite having to get used to getting out of it initially. I am 5 ft. 11in. and can get in no problem, and I find it roomy enough inside to have a comfortable driving position, but yes the seats are firmer than average, they have a comfort seat option in Europe and elsewhere but not available here, we only get the sports seat in North America. The ride is stiff even in comfort mode but the roads in our city are generally good enough. The car is a blast to drive and it sounds very good for a turbo engine.The LC coupe will be more comfortable for sure.

I did last year's Dustball rally from Denver to Vegas in my LC500 convertible. Did most of the driving with the top up. Got to Zion National Park, dropped the top:
This ^^^ is why you buy the convertible, to more fully enjoy the destination. The coupe is quieter, more rigid (I've driven one at COTA), the better highway car. The convertible is the better destination car.
I personally think that the coupe looks better, but I'm really glad they made the convertible.
