From Coupe to Roadster

**** I found the top-up noise level to be roughly the same or maybe a bit quieter than the coupe. Top down, the "noise" shifts from engine and tire noise to exhaust note -- a very pleasant, and welcome tone.

- cabin space

**** The Roadster feels a bit more cramped than the coupe, mostly due to perception of having the bulkhead, rather than the open hatch behind you. I also perceive there to be maybe 1/2" less legroom in the Roadster, though official measurements are identical.

- power (ours are 200lbs. heavier than the coupe, can you tell?)

**** I could not tell any difference in power or performance.


- handling

**** I haven't really pushed either car in the handling department. Street ride seems really the same, for what that's worth. I'd imagine the coupe would be a better choice if handling is your determining factor, though. There probably is a point that you can push a roadster to cowl shake or body flex, but I haven't gotten there yet.

- there's a space in the trunk for a jack but i didn't get a jack...did you?

**** Nope, no jack in mine, either. The Roadster doesn't have a spare, so an emergency jack is useless. You fix a flat with the tire kit.
