Driving a convertible —*worth it?

Got a little spring fever. The idea of getting a used convertible or jeep SOUNDS fun (as do all ideas that go horrendously wrong). Obvious downsides: leaky roof; hardtops are a pain in the ass to get on and off. What other cons are there?

That could be that it was just my style but I always felt like a tool driving it and with the top down it was even worse. A cool car for a chick or a...tool
That is the quintessential 50 year old woman car, it's no wonder you felt like a clown. Men need to go wrangler or a dedicated sports car to pull it off.

My old man has a Corvette convertible, that think is a blast to drive especially when its weather right now. I got a moonroof in my SUV, I love it - I pop it open about all the time right now.

If you want to drive around in a convertible, I'd suggest renting one for a weekend. I'd never own one.

leak water
wind noise, even with the top up
more likely to be burgled and/or vandalized
probably have to replace the top at some point
those plastic windows always turn to crap
