there are drawbacks to both the hardtop and softtop options

the hardtop is not as stong as a fixed top, and with all the hinges required to let it fold it's not going to make the body more rigid at all.

The hardtop would eat alot of trunk space too

the softtop isn't perfect either, but it's the tried and tested option



no hardtop convertible has had any performance at all so far
