I've fit a suprising amount in the trunk... although it took 3 tries to get it all in. Im 6'3 but mostly in the legs, so the only time i hit the roof is when a speed bump sneaks up on me... then it hurts... I DD my 'vert too, just recently took it about 600 miles out to school, and next week im doing about 1200 on her. The top leaks a tiny bit, but only in the worst rain, its right up where the rear corner of the window tries to seat against the targa panel. Overall its not too bad tho, especially if you use the space underneath the top for storage when its up as well as the trunk.

ive daily driven my vert for only three months and i hate the f*cking thing. im selling mine in the spring time. i have two leaks so the trunk is soaked 24/7 and also behind the seats on the floor is soaked most of the time as well. i found the leaks to come from the drainage tubes because the little crimp rings on the top of the tubes arent connected right to the drain pockets. and also it leaks all over the back of the top because theres no seal or anything where the top meets the body of the car. theres only about a 1/2" overlap. im pretty sure that there should be a seal or something back there!

I absolutely love my vert. I daily drive it, though i bought a mustang GT for winter hahaha! Im trying not to put so many miles on it because its all OG with 65k miles. Im looking for a cover for it, do you think that it'll be okay with leaving it outside? I dont have a garage right now, but i HATE seeing snow or frost on the car, so i clean it as soon as i can!

Daily drive mine all the year long ...live in Victoria BC as well btw (rainy hehehe) all the bitchin bout leaks is stupid find the prob and fix it is all, there are seals that need replacing after 20 years so do it and shut up haha.

I wouldnt trade my vert for any other car in its price range it is a BLAST to drive sunny top down and rainy slidin around corners with wheels spinning. Mind you have good all season tires or you will break loose in the slick but hehe thats fun too...

To all the haters, go get yerself a honda or something cause my vert still turns heads gets compliments on its styling all the time etc. etc.

As well it is one of the VERY few import cars that now actually can increase in value every year now (providing you keep her happy with regular new parts)

To the guy with the gap near body and top at back,(or any other persons gap leaks) you are probably missing the metal retainer that tight fits the top to the body as well there is a sealing tape that is supposed to be there. An alternative for anyone with a vert with top/body seal leaks is to go get some DUM DUM strip caulk sealer ( 3M or Pro Form http://proformproducts.com/en/produc...ng/?category=9) and fill the gaps, great stuff.

Anyhow my vert is sweet na na na boo boo...
