I've fit a few determined individuals in the back of mine, some over 6 ft tall! Even taken a ride there myself. Sounds great!!

Simple to answer. Drive both on a nice day. Or you can buy both. Owning a TT coupe and a TTS cab- In summer, no brainer- cab every chance I get. It makes the drive a joyous experience. The compromise is the cab is not quite as rigid and exhibits more rattles.

No matter which you choose, the TTS amazes me every time I drive it.

Thanks for all the comments.
I am still undecided and the available coupes greatly outnumber the cabs.
I am looking diligently for the right car loaded with low miles and the required mods.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Get a Turbo S Cab...and buy the optional hard top...
When you want to coupe look, install the hard top (under 10min).
When you want the cab look...remove the hard top (under 7 min)

Problem solved!!!

The cabrio is indeed a great looking car.
The fat hump in the rear when the top is down reminds of the 356.

The cabs are great...definitely rattles more but with the top down the experience is amazing. The position of the windshield and the shape of the doors and etc on the 911 makes it an awesome convertible IMO. I only wish I lived in a climate where I could enjoy it more.

Cab allows the pilot to fully experience the engine noise during the drive I feel, compared to the coupe.

Agree the coupe is more pretty, but the full aural jet on take off experience when sans roof compensates IMO.
