Only issue is that I can only DD it 7 months a year.
You'll never look back.
I even don't mind traffic on a sunny, warm day.

I DD mine in all conditions. With the top up, the experience is really no different than the coupe that I used to own.

The only issue I'm having is on VERY uneven pavement - such as going up my driveway - there is a slight pop at the windshield. It only happens when the car flexes from hitting the street to the driveway at an angle. I've had it in and worked on twice by the dealer and they've been unable to correct it. I'm going to try the other dealer in town to see if the may be better at the adjustment. The car is still under mfg warranty so the cost is on the factory.

How would they fix that? Adjust the top?

That's the plan. Otherwise I'll have to investigate with trial and error of soft padding in strategic locations. On my '02 996 Cab - I was able to eliminate ALL creaks this way.

If you plan to track the car, make sure and look at the track rules where you plan to drive it as some places will not allow the cab without a roll cage.

That's all I got.
