What's wrong with Targas!
All non Targa owners, chime in. Targa owners are not allowed to respond/defend targas in this thread.

It's not that it's a targa, it's that it's not a coupe.

Personally, I think they're fugly because the ruin the perfect silhouette of the 911 coupe. Especially, with the larger/higher rear window. It totally kills the curve. But that's just me and it's my OPINION!

Had one, here's my ***** list:
1. chassis flex 2. noisy, squeak due to #1 3. they all leak at the vent glass frame 4. expensive to reupholster and never look quite right 5. eventually crack along edge bead 6. rear window weatherstrip is almost impossible to replace w/o breaking glass, no shop will touch it 7. floorpan rust due to #3 That about sums-up why I sold mine. |

I think the classic lines of the 911 are in large part defined by the roof. I don"t mind Targas but definitely prefer the coupe.

It's open air motoring, 911 style. What more could you ask for?

I don't even own a 911 yet, so I guess that qualifies me as a non-targa owner. But I will.
Targas do look kinda goofy- especially with a tail. But the advantages of a targa top outweighs the goofiness. Plus cabs look really goofy with the top up. Have a great weekend! Paul.
