Not true as far as I experienced it with my 72 and 79 Targas. They are the perfect sport car for road experience, the perfect touring car. Nothing better than have unrestricted view of your surroundings and having the wind in your face. Are they a little softer than coupes? Yes, but for just fun open air driving that is not noticible. Do Targas leak and make noises? Not according the my ecxperience. And I also had coupes! I guess the roof has to fit good and no problems!. I drove my Targas as daily drivers for years, rain or shine, and even took them skiing. No problem! And I never thought they were less comfortable than coupe's. And I had a few of those Porsches too. It seems the diference plays a role more if you want to take the car to the track. If that is what your goal is then get the lightest stiffest car available. One advantage the Targa has over the Cab, besides the roll bar is that you can roll up the widows, heat the car and be as comfortable in cold weather as in a coupe with an open sun roof. Also, the rear Targa window prevents air from blowing you hair forward, unlike in a cab, and when you are in the car driving there is no different feel than being inside a cab. Most of the cab advantage is, in my opinion, on how the car looks from the outside.
