Targa 4S or Cabrio S

Thinking about getting a 09' Targa 4S or Cabrio S. What do you guys think?
Does the Targa offer a stiff platform than Cabrio? Which is better to drive?

I would get a Targa 4S because I got very much acquainted to the panaromic roof on my cayenne and whenever I feel the weather is great you can open it on the move as apposed to stopping to open the softop if you dont have a smart top module as an example.

a Cobalt Blue over Seablue Targa 4S would look pretty awesome if you ask me, I've seen it in first hand it and it feels very bespoke.

Targa!!! Can't deny that the roof lines on a Targa look nicer than a cab.

Both awesome choices... but I am going to encourage the Targa 4S over the Cab. I really depends on what you want... a Targa is 1/2 way to a Cab, so a nice compromise between the hard-top coupe and the Cab. The Targa is actually based on the Cab body... b/c of the fixed rails for the pano roof, the Targa does have slightly more structural rigidity vs the Cab. As I understand it, the Targa also has a slightly stiffer suspension set-up as well (read that, not 100% sure). The Targa is also more limited in production, thus more unique.

targa for sure - they are unbelievably quite with the roof closed, but as soon as you want open air - it;s there

Definitely the targa. Cleaner lines than the cabriolet.

I sometimes think that I could enjoy a Targa 4S more than a Turbo regardless of the speed, a Targa 4S is for a specific person however over here its mainly dominated by female owners sporting these beautiful cars.
