Not sure what you are trying to accomplish with that statement but if you look at the statistics i guess you could argue that the mustang as a whole is for girls. Most of the gt's that i see on the road are driven by females and it does have a "secretary car" reputation.Around here convertibles are for girls lol
The question isn't why everybody might or might not want a convertible, it's about why each individual might.Excuse me? Do most Mustang buyers concern themselves with the Track or Drag Strip? How about taking your Golden Retrievers to the Beach for a swim in the Ocean with the Top down? That too complicated?:clap2:

WordI think it looks more proper and authentic Mustang look as a fastback
At speeds under 60 wind noise is not really an issue for us and the side windows car always be raised, never had any bugs; that's what the windscreen is for. No leaks or need for top replacement as vert top have come a long way over the years. I think the new top should be quite good for those that want a vert.Reasons not to get a convertible:
- They're much easier / more tempting break into, since you just need a knife to slit the cloth with.
- They're much more rattle-prone.
- Visibility is worse (with the top up).
- It's harder to clear snow off the top without scratching the top.
- The top needs to be replaced periodically.
- Leaks will eventually occur.
- Less protection in rollover accidents.
Reasons to get a convertible:
- The wind blowing in your hair as you cruise along would be nifty for about ten minutes until you get sick of the sun beating down on you and realize you can't hold a conversation or listen to music because of the wind noise and there are bugs flying into your car.
Perhaps if I lived in NYC or another large Metro Urban environment surrounded by "Hood Rats", I`d have similar concerns. Rattle -Prone, ever driven a late model Audi or BMW Convertible, rattles? Say what? Clearing off "Snow", where, here in South Florida? I`m looking forward for my first Blizzard! Leaks? You can`t get a leak caused by a faulty rubber door seal in a Coupe or Sedan? Safety from a roll-over in a crash? Air Bags and Seat/Shoulder belts should help but how often have (you) experienced a Roll-Over? Top needs to be replaced periodically? Unless it gets vandalized, during a typical 5 years period of ownership? As far as Visibility, the Fastback/Coupe has terrible blind spots from every direction. As far as looks and appearance goes, its all in the eyes of the beholder (but) nothing screams Mustang like a Convertible, sorry.Reasons not to get a convertible:

Exactly what "I" wanted to do, loose the Fastback/Coupe look for the much sleeker Convertible profile. NVH, Rigidity, Weight Gain? For typical street use and a Daily driver, wow! Excellent rationale.Loses the fastback looks, gains weight, increased NVH, decreased rigidity.
