Jeff--
I'm not saying you've never owned a convertible, but if you haven't it's
like flying.
The bonus I never counted on was night driving with the top down. I thought
it
would be all about the daylight driving and the sun and the fun--and that
was great too.
But the nights are the real payoff in my opinion.
(My convertibles were bigger than the Fiat; 1952 Plymouth and a 1966 Mercury
Monterey.)

I never owned a Fiat. I love the design and look of the 124.
I'll leave some space here for someone else if they want to talk you out of
it:

Best,
Jeff
