Coupe vs. Cabrio

Can anyone advise if the coupe is more quiet than the cabrio?

There are several threads comparing the coupe vs the cabrio. In a nutshell, of course any hardtop will be a quietier then the corresponding soft top 'vert. Whether it makes a difference for the driving experience you after, that'll be your personal choice.

I first thought I wanted a cabrio and then ended up with a coupe. I really do think that in the long run the coupe is going to be the better choice. The large panoramic roof is better 99% of the time.

Agreed. Same thoughts.

The cabrio is slightly noisier than a coupe. But not by much. Both are going to be noisier than say a Toyota Corolla because of its size and short wheelbase.
