Chicago - Test Drove Today and Undecided about Which One

I have a reservation and I did a test drive today in Lincolnwood. First, I really liked the car and it surprised me.

My problem now is over model. I reserved a Passion. Now I'm wondering about the Cabriolet. A convertible would be nice, but my gut tells me that it is too impractical for Chicago.

This car would also be my only car. So, I'm not sure what to do.

Also not sure if I should just stick with my reservation or put myself on the waiting list for an orphan.

why not do BOTH? it's not costing you to get on the 'orhpan' list, is it? if not, go for it too. maybe a Cabriolet will come in that you just HAVE to have and someone else will take your Passion Coupe....like ME!

They do charge for the ophan list, I think I've convinced myself to go for the coup. I'm got half a year wait ahead of me anyway.
