Re: scirocco convertible..
As far as I'm concerned, the basic rule of convertibles is: never buy a convertible that wasn't designed as such from scratch by the manufacturer. This rules out nearly everything except the occasional roadster (MX-5, MR2, Elise etc). Anything else is, as you say, going to be less stiff, heavier and slower.

Re: scirocco convertible..
I kinda like the mk2....cant make my mind up about the mk1 though. i think the colour and wheels make the mk2 stand out.
Re: scirocco convertible..
I had a Storm mk2 convertible... Had it converted in Exeter Devon, it was a B reg and went like greased weasel sh#t... Absolutely loved it ... It certainly turned heads and wished I still had it.. The only down side was that when the hood was down it became a 2 seater. It didn't have much of a twist as the conversion people pit a bar between the two inside front arches that crossed the engine.. I hear now it's quite a rare car ... Oh well :(
