^^ yup.
i'd say you should just get one and drive it for a month or two before making this decision.
you might like driving top down so much you decide to save the $1500-$2000 on a hardtop (like i did).

They all come with soft tops. The hard top can be purchased through honda, or many aftermarket companies.
Not necessarily.. '08 and '09 had the CR.. no soft top

i don't see the big deal w/ a HT...i hate the s2000 w/ the top up, it's so stuffy and hard to see anything out of it. once the top comes down though you see the whole sky and everything is amazing...so i don't know how people drive around w/ the HT on 24/7.
only reason i'd get a ht is if i plan on driving it in winter since i won't put the top down anyway but in the warmer months it's never gona be on. the softtop isn't too bad either, just get it and if you really want a ht buy one later on.

When it gets below 90 here (Texas) the top does go down more often than not. If its 90-100 I might drop the top on a short trip.
I guess the real problem is I don't want to stink and be drenched in sweat when I get home, or to work or where ever I am going. This is my sole reason for leaving the top up the last 3 weeks. It's been 100+ here, and I have to wear business professional attire to work. I tried the "wear shorts and t-shirt" on the way in and back home, but I was still drenched and sweaty by the time I go to where I was going.
I am thinking of a hardtop for the weeks its too hot or cold to have the top down, I just cannot justify spending ~$2k on a top for those 6 weeks out of the year. I may buy one anyway just to have the option of doing convertible or coupe. To have something different.
Its 11:24pm, and it still 88 and 60A% humidity outside. The "feels like" temp is 96. At least that is what weather.com says right now. I would probably drop the top if I had someplace to go right now, its cool outside.
