Impact on trunk space with the top down? Thanks in advance for your input!
My wife has a 230 convertible; there is noticeably more road noise than in my 240 coupe, but it's still quieter than (or at most as loud as) my Honda Odyssey. Trunk space is not terribly compromised; there's a small compartment that flips down to accept the roof in the folded position, but the trunk is still big enough to fit a set of golf clubs behind that and there's space underneath that compartment as well for shorter objects. Shouldn't affect most daily use or even grocery runs. Runs to BJ's or Costco's to stock up on toilet paper however will be an issue (with or without the top down).
