The convertible has pooere rear vision than the coupe.
Having the rear cross traffic warning and rear camera are essential in my opinion with the vert, though I also beleive they are also important in any vehicle.
Rear vision doesn’t concern me with camera and the decent mirrors
Exiting 45+ degree junctions to turn right is tough as zero visibility, so you learn to square them like van drivers need to.
Of course roof down there’s more visibility than the coupe :)

Subtle enhancements to create the car I wanted from SVR nose cone, 400 series side skirts & customised 'design' rear bumper, to heated SVR steering wheel and more

Mine is a daily driver and I have the top down when it is not raining in winter. I went for the convertible and brand new in a 4 over a similarly priced 6 used pre-owned. Yes sometimes I wish I had the 6 instead but for most daily driving the top down is more a plus for me.

I’m right on the cusp of buying a convertible but it has the infotainment system and as some have mentioned, with the roof down you can’t see anything on the screen for the reflections. Has anyone found an anti reflection film that does the trick over the top?

I’ve tried a couple but they’ve only made it worse.

Have just put up with it and have found that if you can’t see it the passenger can and vice versa.
