I've been interested in the T350 for some time, but still can't seem to make up my mind about whether to go for the coupe or the targa. Any advice? Are there any known issues with regards to the targa tops leaking?
If/when I do get one it will be left on the road (and a busy one at that) so I'm also concerned about security. Obviously nothing can be done about some idiot keying the car (this happened to anyone?), but how good are the standard factory alarms, and can anyone recommend added security measures for someone in my situation.

And now for the really stupid question, for which I'm prepared to take a slating (and defend!). I'm not in a position where I can have the T350 as a second car. Unfortunately, my other hobbies usually involve bikes (non-motorized variety), so does anyone know of any means of carrying a bike on the back of a T350?!

Enjoying the forum btw - lots of useful info on here.

The alarm is CAT 1 perhaps get a Tracker as well though, just for peace of mind.

I have heard nothing but disappointment about various things relating to the Targa panels...

But then there WILL be someone who will be along in a moment to suggest that they are best things ever...

Thule do a special rack convertor for the roof of 2 door cars - one ought to fit a T350. I wouldn't hang anything on the back.

The targa panels shouldn't leak if fitted properly - there is a lip preventing any water coming in. With the panels out in the summer the drive is lovely - not quite a full convertible, but then if you wanted a convertible and added a roll cage you'd be in the same situation.
