Targa all the way! I rarely ever put my top on my car, it stays at home most of the time. Also, Targa leaks are not that hard to fix.
To targa or not to targa?

It's clearly a matter of personal preffrence.
I've had a 91T w/ power sunrrof, 89T w/ Targa and now a 89T w/ Hardtop which I'm currently driving.
They all have their benefeits. All in all, I'd say the pro's and con's of each roof type balance out about the same.

For me, the Supra will remain a street car and that's why I wanted a targa instead of a hardtop. I wanted something I can enjoy while cruising, and really enjoy when going WOT. Yes, I want lots of power, good handling, etc., but it would be fine if I never took it to the drag strip or an AutoX. Plus, I've done the hardtop thing, so I wanted something different.
If I were you I'd buy the targa and drive it for a few months and see how you like it.... if you don't use the targa as much as you thought and the car disapoints you, then just sell it. Simple 
i drove with my targa off EVERY DAY during the spring/summer/and autum when it was nice out. Easy way for you lazy folk. Is when you park only screw down 1 bolt so no one can take ur top off. Flip the vixors so you can remember your targa is loose. Then just unscrew it and put it in the trunk. TARGA FTMFW!
I had a hard top
and i now have 2 targas. I wouldn't trade them for any hard top. I've got what they have plus the option to take the top off!

I've got a hardtop and love the way it handles compared to my cousin's targa. Then again, I like the look of the soup w/out a top on it and the extra engine noise and the feeling of openness. Bad part is the handling of the car without the top on. It's a love/hate thing when it's comes to the ht and targa. If I wanna drive around and enjoy a nice warm sunny day, I'll drive my cousin's targa. If I wanna race, it's the hardtop.
the WeezlWings are hotness, if you're getting a targa and want it braced. youre gonna have to do some serious something-or-other if you want one though, cause theyre impossible to come by.
never driven a targa, only my hardtop. so i have to say i want a targa, too.

my bro has a hardtop, i have a targa. ive driven both long distances on a good sunyn day and man oh man is it cool and the emotions you get when you drive w/o the targa on! man i lvoe my targa and will never get a car w/o one. even if it has to be custom
i couldnt own anything but a targa, i like the targa, if it was 50 or above and not raining/snowing here in missouri, i had it out.
I put the targa top on Celeste when she goes in the shed each fall and take it off when she comes out in spring. Parked in the garage when it's nasty out, I put the top on when I wash her and when i'm out looking for a race. The way I see it, if I wanted a full out race car I wouldn't have bought one with power everything and air conditioning. If I ever do buy a hardtop it will be a stripped down, light race car. Until then, targa all the way!

Instead of leaving visors down, I leave my targa tool in my seat. Gotta pick it up to sit down.
I love mine! Here's another advantage (imagined).........When doing work inside my Supra, I like the top to be off. This gives me less of a cramped feeling in there. I know I don't use the extra space, but it is a little more comfortable that way.
I LOVE having the targa...
Living near the beach, with summer on the way... I wouldn't have it ANY other way!!!!!
Plus, mine had all new seals when I bought it... so NO LEAKS!!!!!!!!

I :love: My Hardtop.
Sure, being able to pop it off on a Sunny, 90 degree day is nice...but I'd much rather sacrafice not having a targa for not having to worry about chassis flex, less weight, and...given the seals are 18+ years old, probably leaks a tad.
I wouldn't hassle with swapping to a targa...
Besides, All my good ol' Supra buddies around here ALL have TT's...
Also, in America, I love how when someone is selling a Targa Top Supra, they put, "Rare removable top!" :runaway:

1. What's wrong with an Auto?
2. I have an Automatic Hardtop...You got beef?
Yeah. Everywhere I go, everytime I see, it's always a 5 speed Targa Top around here...
:Ninjaedit:
Yes, Chassis Flex is very noticable. Feels like the rear end of the car wants to like...go the other way...:icon_conf Really weird.
