- Awkward ingress - requires high step in
- Lack of cargo space for luggage, groceries, etc.
- Noisy - road, wind, engine, and tire noise
- Firm suspension results in a stiff, bumpy ride
- Rear visibility can be a challenge with the top on
- Slow steering
- Tall, boxy profile is not aerodynamic meaning greater wind resistance & wind noise
- Uncomfortable front seat positions for taller drivers
- Everything is an "option" - carpet, steel doors, rear seat, etc.
- Outdated appearance of gages and switchgear

- Rear-view mirror is in the line of vision for taller drivers
- Windshield wipers remain in the upright position when "off"

- If you're riding without the top/sides, you must always be prepared for rain - plastic bags are a lifesaver for your gear
- Cramped rear seating
- Lack of side mirrors when you take off the doors
