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.

You need a full soft-top (yes, like a chim), a bike will fit accross the back shelf (with the roof off).

Targas don't leak. If you you look at the fittings/roof shape it would be hard for them to do so if fitted correctly.

Carrying a bike - well I wouldn't hang anything off the rear window as it would probably pull it off the car. Perhaps a Thule roofrack with the special adapter they provide for 2 door cars would work? I was investigating this as my brother is looking at buying a recent model 200sx and wants to carry a kayak/bike too. As long as the rack 'legs' are long enough to allow clearance of the targe panels I think this would work.
