The "Fun Factor" of a convertible !?

I bought a '93 convertible last week for the wife. I drive an '89 9000T. I think that the 900 convertible is a work of art..... beautiful to behold at any angle, and the " fun factor" of a convertible is fantastic.....BUT!!!!
Why after so many years of making convertibles is there excessive:
1. Body flex
2. Creaking of the plastic components of the dash..(obviously related to 1.)
3. Lack of power (2.1 litre non turbo)...I know, buy a turbo!
4. Poor handling.
When I go back to my ageing 9000T, I instantly lose the "fun factor" ( in terms of the wind in my hair and the eye catching), but its a real pleasure to drive.
