I like sidemounts because I can lean into them when I'm working on the engine or putting in gas.
However, they look best on fancy cars like Town Sedans and DeLuxe Roadsters. They kind of detract from the simplicity on most A's.
And, if you have a Victoria, don't trade the spiffy cocked rearmount for sidemounts. You'd be trading the model's distinguishing feature for something that all the other A's can have.
