Reply to "Speedster driving with the top up. What's it like and how is the visibility?"

@Benjamin, you're getting great advice and there's no doubt that @chines1 will help you find that sweet spot you seek.

I just wanted to touch on your point about getting out of the sun. We have similar temps, but even more intense sun in the summer (1500 miles above the equator). We have AC and run it on occasion, but mostly just wear good hats. I mostly wear a ball cap, but pull out my crocodile dundee (w/chin strap) if I'm going on a long (2-3 hrs) ride in mid-summer. It gives better sun protection.

We put the top up and run without the side windows (AC on) maybe 2-3 times a year the sun is particularly intense and we're going to be out for a while in the heat of the day. All of the suggestions above make it no real problem.

You'll find the comfort zone and after you get familiar with your car, you'll know what to do in any weather.

You know your car is going to be great coming from Carey!
