I just realized today that I hardly ever drive with my top UP but with the windows DOWN. Usually, it's one of these combos:


Top Down/Windows Down
Top Down/Windows Up
Top Up/Windows UpI find that typically, if it's warm enough to to with the windows down and the top up, that it's usually warm enough to justify top down/windows up. (I don't have a wind deflector, so I can't factor that into all the combos!)

Anyway, I was curious if most of you were similar to me, or if you did find yourselves going windows down top up.


Oh, and leave the HARDTOPS out of this. My question is about the SOFT top up with windows down. Obviously, if you have the hard top on, you don't have the "touch of a button" option of droppin the roof as the temp changes.

I'm with you buddy...if it's warm enough to have the windows in the d o w n position, then drop the top...

Plus my dog ears are flapping, and it's annoying with the windows down...gotta re-string those this winter.

It all depends how far I'll be driving. If I'm only going several miles and have to put the top back up for security, I normally don't bother putting it down. Times like this I will have all windows open. Fortunately, that doesn't happen very often. If I'm driving my BMW, I find reasons to extend my trip,errands, etc.

+1 ....also drive with the top up and windows down when my car is dirty.
