i wonder how buzz944 deals with the heat in KSA(Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), where temperatures can reach well over 100F.

AC fan is powerful enough to have the top down to make it tolerable in the warmest of summer days in the US, but works best with the top up.

summers are top down for me even on the most radiant of days, no AC, just take a couple of bottles of water and tuck them under the passenger seat. You'll sweat alot...lol...oh, wear a cap, sunglasses, and white t-shirts.
I live in Texas, it gets to 107º here.
Haha yeahhhh about not putting the top down... I am like damn it's hot! I put the top down and its like a bubble of heat escaping, from like 150º in your car to outside temp, and yeah I have black on black in Texas .
I wear a glove for the shift knob! No way am I touching that with my bare hand in the heat

That's child's play! I live in Vegas, we see anywhere from 112-120F in summer (they don't post the actualy temps for fear of scaring off tourists. f'reals)

OP, it will be hot, but not unbearable. The AC works pretty well since there's not a lot of cabin space to cool down. Don't worry and just enjoy the drive!

Just get a hardtop. You also get 1.5-2" of additional headroom over softtop.

Maybe I'm used to it, but it doesn't seem to get any hotter inside the S than it does in my tin roof DD. Also, with a hat and sunglasses, top down here in cFL is heaven in the summer.

I live in MD and it has been like 60's lately. Think it was 70 yesterday. I got my tint 2 days ago right when it started warming up (35% all around, 20% AS1 line) and the heat in my car has cooled off ever since
