Always down. . .

Never up. . .

Never. . .

It's just something deep inside of me on why I do this. . .

There is a top to this car I was told there were no windows and no top - one of the benefits to living in Central Florida. The other benefit to windows and top down, at 4pm every afternnon in Orlando you can take your daily shower. Drag along a towel and bar of soap, BANG, instant cleanliness

when the top is down and the windows are up it just looks so bad. No offense to anyone, but i just think it looks goofy.

I personally love the way it looks with the top down and windows up...For those of you who have seen the Best Motoring video of the Black S2 going zero to sixty witht eh top down and windows up it just looks meaner/more aerodynamic

Depends on how hot it is and how much traffic. It it's over 100 - windows up, top up, AC on turbo! If it's under 100, and not in traffic - windows and top down. Under 100 and traffic - top down and windows up. If it's over 80 I usually run the AC even with the top down. You know, when you get older you can't take all those temperature changes!

If I'm on along drive on the highway at 80+. (every week) I put both windows up even with the tops of the mirrors. It really lowers the wind and noise.

I tend to shy away from keeping the windows up, except when it's really cold because i believe (could be wrong) eventually the downforce of wind on the window will losen the track that holds the window - eventually leading to a poor seal and dare I say it, leaks.

Why buy a convertible if you are going to leave the windows up?
If the top is down, the windows are down.
