I had it down Wednesday night for a 10 mile drive from a bar back to my house. It was about 35F. With the windows up and heater on I felt fine. Got some strange looks, though.

Definitely above 40, but not unheard of below (I voted 40). Like some others, a lot depends on the sky condition. Just last week, I had it down right around 40 and with a beautiful sunny sky, I was cozy warm. It felt great. (First time since first of the year, I think.)

Does it scream "look at me, I have a convertible?" Beats me. Do I care? Not in the least... For me, it's more like "this is why I bought a convertible!"

55 and above. The top stays up if I have to wear a jacket/coat.

Drove home with the top down today. The sun was out and it was 38F. As always it was fantastic. I love the looks that I get when I drop the top at a stop light, especially when it's cold outside.

Anything above freezing, and as long as the roads are dry, top is down.

I've actually had this opportunity a few times since I got my car in December... can't wait til its actually spring/summer.

Any temp.
I ride my topless yellow Honda in blizzards (with a blade) and it doesn't even have a heater.

I did the same thing also. As long as that heater was on high, it was fine. Hoping I can take her out today before we get the next round of this winter crud.

As long as the heater works and the is not an artic wind in the air, then the top is down.
