I've driven mine top down in high 30s low 40s, with a jacket and beanie + heater it's not so bad.

The question I have to live with more often is, when is it too HOT to have the top down? For me, that's abut 90-95 depending on humidity.

Top down FTW! Always top down here even when its mid 30s (hasn't gone below that yet).

Only time the top is up is when:

1. Its raining
2. I'm not dressed properly (as in not dressed warm) on long trips.
3. I have a fairy for a passenger who complains about it being too cold.

Dress warm. Use gloves and jacket. Crank the heater up.

Oh, and VTEC often (PLEASE don't do this when tires are cold or when weather doesn't permit).

Looks like a lot of people aren't afraid of the cold!

I think I'll try to lower the top on Wed this week it'll be about 50 for a high here in MN. Clearly the top can be down but I'll probably keep the windows up. I'll probably get a few looks but it'll be fun.

I generally don't gomuch below 40 because the manual says not to drop the top under 40, but I'm top down all winter - that's why God made coats and gloves.

Just my stupid opinion, but personally I think it's effin retarded when I see someone with the top down, windows up, heat blasting, scarf, hat, etc. I say if it's cold enough that you need to blast the heat and put the windows up, then it's too damn cold to have the top down. I guess it's kind of a pet peeve of mine, but then maybe it's just because I'm too much of a pu**y to do it myself
