Canuck here, and we rarely see anything above 35C, anything above 30C is down right hot for us. I've been burnt a few times this summer because of driving top down. If I wasn't in heavy stop and go traffic I would have the top down over 35C. Some occassions where I've been worn out by drving with the top down all day, I have to put the top up or I'll have a headache.
The top is always down except for when I work a shift starting in mid-afternoon. Its 20 miles of highway to work, so my front side stays well air-cooled, but my back gets wet and sweaty. Kind of embarassing to leave a wet spot on chairs when you lean back on them!
There are a few cars out that have ventilation fans built into the seats--some Caddies and some Bimmers, I think. I toyed around with the idea of trying to retrofit some 12V fans into the seats, but it turned into a lot more trouble than I'd thought.
Someone can make a lot of money by coming out with some aftermarket seats with butt heaters (winter) and vent fans (summer) built in.
is there a way to edit your vote? i picked the wrong one!
my top is always down (except for mornings drives to work :T ). i love my tanning machine & my passengers have no say!
Down always...........that way the SUV drivers can see my tach hitting 9k..............if you want your top up buy a Z06. If you are worried about Don King hair - get a hair cut.
You guys who put the top up in the morning or when it's hot are a bunch of wimps.
Mine stays down unless there is water coming into the interior.
Last year when I drove through the Southern California desert at about 110 degrees, I discovered how well the air conditioner really works with the top down but windows up.
You know.... I wanted to vote both Top Up & Top Down -- cause I can't help but go back and forth not being able to make up my mind. Cause to put top up, you gotta turn on A/C which slows down the car big time, and to put the top down means more power in the low revs, but with an uncomfortable feeling of getting majorly sunburned. A/C + Heat Soak is not cool. I hate HOT days! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
