It's especially nice to have the top down with heated seats!

Umm, well in Palo Alto in May it would rain almost every morning from about 5-6:30am. So, not sure you really want to leave your top down if its outside.

Driving at night with the top down is, as most people agreed, awesome. Seat heaters and HVAC keep it enjoyable when it hits 40s. 99% of the time I put the top up when I park, day or night. You never know about jealous people.

I keep the hard top on during winter months, even though the temp. is okay for top down driving, I just like having the hard top for the rain.

I don't really miss the heat seaters I had in the RSX. Even when it's been -20 or -30 outside, it hasn't been that bad at all.

I guess when the top is down it'd be a nice feature though... just the heated seats going without having to use the HVAC.

i agree with you.

since i've gotten my hardtop (the beginning of last summer), i've probably taken it off six times, and only two of those times have been during the day. i don't like the idea of everyone staring inside the car.
