I am top down almost always and have no problem with the wind noise. Over about 65 mph, I usually turn the radio off and enjoy the great outdoors. When I have an extended trip on the highway at 75 to 85 mph, I will then put the windows up to reduce any buffeting, but the top stays down unless it starts to get wet.

 

the biggest noise difference and this would affect any convertible or car with their window down is if there are many other cars beside you with loud tires. its night and day when im driving on the hwy alone. damn peaceful, imo.

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback! I really need to go test drive again. I enjoy the wind and the sun, just would like to be able to hear myself think.
