Thanks guys. I'm only 5'4", so it seems I may not have problems, as long as I keep to 80km/hr. That will give me a good excuse for the cops if I get caught at the speed in the city 
My old Accord had problems with water coming into the cabin when the front windows were open. My first few cars (1960s and 70s) had a low metal lip that stopped this, but the need for better aerodynamics has seen this removed in modern cars.

Nonsense. The S2k cabin stays dry from 80k up in any and all rain conditions. The only negative you may have is that you will get a fine misting of raindrops on the inside of the screen due to the aerodynamics of the vehicle.
I've been caught on the highway with the top down, and as long as I kept it over 70 or so, I was totally dry. The only water that got into the cabin was water running over the car's body panels and blowing into the interior. It's pretty fun to try and keep your speed up just high enough so you don't get wet!

I have found that depending on the speed and direction of the wind, I will get water running up the side window into the cab at highway speed either on the driver or passenger side.
