On all year except for once in the spring and once in the fall for a week at a time, then it's right back on.

I have never taken mine off- I have never had the desire in the 5+ years of ownership. What kind of hardtop is it?

Spend some time with it and with it removed to figure it out. Despite the assertions above its a matter of preference. Overrated is subjective. IMO the hardtop's overrated. Do what works for you. Polling others won't determine your preference for you.

If you don't like having a convertible then just keep the hardtop on.

What he said. I thought about buying a hardtop because they look nice, but it seems like a complete waste for me. The car is garaged all winter, and I LOVE driving with the top down whenever the weather permits. For me, not being able to put the top down one day because I had the hard top on would irritate me, and I'd spend far too much time taking it on and off. I'm sure after you get the car, you'll be able to decide whether you want to keep it or sell it.

i have no desire to drive with the top down so the hardtop stays on all the time.
