Default Topless in the heat.....

Is it just my car, or is it really warm inside the s2k? The last few days, I've practically been roasting in my car, even with my top done. (Now guys, get your mind out of the gutter!)

I didn't want to use air conditioning because after I always use a/c, the normal fan air always feels so muggy and humid. And air conditioning with the top down?....that seems weird. Then again...I'm new at having a convertible. This car is my first convertible...and it never occured to me that it might be hot inside even with the top down.

For those of you that have had your s2k through a summer before....what's the way to drive anyways? Its not even summer...and I'm HOT already.

I know you said that you don't want to do it, but when it's too hot, I turn on the air conditioner, even with the top down. Sounds weird, but feels good.

I found it hot inside the S2K too when I first got it. I think it's got to do with the engine being so close to you (I think) and it being so low ( heat rises)

yeah.. keep the A/C on with the fan blowing out of the top and bottom.... the convertable option on the fan doesn't blow cold air into your face

I feel fine!



Personally, I've never used the AC and I couldn't see myself ever really using it... I think it was put in for the times when you get stuck in traffic on a 100 degree day so you can put the top up and not suffer heatstroke.


( Happens sometimes to people in convertibles with no A/C )
