Ohhhh Fancy ratrollas.
You got the wrong angle style. It should be IS first… seniority + respect.

Wasn’t cold at all, but that’s probably due to how amazing the aero is on the LC. You can drive it year round with the top down and there’s little to no wind inside the cabin even at highway speeds.

Wish I can say the same about the NC. It's basically James May inside all the time. "Buffeting, buffeting, buffeting..."

I'm surprised because for the most part, I found the NC has some very good aero to deflect most of the air away from the cabin. You need put the windows up, and you need to wear a hat. But once I do both of those things, I can crank up the heat and drive top down in some pretty chilly weather while being perfectly comfy.
(With the top and the windows down, I wouldn't drive faster than 50km/h unless I was in a motorsports situation LOL~)

I found the NB worse for buffeting and the ND slightly better but those are pretty small differences. The 718 I had last year was better than all of them but still too loud to talk.
Re: weather for top down. I've always dropped the top if it was warmer than zero and there was sun. I paid for that droptop and I'm gonna use it. Crank the heater and put on a jacket and let's go!

(With the top and the windows down, I wouldn't drive faster than 50km/h unless I was in a motorsports situation LOL~) | When it was hot, I would have all windows down and it can get loud. Around town it's mostly ok top down windows up. But wife really didn't like it when we took it to Coquitlam for dinner and was doing about 100-110 on the highway. It was loud and her hair was all over the place. Quote:

Crank the heater and put on a jacket and let's go! | I agree with the top down all the time. I've had some extended time in a ND soft top as well. It's not hugely better than a NC. Can't really beat physics/fluid dynamics.
