I must admit, though I do not have it, it might be the only convertible that wins both, up and down! I just wish he had better gas mileage and felt a little sportier

Wow a nine year old thread revived. Any convertible I've owned or own. I only drive when I can drop the top. So I guess I have too say better with the top down. For me I figure if I have to drive with the top up, I might as well drive one of my other cars.

I agree to both, up or down. Same car, same handling, & you can put the top up or down anywhere along the way.

Obviously 'both' is a default answer on this thread, to me down looks more classy with rich leather/wood interior...and a blonde

To me whether the top is up or down, the rich leather/wood interior is still there. If my wife would approve a blonde as well.

A winter morning, frost on the ground, steam rising from the sun-kissed earth, an icy nip in the air.

The seats warm slowly as a low burble of engine notes rise up to complete the symphony of sight, sound, and smell.

There are no thoughts of absent blonde friends as I sit deep inside my SC430 heading towards a climax of speed, rubber, and road...................................................

I think that is a vote for roof down
