Talking POLL: Top up vs. top down

POLL: Top up vs. top down

There seems to be quite a big difference in how a Boxster "feels" with the top up vs. with the top down.

So how do you perceive the car with the top up vs. having the top down?

I fit better in the car with the top down, so maybe that makes for a bias for top down feel

I feel a bit claustrophobic with the top up. But, at the end of a top-down day with 100 miles to go to get home, nothing feels better than the snug feeling of the top up.

I can feel the sun, and hear the engine better. What the downside?

Besides messed up hair
