Here I am in NY looking at the ground covered in snow. . I am originally from Cuba and lived there until 1960 fleeing because of bearded bastard that ruined the country, Fidel. Pablito how I envy you!!! driving the car in the beach with an ocean view of the beautiful and clear and warm Caribbean water must be almost sinful. You are a most fortunate guy.
Usually when the temperature is over 50 and sunny I lower the top and blast the heater high. Nothing like going to work and returning from work with the top down. I used to crank the music loud but when the top comes down I now prefer listening to the symphony produced by the engine. I would say from March to November is when the top is mainly down. I'm already counting the days for the top to come down.

Living in Melbourne, Australia, I can drive with the hood down all year round. I need extra heating on if it's less than 17C, hood down and aircon on when it's hotter than +30C and the hood comes back up at anything over 35C. It just gets too hot then. The weather is really changeable here, so sometimes when I leave the office it can be sunny, and half way home at the lights I have to put the hood up because it has started to rain. Gotta love it.

There are loads of Boxsters here and most of the 911's are convertibles.

When it isn't raining, the top goes down. I keep a coat and hot in the car always incase it is too cold!

On Boxing Day I drove from Derbyshire to Lancashire with the top down in the snow. Not actually snowing, but lots of it on the ground (see my avatar). It was very refreshing.

Looking froward to summer though, it's nice to be able to drive with the top down without the heater being on full-blast and several layers of clothes on!
