i drive on highways and never get a headache, but on freeways in town with rushing traffic, you better bring some asprin. it's the noise from other cars as you pass them. so truthfully it doesn't bother me unless there's alot of cars that you pass.

but it's a blast to drive. at alittle above the speed limit with the top down.

That's my biggest problem, I enjoy driving it so much that I seem to forget that there are any speed limits. I must average 85 - 90 on the highway. My driver's license is becoming nervous.

A bad sales day, stock market dropped 20 points, an argument with the wife, dealing with the DMV, all these may give you a headache......as soon I slide behind "runt's " steering wheel and pull away as my top slides down all those nuances just melt and blow away with the wind.....rushing by at around 90mph.

No Headache Here......

Headache with Top Down

I drive the Rte 15 from LV to SD once a month. Six hours with the top down at highway speed gets to you after a while; its not just the wind, but the trucks and other traffic. My solution? ear plugs. With ear plugs (and windows up if it is windy) I truly enjoy the ride. For short rides and commute, you would not need them.

If you think it's bad with the top down, I'll take you for a spin in the Jeep - try it with no doors too

Talking

If you are driving on a typical freeway with your top down, the road noise is pretty severe, could generate a headache for sure.

On other roads, not an issue.

This is a convertible issue, not a Boxster issue.
