In one big way, it's more fun to drive than a twin ....because ..... the top will go down ......

If getting rain bugs and poop in your car while enjoying deafening wind noise is fun then you are correct

Ever drive a convertible? They are indeed a blast even with the bugs and sudden rain (gradual rain just meant put the top up). Wind noise was never an issue with the top down but could be brutal with it up. I am not sure how the physics of that worked really. Can't say as I ever experienced any poop in the many years I drove one.

I had a Del Sol (targa top) and I think I had the top of twice on the highway. Never did it again. Was too loud and the sun was constantly in my eyes. Having a back window that rolled down was great though. Get good airflow without the noise or turbulence of having a side window open

Ya targa tops are not convertibles and are indeed noisy as hell when driving. It always baffled me how the noise with the top down was so little.

Nothing to get caught on I'm sure

Correct! Less turbulence is generated, and any that is generated with the top down is "silent" since its just air against air, not fabric.

On a related note, I have the opportunity to drive the Fiat 124 spider at the auto show over the next week in Cleveland. I'll let you guys know how it is. We'll see if they let me put the top down.

krayzie · 02-23-2017, 05:52 PM

You have to get that wind deflector window thing up in between the seats then the wind noise is a non-issue.

Lucky me I've never ate bugs or poop while driving or riding in a convertible. I've ate more bugs while riding my bicycle during the evening hours than anything.

So I guess the Miata RF isn't a good choice then since it's a targa? But it's a Miata that I can finally fit inside comfortably.

BTW I think the BRZ actually sits lower than the ND?

My Saab was fine with the top down... then again it had the general shape of a bubble...
