Great design feature
Anyone else love that the windows can be down at highway speeds with very minimum wind noise and zero pressure thump?
Out of all the cars, including convertibles, Ive owned this is the best for windows down cruising. I just returned from a trip through the Rocky Mountains and a good portion was enjoyed windows down at 70mph. Loving it. |

That's super cool. But sometimes there's that sweet spot where there's very little wind turbulence with the windows down. And then there's that spot at like 50 MPH that it sounds like the wind is destroying your ear drums!

Absolutely love the windows down action on this car. 70mph I can hear my car, wheels, road, emergency vehicles, and my music. Perfect.

I noticed this too, that when it's really hot there is absolutely no cooling off with the windows down. Brings the max windows-down-cruising temperature down quite a bit. But it probably speaks for the aerodynamics of the car, which ultimately is worth it.

as an aside, I used to love to ride in the back of my Dad's or Grandpa's pickup against the cab when it was raining for that same experience. Stopping always sucked though!
