Default I go top down all the time.
If it's sunny, I've had the top down when was as low as 40, of course the seat warmers and heat blowing on the hands helps. My top speed was with the top down, 120.

Default o2bnme's driving analyzed...
1. I drive harder with top down => you are more in tune with driving dynamics
2. I tend to accelerate in the turns and coast in the straights => :-D

I do! I think it's the improved peripheral vision that makes me feel more comfortable.
