in the s2 is it annoying to drive with the top down on a highway doing 100 or 110?

like how long does it take to get annoying etc?

I expect it's subjective, but I don't find it annoying at any speed.

If the storm doesn't have a name my roof is down.

its really not that bad, if its a nice day. Putting the windows up helps

I leave the windows up on freeway drives.
But windows down on normal roads.

Personally don't find top down annoying at all.

what aus said, if my top's up the storm better have a name.

freeway with the top down is awesome as is driving at night with the top down.

If you leave the windows up you can drive top down in the rain at speeds over 70km/h w/o getting any water into the cabin.

swap your strikers over, it will reduce the noise alot.

i did a quick DIY on it in teh DIY thread, it's basically swapping over the metal bits that the roof latches attach to, because they get worn over time the noise increases but if u swap em over its like new again! no wind noise at speed.

dont worry you dont have them on echos, pajeros, or civics...thats why you haven't heard of them!!
