Top down motoring continues to be a popular pastime for Canadians and others, especially at this time of year. It's a niche that was nearly dead some 20 years ago, yet now it flourishes. And that's great! It's always nice to have choices.
I'm not really a convertible guy, though I've owned a few - decades ago - and do enjoy driving the occasional drop top during my car reviewing duties. I'm more of a sunroof guy, though (or moon roof, though I've never managed to get my moon up through one); as I age I don't enjoy the sun beating down on me like I did when I was a kid - possibly a tribute to thinning hair. Heck, I even keep the sunroof closed, mostly, during the heat of the day; I'm more likely to open it once the sun has set, or during warm winter days such as those provided by Chinooks here in Alberta than during the hot scorchers of summer.
