I'm always driving with the windows/roof open...arm out, lounging.....but that's meMy beloved however prefers calmness.She has always been an A/C driverHow do you all drive?

on the highway lately, i definitely use the AC. it's like 102 here right now with a heat index approaching 120!!

Depends how hot it is, but usually it is all windows open. But the wife has to have everything up and A/C cranked.

Depends on the temp. And where I'm driving. On the Interstate it's too loud with the windows down. And right now, like DV, it's too damn hot. Ideally I like both. I know I know that isn't good, but there's nothing better than the moonroof open and the heater going when it's cool and crisp outside!

My limit is usually 90°F before I turn on the A/C. Otherwise I have the windows down to enjoy the breeze unless I am going 75-80 on the freeway then I will put the windows up sooner.

A combo of that! Both! I prefer to have the windows down and roof open as much as I can but that all depends on the temps.

face down, windows up, that's the way we like to...oh nevermind!

ok LUDACRIS!!!

usually windows and roof.

Windows up with A/C, unless it's less than 70 degrees and I'm driving less than 35 mph. Windows are always up on the freeway.

It's not so much that I have a desperate need to run the A/C, I just don't like the noise of having the windows open. For slower driving of 40 mph or less, I don't mind having the windows down, assuming the temp is moderate. I like a nice quiet comfortable drive...

windows up on my minivan. lol on the vibe on the other hand, i love to use the sunroof. turn off the a/c button and turn off the receirculation. so i get wind from outside without the windows open. but only if it isn't too hot.plus, i get great engine sound from my so called costum scoop.

I like to open the sunroof on my way to work in the morning, but in the afternoon I gottan use the A/C. Sometimes I like to turn on the A/C and tilt the sunroof. I know it does not make sence, but I do it anyway.

Windows down, roof open (ventvisor windguard cuts down on wind noise)... stereo way up!

I never touch the A/C in my car unless it's raining. I hate having the windows down, even in the winter I roll with the windows down atleast half way. If I'm dating a girl obsessed with her hair I garentee it wont last long I don't have a sunroof though I wanna get one of those rag tops that stretch the length of the roof though that wouold be wonderful!

Window all the way down...(even though I do have long hair )I have to hear the car, and in case of sirens.A/C only when it's raining, extra humid or no wind.

It reminds me of that one VW commercial where the guy gets in touch with his "FAST" and leaves the window down even though his girls hair is blwing everywhere.

i do both but it really depends on temp and humidity. i really try and do allwindows down and stereo up. wish i had the sun roof but im with Merzbow on the sunroof thing but id get the full glass one.

It is usually to hot and humid to have them open, but if the temperature is below 75 degress and I'm not on the freeway, I like the roof and windows open. I only get to take advantage of that about 4 months out of the year due to warm temps.

yea especially this month real hot and humid espsecialy in the mornin.

when we're not regularly seeing 100+ temp days (so like from october - maybe april) i like to crack my windows and open the sunroof. most of the time here though i've got to keep the a/c cranked to keep from melting into my seats.

I have the A/C & recirculate on all the time. It will be that way until around November....maybe into December. When the cool air comes it's such a nice relief from the heat & humidity, although alot of you have worse heat than FL lately. Ya'll need to come down to FL to cool off. There's usually a nice breeze when the hurricanes make landfall **sigh**

the ventilation system in these are very good. Good air flow, strong fan. the windows are rarely down. But sometimes the roof is open...if anything.

windows down, moonroof open, volume set to "eardrum annihilation". if there's no wind when i'm at a red light, i'll put the a/c on just to get some air movement, but turn it off when i start goin again. the windows are only up if i'm on the freeway(like everyone's said), because the a/c can actually improve my gas mileage in that situation. oh yeah and when i'm on the phone sometimes
