Default driving with the top up

Is it hard to drive the s2000 with the top up? Enough head room and visibility?

at first, it felt really small, but after a couple weeks, i was driving with the top up everyday. the small space you have really grows on you, and you learn to enjoy the tight space you're in (your own cockpit).

like with any sports car, there will be limited visibility. I know of few.. well, none off the top of my head that would have visibility issues of some sorts. it all depends how you sit in the car, how tall you are, etc. sit in one and see if it works for you.

It's not that bad. The thing that sucks the most is the road noise. I haven't experienced a summer with it yet, but it was 85 today, and had the A/C on. If your
not familiar with the desert heat, it feels alot hotter when the sun is baking on you.
I guess I would rather have the warmth over the cold spell that is happening in the mid west. .

I forgot what they were called, but many people have talked about some aftermarket mirror that helps elminate the blind spot.
I have to admit, I hate driving the car with the top up..visibility is terrible.
