I test drove my car with the hood up and sides off, mainly because I had been playing with the hood in the showroom and couldn't be bothered to take it off again. It was a bit draughty if i recall. I will be needing a new hood soon and I may have a zip out rear screen fitted, so for the hottest days for long trips i can hood up to keep out of the sun, and reduce the buffeting by letting the wind out of rear screen. I used to use this configuration on my mx5 sometimes after I got a bad dose of sunburn on a long hot drive.
