No set temperature, but I will say the top is never down with the windows up.

Above 70 but rarely while on the freeway. The wind buffeting is crazy

Below about 60-65 and temps over 100 -- top stays on, windows stay up and heater or AC on as appropriate

60 with no jacket, 50 with a jacket.

Although, we have had it down below freezing. It was a beautiful night; full moon with snow everywhere except the road.

Personally for me, it is not the temp but is the number of beers before my top goes flying.

Saw a guy with the targa top off and it was about mid 40s. I thought that was a little brave and optimistic. Then I saw he had temp tags and thought.. ahh... he got a new toy and wants to enjoy it even though it's winter time.
