Not me.

I want to keep the new car smell as long as possible.

I have a 1998 ZR2 Chevy truck that smelled new until about 5 years ago.
Once that new smell is gone, well.............:shrug:

I need to try this more often. From time to time I crack the windows, but never really drive with it/them all the way down.

After all Atlanta, GA gets HOT at times

I drive with the windows down a lot. Shoot, sometimes I’ll even drop the top...Sounds like you could be a convertible guy some day.

Just got back from Indy, in my new 18, I think its one of the LOUDEST cars ever! with windows down, even though I >like< driving with them down, I think its super loud, cant hear the radio, either, actually thought about putting my motorcycle ear plugs in, that I had in my jacket pocket. but just kept going.....

I'm gonna slightly disagree here. I love to drive with both windows down, but where I drive on the highway...I don't know if it's location or what, but the wind is conveniently always blowing perpendicular to the direction I'm traveling in and it's really annoying. Always have to raise the passenger window up and leave it cracked to enjoy the highway drive.

Or with the roof down. ;) Amusingly, at least on the highway, the top goes down & the windows go back up. :)

Windows down for me also plus I get the added bonus of hearing my' Corsa Extreme' exhaust, who needs a radio when you can appreciate the sound of a V8 !:D

Always drive with the windows down. The white noise of the wind conveniently masks any rattles in the car, plus you can hear the exhaust better.

Course I think my hearing is on its way out, but it is a small price to pay....

After four years of ownership, my OCD over this one was killing me so I had to part with it.

I drive with my windows down all the time, but I'm very OCD about keeping my interior spotless, so if it's dusty or there's a lot of pollen out, I will put them up. Today when I went out to my car I realized the windows were down, I must have accidentally hit my key fob and put them down last night. Luckily, even though it sat out all night with the windows down, there was no pollen and it didn't rain. I panicked thinking the whole interior would be covered in dust or pollen since it's been really bad the past few weeks. I still vacuumed and wiped down everything, but it seems fine. I'll have to make sure to double check the windows every night now.

I haven't rolled down the windows once since I got them tinted shortly after driving off the lot. Don't want them to get scratched. Anyone else crazy like me?

Nope, my windows are tinted and I always drive with the windows down. I've never even used my A/C except I think the day I bought it to make sure it worked.

Windows down all the time for me, except when it is really cold or I am on the freeway.

Air really does flow well around the car and doesn't get too windy inside. I ran a wet track session where we had to keep the windows down, and the interior stayed almost completely dry

Heck, I've even been known to drive with the window down, and the AC on. :) There's one thing I've noticed about our 2018 Vert. It has more rear window bounce than our previous 13. I can stop easily, but I found it odd as the designs is basically the same.
