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.
My driver-side window is cracked or down pretty much all of the time as long as it isn't raining. If it's hot outside, I rock the AC and cooled seats. If it's cold outside, I rock the heater and the heated seats.

The new car smell is nice and all, but fresh air is amazing. I probably would have been happy in a Vert hah.

I had the top down and the windows down on the highway today... it was SO nice out around 7 pm in the DC metro...

Most people like to put their windows up in the vert when driving on the highway... I like the wind blowing all over the place. Although, I did lose something, which I believe was white, today. Maybe a receipt... I hope. :lol:

I’m with you, jtmat...today I drove top-down from Manassas to Rehoboth top & all windows down all the way! The wind-deflector eliminates the cabin turbulence so fortunately nothing has ever blown out. Crossing the Bay Bridge is always fun but AWESOME with the top down!

Best car I've ever had for windows down driving. Even the wife thinks so.

I love listening to the Mustang song although my new office location requires mostly highway driving so it's not nearly as enjoyable as it used to be.

I've found myself keeping the radio pretty low and listening to the engine and exhaust more than anything. I did drive home from Orlando one afternoon with the radio blaring and the top down running about 80+ on the 417 and I-4. When I got out of the car, I felt like I had been at a concert all afternoon.

Eww. Forgot about that. no top down for 3 days. :-(

That was one nice thing about the Audi TT, it just dropped the windows an inch to lower the top. I didn't have to wait for them to go down all the way to lower the top. It's like the Mustang can't do 2 things at once.

Windows down is a necessity since my AC never works right any more.

It's my preferred way of driving, so long as I'm below 70 mph. Anything above that, and the wind noise gets too loud.

I have always been a keep the windows up kinda guy....... to keep the dust out and the new-car smell in.

This never happened with the Mustang for some reason. The stock exhaust for Australian bound Mustangs is so quite that from new a drivers window down situation was called for so as to hear the classic V8 growl that a Mustang should have.

Thing is, even after an exhaust upgrade, the window remains down. I just cant not drive this car with the window down and the rumble entering the cabin. Just makes me happy, and to hell with dusty cabin or new car smells!

Had my mum in the car a while ago. Knowing my somewhat anal approach to car care, turned to me and said "I know why you have the window down all the time on this car". Mother knows best...............
