I agree with everything he said, and I'd add that the engine sounds are more clear with the top up. It can be drowned out slightly by wind with the top down (or completely with the sunroof open.. worst mode EVER)

But when I wanna feel like a race driver, i leave the top up and the music down so that all i hear is glorious engine noise

(not that often i swear!!)
