Coldest you've had the top down for? (Come on now, I mean, top down while DRIVING, not sitting...)

To date, 8F, which I think is about -12C

Thoughts on the experience?

Not bad. The wind doesn't blow in the sides or the top. It DOES blow in thru the back, between the seats

It also tends to drive people nuts. Kids wave wildly, grownups either pull up along side and wave & smile, or steer WAY clear of the situation.

I to be honest dont record temparatures....but i drive a convertible....and have the top down at every (dry) opportunity......

This includes driving home from my current employment at midnight!!

I think if you operate the top at low temp it could hurt the top. Thats what the MINI Books say in the glove Box!
I don't think the top will hold up going up and down under 14 F, so i would watch what your doing!!
