Maybe your definition of really hot and mine are different. Having the top down here in Houston when it's "really hot" is a miserable experience. I mostly put the top down at night or early morning, and the rare, perfect fall/spring day.

Bicycle riding is another story, but sitting in traffic is no fun during the summer months. My wife will drive the S2000 once in a while during Winter, Spring, or Fall but never in the summer.
yeah, I don't want to broil, so my top is mostly up.

I'm not a topless diehard. Actually, I'd be just as happy with a coupe, but I do enjoy it on the rare occasions when the weather is right. I'm on my thirteenth year of top-down cars, '88 targa, '97 miata, '04 mazdaspeed miata.
