Just a word of caution while using a soft top: My experience has been that the visability to the sides can be quite limited if you are near/over 6' tall. Pretty difficult to see approaching traffic from right or especially the left at an intersection. Know where the blind spots are and allow for them, switching lanes to the left is another bad blind area. If you haven't driven with the top yet you will find the exhaust will be much louder inside the car. Know the limits in the field of vision and acknowledge the "NEW" blind spots in your mirrors. This is NOT a lecture, just some sound advice. It's an entirely different car with the top on.
