Default convertible ??????

Not sure how to search for this one.

While driving at highway speeds with the top down can you hear the radio and/or talk with your passanger without yelling?

Other conv. cars that I have driven and owned this was a problem which is why I don't own or didn't buy them.

Thanks for the input.

yea, within reason, but again the mustang didn't come with a rear windscreen like some of the german cars. radio is fine, and I don't give a $hit about what the wife has to say! lol

Music yes. Conversation at 65 is not going to be that decent.

I've had several different convertibles and have to say this is one of the best as far as hearing music and having conversations, even against those that have had windscreens. That said, if I'm pushing it at highway speeds it takes some effort (though not shouting)to have a conversation. But driving around town I have no problem, even using my Bluetooth phone which suprised me.

I agree with everyone else and was pleasantly surprised by minimal wind noise with the top dropped. I also plan to get a CDC windscreen, which should help reduce it even more.
