As you all know, I got my car 5 days ago and I have noticed that when it doesn't rain my roof is down

. I didn't know that driving a convertibale would be so nice !

agreed- judging just how much further will you make it before it rains... which direction is that huge black cloud is going... if the heavens do open, do i know anywhere i can stop easily..! SERIOUSLY tho, enjoy it all year- i had my roof down on december 1st last year- as long as it is not raining, there really is no excuse

I drove home on Sunday and the heavens opened, I had the roof down and didn't want to pull onto the hard shoulder. Kept going till the services five miles away. I did't get wet until I slowed down in the car park. Got lots of very strange looks though

Is this the only convertible where one doesn't get wet when driving at high speed ? Or is this a thing that all or other convertibles have ?

A lot depends on the rake of the bonnet and windsscreen which alters the windflow of the car, but generally the more speed the increase of windflow, and the less rain that enters any cab cabin.
