Vert Tops

[gav70]

Are there much wind noise? And other noises?
I hope to get a nbc soon.:)

I'd say no.

as compared to many other verts I have ridden in the NBC is very well insulated. Very solid and quiet.

However, you really should take it for a test drive so you can hear for yourself. I live in a climate where I can have the top down 9 to 10 months out of the year, so any of the perceived benefits of the top design, are made moot by the fact that it is down.

Thanks.. Good to know this.

My first vert was a New MG Midget I got in 79...:D
So not much to compare, but I have driven many verts of diff brands and my NBC is far quieter than most.:)

The NBC is very quite except when beside an 18-wheeler at interstate speeds or behind a Harley at interstate speed plus. So yes, it is very quite, warm in winter and cool in summer, with top up of course.

I agree with the other statements above. Mine is down most of the time in the city but on the highway, I don't notice any more noise than in any other vehicle with the top up.

Seriously, with the two-ply top and the excellent headliner, the NBC is quietest drop-top I've driven in a car less than $50K. Overall, it is comparable to many European convertibles for much more money - and better than many as well.

The one thing that is kinda funny is that it sounds like you're in a tent when it's raining.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right. It is like a tent. Although... my 'stang's roof is even louder in the rain... Now I know how to describe the sound...
