How bad is it? I've been in some cars where the wind slaps you in the face if you drive with the windows down in the freeway. Very annoying. Just curious what you guys think.

Thanks.

 

Sounds like wind, when you have your windows down.

 

Not bad till you hit about 70.

 

Don't worry you have A/C in this car.

 

Gets worse as you go faster...

I've never been slapped in the face by wind.

 

I drive with the windows down a lot, even in winter and its not bad at all. I never get passed 60-65 though and if I do its a speed burst for few seconds on a backroad. I remember having strong wind in my accord but maybe the moonroof added.

 

The Z is great with the windows down compared to a lot of other cars I've driven. I can literally have both windows down doing ~90 for a 20min commute and I get there without 1 hair out of place. If the wind is bad sometimes my hair gets a little blown but never bad. Its no where near some SUV's that are so bad on the interstate it seems like the whole damn door is about to shake right off the side of the car

 

Like has already been said, it's not nearly as bad as a lot of other cars. I roll my windows up a couple of inches and it lessens the wind effects drastically.

 

Cool, thanks guys. I used to drive an Outlander and boy was that car BAD when it came to wind.

 

The RSX is better.

 

Why not take one for a drive and find out?

 

The Z seems to cut through the air nicely, not much wind noise with the window down.
The only strange thing Ive noticed is that if you have one window down, and one window up, it does that strange pressure +/- thing that about sucks your ear-drums out of your head (feels like it). Yu know, that pulsating wub wub wub wub wub wub... I usually crack the passenger window if I have mine down... Every car seems to do this, just the Z does it quite well, or bad...whatever.

*just did some research, its called "wind buffeting"

 

If the temp is above 60 degrees, I have my windows down. Doesn't matter how fast I'm going.

 

if the wind slaps you, slap the wind back. PERIOD

 

Yeah that is horrible!

 

corrected to my temperature.
yeah this car cuts through the wind very well, and actually doesnt let enough air in if you're driving in the 90degree+ summer weather with the windows down. but its not bad

 

30 degrees is too cold for my blood. If I could tolerate the cold I'd have my windows down all the time so I wouldn't have to listen to the interior rattles.

 

unless is one nice day begging for dropped windows..i generally don't keep my windows down.

okay...generally above 60 mph I keep my windows up.

 

this is a very random thread. but i think it's

not TOO bad. but somebody mentioned going

60-70mph without even a hair moving is bull

dooky in my opinion. on high way is bad. but

up to 40mph is not bad at all. i always drive with

windows down.

 

better than getting cockslapped
