Chrysler town and country

Published:”Thursday, January 17, 2008 I thought that the Roughriders winning a Grey Cup and being able to go for a drive with the top down on the new retractable hardtop Sebring convertible would be quite a bit of fun. It didn’t work out that way. I had to settle for cheering the Riders on from the comforts of my neighbor’s house and the Sebring convertible’s top stayed firmly in place. Perhaps next year Mr.

Tillman and Coach Austin can have a word with the weatherman about getting us a bit nicer weather to celebrate in. My wife and I did manage to go for a brief time earlier in that week with the top down, mostly to find out how well the wind is managed. We went for a brief drive both with and without the wind blocker that Chrysler provides.

With all windows down, the car was at its breeziest and we both needed our toques and gloves on to keep things bearable. When we put all four windows up, air zipped over and around us with only a slight breezed coming up the middle, between the two bucket seats. The heater, running full blast managed to keep us reasonably comfortable. I still needed a toque because my head poked into the wind stream a bit and discretion is the better part of not getting frostbite.

Putting up the wind blocker takes a few seconds since you need to dig it out of the trunk and put it in place. This is a task that can be done with gloves on if you have to (and I did). With the blocker in place, virtually zero wind gets to you and all you have to put up with is being out in the cold air and that is what the car’s heater is for. I won’t claim to have been toasty warm, but it was certainly comfortable.
