When you opened the top, did you open it all the way or just to where the rear window stays fixed?

If it's where the rear window stays fixed, I've noticed the buffeting, too, but fully open doesn't do it.

Okay, maybe we didn't open it far enough. It was like 28 degrees outside and we were on the interstate.

Like another certain retro compact, the new Fiat 500 comes in more than one guise. Looking for some sun on your fun? The 500C adds a giant cloth, slide-back sunroof to the package.

There's actually two versions of the 500C available, the Pop and the Lounge. (Yes, each one of those is a model designation.) The Pop is the basic version. It still has the big sunroof but gets steel wheels; the Lounge adds alloys plus a standard six-speed automatic transmission.

Our test car was the Lounge fitted with pearl paint ($500), leather interior ($1250) and a TomTom GPS navigation unit ($400).
