Hope you can get your roof sorted, they seem very complex. I looked at a Focus CC before the family suggested a Miata. Less practical as a small two-seater but such a simple roof mechanism (manual - can be done from the driver's seat once you've developed the muscles) compared to an automated coupe-convertible. The Focus I inspected was perfect mechanically but I wondered how it would last in the longer term and the weight killed the performance. The Miata is near the best around for driving smiles per dollar.
I still see a number of coupe-convertibles around despite the fad being over but rarely with the roof down, even in perfect topless weather. My rule of thumb is a threshold of 10C/50F for roof-down driving unless the weather's wet.
Ive probably answered this before but,
About 1 1/2 hour drive to Playa Vera a costal residential area with bars and restaurants which is nudist. If am going to be naked all day I start with the drive. The road is toll so the are two booths to pass which adds to the thrill .

Problem seems to be the sensor that checks the position of the rack where the roof rests when open. Should be easy to fix.
Problem with a Miata is that it is too difficult for an older heavier person like me to get out of it.

No automated toll collection?
Im surprised I haven't responded to this before.
I've driven nude from PA to FL 932 miles (1499.90861 km) IT takes about 16-17hrs. I usually have shorts handy for gas and food stops. Never had a problem. Driving with the windows down and not running the A/C saves gas. Nudity is earth friendly.
About 400 miles last month, including a traffic jam in the interstate. I was careful how I parked next to the trucks. I know truckers have a great view into cars, I'm curious how often they see nude drivers.
Driving naked, for me, is damn near as common as driving clothed. It's usually a daily occurrence. Unless I have to leave the vehicle multiple times, I'm naked in the car before I leave the garage. Used to be that I'd strip between every errand stop. That became impractical to strip and dress several times. I then began routing my errands so that I was naked when I left the house. I dressed on my first stop and then stripped at the errand furthest from home. If I'm doing multiple drive thru errands, bank ATM, credit union ATM, pharmacy, food, I remain naked the entire time, even while dealing with the pharmacy window clerk and food service person. Driving a high-profile vehicle helps.
All our road trips are nude driven drives. We typically drive thru places for food so no need to dress. On occasion, we will dress and go inside a restaurant but not frequently. Fuel stops and potty stops are a must, and we have to slip on something. I have filled up the gas tanks in all our cars naked at one time or another. The opportunity and surroundings need to be right. I've put fuel in our motorhome naked twice. That was a little more difficult than the cars. A tad more exposed those times but the gas station was empty. I often thought what the security cameras picked up and if the owner/manager/attendant, noticed me on the videos.
Just made the 75 mile drive from home to camp nude. Ive driven home at night nude before, but this was the first daytime drive completely nude. It was raining, so that probably kept everyone busy and their eyes on the road.
We were able to get in our car in the garage, drive all the way to the gate, use the gate key to open the gate and drive up to the rec area. We weren't going enough to justify the annual cost of that level membership so now we have to park, walk into the office, check in, pay our fees and then drive up to the rec area.
During those times, my shorts and t shirt were in the back seat. There were so, so many times, I never slipped them on at all until we gave back the pass key. My wife enjoyed driving down to the outdoor shower area, taking a nice shower and then drying off, getting in the car and driving out the gate. We drove into the garage and got out of the car.
We are missing an opportunity to drive naked, north about 5 hrs tomorrow. We are going up to the central coast for two nights with our daughters and a granddaughter. Though they all know we are nudists, we wouldn't subject them to the way we prefer to travel by vehicle! haha There will be subsequent visits to this area to visit our granddaughter at university. Those trips will be naked drives for sure!
