Air Flow

I haven't driven the roaster, yet, to find out for myself , but I Am intrigued by a you - tube 2013 mini roadster test drive video I just watched. The driver provides commentary as he takes the car on a four minute run with the top down, door windows and wind deflector up. His hair isn't moving??? Now, my hair gets rearranged when my windows are down and the sunroof is open. ( My wife has expressed concerned about her hair getting blown around in the roadster... :( red flag ! Again, we will eventually take it for a ride, but until then, is my video observation true, OR does the guy have some serious product on his hair to keep it intact????

It's only a roaster on really hot days...

My wife's hair is fine at everyday in-town speeds, with the windows up and the deflector in. She doesn't mind it at all. I have never driven without the deflector in, as it doesn't get in my way so I just leave it. I don't usually drive with the windows down either.

Yeah, I think the guy was using lots of "product."

If she doesn't like her hair being "washed by the wind," maybe a cap or scarf would help?

Tell your MA that along with whatever discount you can wrangle, they have to throw in a couple ball caps for "hair management."

My wife keep a hair tie in the car for highway driving. No hair issues around town. Also, and as you would expect, taller people have more hair issues. At least the seats can be adjusted up and down.
