The convertible soft-top variants are treated as summer beach toys and typically do not have air conditioning, which sellers frame as inherent to the vehicle's purpose. Buyers constantly ask whether A/C can be retrofitted (aftermarket options like VintageAir are suggested at roughly $1,000-$2,000), while owners note the removable top comes off in minutes and that the heater is more than adequate even in Canadian winters.
