No right or wrong answer. I have owned convertibles for 30 years and always go top down windows down. I bought a convertible to have a completely open air experience. I can see that in some cars the wind might bother people and if they put the windows up the wind is decreased.
The jag has a much better open air experience than my Mustang. My initial ride up the FL coast with the top down was great, little wind and noise in the cockpit. I may get the wind deflector, but it seems to be good without.
My protocol for convertible driving was more when to put the top down. I would start lowering the back quarter windows, if I did not get cold I would lower the front windows as well. If I was still not cold I would lower the top. Of course, the Mustang does not have heated seats and steering wheel...so I may need to change my protocol for the Jaguar.
