When people say I'm crazy for driving the car with the roof down around or below the freezing point, I basically say that due to the heater and heated seats, it is a lot more comfortable than walking outside in that sort of temperature as long as speeds are below 80km/h.
I only wish we had heated steering wheels then I reckon we could go even lower. Drove to work in 4.5C this morning. It was glorious.
Glad to see others here drive with the top down when it is cold. For awhile, I thought I was being a bit nutty. My wife thinks I'm nuts for driving top down when it's cold out in the fall.

Does having a wind screen make it more bearable to drive out in the cold?
