The heater, on the other hand, will burn your butt (not really but it is quite warm even with temps in the upper 50's). I think this difference in heating/cooling power is what the review is talking about.

As for visibility with the top up, it is bad. I went ahead and installed a backup cam myself to help out. But, all convertibles have similar problems. Neither of my 2 previous Miatas had good visibility either.
