To me the up option is great. Like say you're inside a building or gym and you have the windows down and want to roll them up because it's starting to rain. That's why I wanted it to roll up option, but roll down it okay to let the heat out or what not. I use remote start half of the time so either way it doesn't matter that much to me. I have the option to go up or down on the car and have used it many times for different situations.
