Advantages
- Normal car doors open out of the car's track, so they can obstruct the road or pavement when opened. This is not an issue with canopies as they open vertically.
- A-pillars aren't necessary as there are no side doors, so the windscreen can extend from the front to the back of the car, giving the driver a field of vision of more than 180 degrees and minimising blind spots. A-pillars are sometimes still added, like with the Sterling Nova, to give the car a more conventional look.

“In 1845 he built himself a small framed house on the shores of Walden Pond, and lived there two years alone, a life of labor and study. This action was quite native and fit for him.

As soon as he had exhausted himself that advantages of his solitude, he abandoned it.”

—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
