Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I am looking at the 2008 RS60 Spyder Is it worth the extra money over a 3.4s ? Does it have the same lightweight and harder to use roof like the later model ? Your thoughts please ? Regards Dazza

POST 2Original post

Save your money , it's just a parts bin car and over priced imo 2nd hand I would buy a normal one. Same roof as normal, same every thing as a normal one.

POST 3Original post

I've had one for about 18 months now, it has all of bits I wanted PASM, sports exhaust mine even has the Carbon Ceramic brakes it goes like stink handles well and I really like it. The only negative thing I can think of is the £475 road tax ripp off having tried Porsche models over twice the price I'm glad I bought it. I have been on the look out for one for a fellow Lotus Anorak and a low mileage example came up for sale with a local Hampshire car dealer and it sold within 3 days. Don't be put off by photos of the interior as most photographs seem to portray it as really bright red which when you see it in the flesh isn't quite so garish.
