F430 spyder v Coupe

[gbrownlow]

I'm still undecided and could probably toss a coin between the 2 if the rest of the car matched my requirements.

I know that seems strange as it is quite a big difference but there are pluses and minuses for both. I've had a lot of convertibles and enjoy the roof down thing but I also like the handling and C pillars of coupes.

My F355 gts was the perfect solution to this dilema and was ideal for me but given thats not an alternative with F430 what is peoples views

Welcome anyones thoughts to help me make the decision

Depends on what your requirements and needs are, they are both great cars.

I bought a 430 spider because I preferred the way it looked (I think I’m the only one who did) and it doesn't rattle or shake when I drive nit hard. No doubt the coupe handles better but I’ve never felt it should be better. The only real disadvantage of the convertible is that there is no room behind the rear seats

Its a 3rd car purely for pleasure primarily on weekends in summer. Can't see me doing more than 2,000 miles per annum and be too scared to park it up and leave it anywhere so its just driving around on some nice roads for fun

Just for summer, spider, every time.

Spider all day long... even Clarkson thinks it's the only option worth having...
