Hi, is anybody using a Spyder as a daily driver and ifso what are their thoughts. Bascially although using it every day would be a 15 minute drive
to/from work plus weekend use, its more whether its really practical for all year round use? After a year away from porsches intend to get back
as current car just doesnt give me the smile where previous porsches have even on my drive too/from work.

I have had mine since Jan this year - now up to 17,000 miles (had 947 on it when I picked it up) its our ONLY car and we love it - no worries and surprisingly compliant whilst tootling along our beautiful pot-hole-a-licious roads - I havent regretted a single second of it!
OK - the roof is 60 seconds of faf - but didnt all proper sports cars of old have faf-a-tronic canvass roof's?
Practicality - for example (as well as just me for a blast) it easily deals with . . .
On the motorway - it is smooth & quiet INHO with the top up or down - country roads are fabulous fun - every drive is EPIC - this morning at 1am coming back from London, cross-country for the last third is what its all about - empty twisty, country roads.
Just IMHO!

- holiday luggage loads of space in the font and rear boots
- 12 bags of horse-s
t - a racing bicycle IN THE BOOT + all the kit, wheels, tools etc
- 8 x 2.4m 2x4's with the top down
- ice - not a foot out of place
- rain - not a leak
- 2 x Ducati wheels with tyres

Perfectly practical, obviously not going to be particularly cheap on fuel, etc but you presumably know that already.
Never really understood why people treat them like garage queens, they aren't limited edition supercars.
Thanks, agree, never treaded any of my cars as garage queens. It wont be any worse, probably lot better, on consumption/costs than current car its more that during autumn/winter its going to be left with hood on the whole time during the week and will have to be used whatever the weather. Also any comments on driving experience using everyday, does it give you that 'buzz' even on short drives. Other options have considered are a 'GTS' but they holding their values at the momentNever really understood why people treat them like garage queens, they aren't limited edition supercars.
and dont want to pay mid 60's as feel they might drop after the 991 has been out for a while, or a Cayman R but never been great fan of the Cayman
'look'. I want soemthing bit different.

Thanks, thats what I was hoping to hear, the practicality side isnt so much of an issue as have an X5 as family/load lugger. 'it is smooth & quiet' hope it isnt too quiet, like a bit of noise, do you have pse? OK - the roof is 60 seconds of faf - but didnt all proper sports cars of old have faf-a-tronic canvass roof's?
