Afternoon all,

I am in the market for one of the above but was hoping for some first hand experiences.

In the past I have had a few GT3s and these did not get used much as I have a young family / work alot etc. Plus I did not take them on track and found them a bit compromised for just driving locally. It always felt like i needed to be go 10/10 which was a bit of a headache a lot of the time.

So, my man logic is that if i can add another dimension (being an open top) I can cruise around and not feel like i need to race about. That got me to a 718 Spyder but then i thought a Targa would give me the ability to take the family sometimes and as such use the car more.

I get that these are two very different cars, but i am after any wisdom. I favour the Spyder because i think it would be more fun. I think residual value would be better too, though that is secondary.

Thanks!

Cheib

Quite different driving experiences…hard to say really it is about whether you would like a car that is a more nimble/lively over something that is a bit more practical and might get used more, Having more use cases for a car is always good. It’s really down to what you value most.
