Depends really.I personally think the spider is the nicest looking however the roof is quite a complicated affair and there are lots of potential areas for problems(expense).
The GTS kind of bridges the gap between berlinetta and spider.Berlinetta for some is the prettiest(although the spider is my favorite I have a Berlinetta).I personally am not a fan of the F1 gearbox because of its complexity and cost of repair but some swear by it.The manual gearbox is clunky until you get used to it and 1st to 2nd gearchanges are hard until the car warms up.

Keep it simple. Rosso Corsa Berlinetta with Crema interior. Beautiful.

Listen to this advice. Just add a Tubi or Capristo and you have as close to perfection as any manufacturer has ever come.

ive looked at one today, very rough around the edges. Have started thinking about a 360. forgive my naivety on the subject but would a 60-70 k motor be any good? it would not be my daily driver but it would get driven regularly. i wouldnt want a garage queen!

now have to explain to the wife a ferrari is a better idea than a rangey. one more thing though, i ws planning to keep the porsche as my daily driver, however would it be a sensible option part ex this against a new(ish) f430? how well do they cope with everyday use? sorry to be asking so many questions, just i want to get the right car for myself-its been a long time coming!
