I just discovered you, looking for a review of this car. For both, I think just perfect, the car itself and your manner of reviewing. I like your approach. I really think, the most articulate and intelligent reviewer I have heard yet. Thank you for what you are doing!

@sundaymorningdrives 3 месяца назад

Think you so much for the kind words, views like you are the reason why I keep making these videos. Really happy that it may help you understand this car a little more. Are you thinking of buying one?

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes the roof is a little inconvenient, but it does accentuate the shape makes the car look very exotic, don't you think?

@@sundaymorningdrives Yeah. I had a Solstice GXP when they came out. it had the same type of roof, and I never remember complaining about it. But that was a much less expensive car. I still fine the car attractive though.

There are quite a bit of difference if you look closely. Some people might think the similarities are part of the "heritage" and "history", like the 911, but some might think it's just design laziness, haha

The roof only takes 20-30 seconds. The suspension is softer. Same hardware but tuned softer than the GT4. It's more compliant for the street.

@sundaymorningdrives 6 месяцев назад

Yup, exactly how I felt, do you own one?

@watchingu83 4 месяца назад

The chassis and engine in the 718 Spyder and GT4 are the same. The only difference between the two cars is the roof (soft top manual convertible in the Spyder) and the rear spoiler. Other than that the two are identical in every way.

@sundaymorningdrives 4 месяца назад

This or the 420?

@sundaymorningdrives 7 месяцев назад

For me it's the 420, because it's more of what I am looking for in a special weekend car, it's more raw and direct, and because I already have a GT3, so the 718 wouldn't be on my list. But if I am only to have ONE sportscar, the 718 Spyder is probably a very very tempting choice. What would you pick?

Ya, it's a bit inconvenient, but it does allow the Spyder to maintain that double hump shape at the back which looks nice.

You have no idea how great the roof is and the trade that you get for that Manuel roof is amazing. I’ve just bought my second one and it’s an extraordinary machine.

@sundaymorningdrives 26 дней назад

@mikiesmile very good to know, and glad you are enjoying it. I believe most ppl either love it or hate it. I think Porsche did well to keep the shape of the rear humps, makes the car look very exotic! You own one yourself?

@scottsmith7337 Месяц назад

No the only correct answer is the Spyder RS , 9,000 rpm cup car engine

@sundaymorningdrives Месяц назад

Yes, the Spyder RS is a more thrilling car, but because of it's price and allocation issues, it might not be for everyone, not to mention the even more complicated manual roof, the less-comfortable ride, and the very loud cabin, maybe most people will prefer the Spyder over the RS? I am not sure.

@tylerdurden9765 5 месяцев назад

The Spyder is the essence of a beautiful midengine sports car and afaic far more aesthetically pleasing than the tarted up RS with those ugly plasticy looking intake humps
