Reliability
Having driven a BMW for 5 years, the Spider can frustrate with its inferior build quality.
Image
Gorgeous. I still keep looking out of the window to admire it.
Comfort
For a two seater, I think it's great. Plenty of cabin space. Did a touring holiday round Scotland last year and had no complaints.
