I got them when they were cheaper!

BEST wind in the cabin HACK = lower the drivers window, keep the passenger up. PERFECT!

I can't say I've ever noticed buffeting with mine. And I'm pretty sensitive to it.
Agree. If you raise up passenger side window 1/2 way up the wind abates quickly and the cabin is quite immediately. Also I don’t get no buffeting even with top up window down driving.

"cabin" wind can be a serious problem!

I had a 991.2 Targa GTS before the Spyder and this car is like a Coupe compared to it. I was out tonight actually and had zero problems, triple-digit speeds as usual, and no wind issues at all - windows up and German rear glass in.

I have no issues with wind in my Spyder. The aero is pretty good with this car.

I do have to say I am a bit perplexed that you're complaining about wind noise...in a convertible,..

Did you mean to say wind noise with the top on? if so, then yes, it's more noticeable. I think some of it is being amplified by the lack of insulation on the top.

Hey - sorry if this came off as a "complaint". It's more of a comment. I have driven all my Spyders (3 in total) 99% with the top down and love it. I think I was just cruising in some heavy freeway traffic the other night and noticed it was a bit windy.

So thanks for bustin' my chops on whinging about the wind! Point taken!
