Is it true that the buffeting isn't an issue with the windows down?

Europeans and their remote controlled tops. The envy.

So -- @Norge911 -- I'm about to place an order for a 718 Spyder. Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm starting to lean spyder over 992 as well. Means I've got to keep a 2nd car instead of making the 911 an all-arounder but I can keep my F80 M3 and pick up a spyder for the same price as the 911. or maybe get a wrangler rubicon or something fun and drive that a few days a week.

Not to turn this into a spyder thread, the one negative that's bugging me is the reportedly too-tall gearing in the 718, apparently in place to keep it from cannibalizing 911 sales. The 'cayman complex', according to Matt Farah.

Sorry for the threadjack, OP.
