Default good spec saph or 3dr - discuss

there's a good chance i will be looking at getting a cossie soon, and would like a few opinions to what would be my best bet. basically it won't need to be a day in/day out car but at the same time i want something i can use in all weathers and not have to rush it home when the rain comes,like my fez

if it were a saph then i would imagine i could get a fairly high specced example for the money i will be spending ( around £8k-£9k ).

don't really want to buy a standard car cos i know i'll end up modding it and spending a fortune.but not really seeing many modded 3dr's lately?

really prefer the shape of the 3dr but would you use one in all weathers?

any opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated

I'd go for the three door and only use it in dry weather [dry days through the winter if necessary].

9k for a saff is gonna get you an ulitmate spec saff [500+BHP and all the bits that go with it]. Thats if you can find one for sale!

yeah as selling a saph for 9 k witha big spec aint easy, most people break em for a quicker sale with that cash

richpon's bro had a fooking proper saph for sale, the ultimate road spec, well thought out and was 7kish, some may say alot but there was nothing to do to it at all, was perfect and wish i wasnt such a tight arse and got a bank loan to buy it
