    Murcielago Lp640 coupe vs roadster

    Can the group share their thoughts on the differences in usability / issues / things to consider?

    Things they like or do not like between the two?

    Thanks much.

    The roadster top is a bear to deal with. I had one and loved it but I never put the factory top on myself. I took it over to the dealer to do. The roadster has no rear visibility to speak of. You have to use your side mirrors. I have a 670 coupe now and it is much easier to drive and see our of. I miss the engine noise of the roadster. In Arizona with little rain the top may not be an issue at all. I had my roadster in Fl. where it rains daily.

    Coupe is easier to use and more secure. Engine noise of the roadster is intoxicating.

    Roadsters are great looking but what people don't mention much is when it gets really hot outside its nice to put the top up on a convertible and turn on the air, this is something you probably will not do quickly on a murci roadster.
    I passed on a roadster as the top is an afterthought, many will say don't drive if it is going to rain, I have driven on a perfectly clear day and have got rained on.

    Still love the look though.

    Thanks guys for the input. Will look forward to trying one of these in the future. I prefer the coupe but understand the fun aspects of the roadster.

    Best.

    HA, Great idea but my closest dealer is 2 hours away, I finally learned to put it on and off, have only HAD to do it a handful of times, but usually it is driven and stored with the factory top off. I did purchase a top that covers it (but can't be driven with it on) for when I am at a car show or caught in a brief rain
