Love that the rear window can be left out for sound and air to flow in. Being totally manual beings another level of connection to the car.

It starts to pour with rain, do you stop and try and put the roof on or, hit the gas and head for a petrol station or tunnel for shelter?

OMG !! Don't drive in the rain. Because you might get wet. It's very difficult to close and open the roof. Not worth the price paid.

German engineering at it's finest! And the problem is not this particular roof, the problem is that everything about most german cars is like this.. but most of the time automated and when it breaks, you just cry.

This reminds me of a car I used to have way back, a 1981 Benz 380SL. The top was manual too, however, the SL took 1/10 the steps the Spyder does, and I thought that a hassle. (Of course, this is almost comparing apples to oranges. The SL was a luxury roadster, not a car you would ever see in a commercial whipping around mountain roads or getting into stoplight drag races, Timmy Tourist types excepted.) On the SL while sitting in the driver's seat I removed two clamps that were holding the top in place. I then shoved the top rearward to start the stowing process. I exited the car, released the latch that locked the metal top storage area, lifted the lid, then carefully placed the top into the stowage compartment, pressed the cover to engage the latches, voilà I was done. It took longer to type this description than to release and stow the top. Where this really came in handy was when driving into inclement weather that was not seen (such as a cloudburst). I didn't want rain damaging my leather interior or perhaps a suede jacket laying in the back. In those situations I appreciated that I could quickly pop open the stowage cover and with one hand stretch to partially pull the center of the stored top up and over us to protect the interior, occupants, and contents. Once protected I could casually clamp the top in place. I could stow my top in less than 60 seconds, from clamp release to driving off. I could have partial top protection within 15 seconds. At the other extreme over the years I have had power operated tops, where all one needed to do was flip and hold a switch (no hold-down clamps, manual storage cover releases or anything). IMO people with rag tops eventually desire a power operated top, convenience becoming the desired feature, not weight reduction. Moreover, AFAIK these Boxsters, even the Spyder, are driven by doctors, lawyers, et al. That target market could give a rip about weight reduction and pounds saved by not having a powered top. People going through a midlife crisis or those wanting to impress when pulling up to the café want a powered top, AC, and all the options, against extra charge or not. I see this as a foolish design by Porsche.
