What is miles per pound?

Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 14 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

The Spider commands a 10% premium over a 360M coupe of equivalent age and mileage, which is roughly how much extra you would have paid when it was new. However, insist on a full service log from a main dealer or recognised specialist as this is key to protecting the car’s value. Servicing is very expensive and needed every 6250 miles, with major work at 12,500 miles including the dreaded cambelt that costs around £1000 alone.

The 360 performs miserably on the eco front. With an average of 440g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are extremely high and it’s extremely thirsty, averaging just 14mpg.

There have been no reported problems, leaks or faults with the 360 Spider’s roof. The rest of the Spider is proving to be well made and durable, with only a recall in late-2001 to have the door striker plates replaced.
