Hi everyone, i´m new to this forum and i´m considering buying a Gallardo (i know that´s quite often here ;-).

I read a lot of threads in this forum about all different kinds of Gallardo but there´s one question in particular that i have. What is the better Gallardo to buy, the old 5.0 (including all models like superleggera etc.) or the newer LP ones?

I heard a lot of good thinks about both but i also read that the old ones have a bit more "character" and the newer ones are just like Audis. On the other hand the LP models are supposed to be much more reliable and sound way better to me. So, is there any model year that i should stay away from (maybe the early ones??) and how big is the difference between these two Gallardo stages?

Furthermore, my favorites at the moment are the LP550-2 and the Superleggera, so if you have a oppinion about rear wheel drive feel free to tell me! ;-)

Thanks a lot

Driven all Gallardo and Huracan variants, so being that I ended up with 2 Superleggeras, I can simply not state enough what it's like to drive mine. I only have my yellow '08 SL, full B-Rogue exhaust with intake runners in full titanium. It really has much more presence and the sound is pretty much universally loved by most car enthusiasts. Here's two of the latest clips of the car:
