1995 McLaren F1 V12 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Sheer quality.....................
Faults:
Nothing has really gone wrong with the car, runs very smooth, but if anything does go wrong you phone McLaren up, link in a modem to the car and they diagnose the problem where ever you are and come over and sort out the problem.
General Comments:
Smaller then you realize and but plenty of space inside, crashed mine into a Metro (yes I did say a Metro), was in the papers and was all very embarrassing, good protection for those unfortunate enough to have a prang in them although I don't recommend it.
The other gentleman who left a post was correct about the dealers, although very polite they do tend to dictate to you how to use the car and even make you do a drivers course before they sell it to you.
The car is fun to drive and really can be used as often as you like, like to take it into London, just for the sheer hell of it and children are always tugging on their parents coats to get closer to take a look.
Performance wise it is really unbelievable, more power then you will ever realistically need, have taken mine to Europe many a time to do 200mph+ on the autobahns, if you can afford one then get one, if not then you can always dream.........
Well I have blubbered on enough.
Farewell

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Is that review REALLY from Rowan Atkinson? I wonder. I suppose we'll never know. It would be nice to think that he took the time to make an entry, though. I know he's a true petrol head, I saw him racing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year.
