Currently own a 570GT , only had one issue, the sponge inside the front off side tyre came lose causing a wheel wobble at 70 mph. Apart from that no other issues. I agree it’s probably to fast for the road , however I think the review could have gone into more detail about the driver settings , launch control, brake feel etc. The 570 GT is the one to go for, looks the best designed of the sports series, slightly less focused, but unless you spend all the time on the track don’t bother. I have tracked my 570 at Anglesey, it’s was awesome. These McLaren’s were designed by ex Lotus engineers, hence the similar type driving experience , the 570 is like a Lotus on steroids.

It is interesting, I have been looking at Ferrari 458's and love the car, but when you look many have very low milages and have often had 5 or 6 owners. Similar aged McLarens have often had one owner and have higher milages. This has started me looking at McLarens rather than the Italian cars. Clearly the ownership and drivability are better than the oposition.

Nice balanced review Jay, it's a crying shame Mcclaren still haven't got round to dealing with the quality assurance issues, I am amazed anyone buying this type of vehicle would tolerate that level of poor service at this price point.

Give them a platform to voice the positive other side aspects of their practical program to improve things... instead of a one sided user experience....

Interested to hear your opinions as I’ve spent a fair while in a 540c On track it made complete sense (grown up Lotus Evora) however on the road it almost felt to much of a car. What I mean by that is simply to quick for the road. The power is way to accessible and before I knew it I was breaking the speed limit and by some margin. Again car had very low miles but was delivered with issues 🤬 Wasn’t mine so wasn’t overly concerned. I honestly feel that a well driven 650 LT would be almost unbeatable on a track like Brands, utterly blistering! Again issues with quality. I’d wait until you can get one for 50k then buy One and a 991 911 C2S for when it’s in the garage 🤪

Some people are just slobs and haven't really earned to own such a car if you know what I mean.

I drove the sport series twice, didn’t impress me much. Always thought a 570S would be the ideal car, affordable second hand (depreciation is a massive issues) or terrific leasing deal. But then I had the opportunity to drive one on my “home” track Bilster Berg for 40 minutes. Electronics in standard setting are very intrusive, had to put it into track mode, otherwise it would kill any power as long as you are still having some steering angle dialled in. Front axle terrific, brakes sensational, engine very powerful (though a bit emotionless)... all good... but the very loose rear axle really destroyed the car for me. Difficult to control when driven 10/10ths, almost scary for an amateur like myself (and I am not too bad / slow / inexperienced). The instructors on the day confirmed my observations, 2019 models became a new rear axle kinematic that shall help, semi slicks seems to help, putting a wing on (now you can get it OEM) or a proper KW suspension also seem to mitigate the loose rear end. Everybody who is more into McL tells me SuperSeries is superior by light years, eben a MP4 would be preferable over the Sport Series (except 600LT).

This car looks so odd without the rear wing. Funny how a couple of bodyparts on a 600LT especially the rear wing, makes it look 1000% better than a standard 570s.

One suggested if I bought a 12C without warranty for £80k or so I'd be wise to set aside about the same again if I wanted to run it for 3 years and do any kind of mileage in it!

I like the interiors of McLarens - a lot less fussy than many. Not a fan of the exteriors, though - the opposite. Overall shape is a bit bland and it seems like they're trying to compensate for that with a weird front and a rear that looks like an alien's face. Other manufacturers are now catching them up in the 'bland exhaust note' stakes.
