[My Next Car] McLaren 12C Test Drive

For the latest test drive as part of the My Next Car series, Tony and I head up to John Holland Cars to check out their McLaren 12C. We were unaware that the car in question had actually been tuned to 750hp and had an after market exhaust on it but we were still very excited to try out the car. Incredibly, John Holland also had a McLaren 570S in stock - a car which I am obsessed by. It was interesting to see the back to back visual comparisons.
Thanks to Supercar Driver for helping to arrange the day.

    I think this sums up supercar ownership and perhaps car ownership in general . It's not always the BEST car you fall in love with , the R8 probably beats the 12C in almost every aspect going yet you can tell Sam has instantly fallen in love with the car. It's just "that feeling" you get when you connect with something :)

    I sold mine after my battery died. alternate battery from BMW was $872.00 and that wasn't compatible for electronic so I had to buy one from dealer. battery cost $ 3155.00 because its lithium ion and it died again voiding warranty due to not being faulty battery. after $ 725.00 in diagnostic, it turned out to be faulty ignition switch keeping battery on. total including new ignition switch, batteries, diagnostic work, labor and misc charges, total of $ 11,582.17. now I drive Ferrari F360 F1 spider. much happier and hate to say it, it performs better. Just ordered Lambo Huracan and both of car takes battery like normal cars. just a thought and not hating.

    sell your Abarth, the car does not fit in as a daily. it is uncomfortable, not practical, far to small to do day to day activities in, and does not really driver properly. sell it and contribute most of it towards your supercar. The whole point of a daily is to be comfortable, easy to drive, practical and generally easy to live with. What is the point of buying a super if the abarth is as unconventional as one? buy like a used audi a3 /s3 or even a golf r. Those are one of the best cars that come to mind that fit into a daily and as sporty and fast at the same time. Don't buy something as crazy as the abarth because buying a supercar will serve no purpose

    Think about why the previous owner has sold this thing. He invested some amount of money and made this car an absolute monster. And I can easily see he had tons of fun. Super fast, super comfy and you can get very special ""supercar" feel all the time. However, I can also easily see he had tons of pain in the ass at the same time. The reliability. Problems and issues could hit you at any time. Probably the door issue was not the only one. Hey, that car must have been fully inspected by a dealer with good reputation and it still has those freaking doors! I can easily see how the owner got fed up with everything and decided to sell it. If you want to use it strictly as a weekend supercar, maybe it would work and work wonderfully. Even if you have a problem or two you can just send it to some smart people and wait for them to fix it. But if you want to use it more like once in a few days and especially bring it to your occasional long trips which could be for days like the Modball, it simply wouldn't work. McLarens could be your *next to the next" supercar. McLarens or a 458 probably.

    I probably love McLaren even more than you do, but I think you should get an R8. Just because of the reliability issues of the 12C. (or get the 540c if possible. That would be the most awesome thing ever)

    The R8 isn't as fast as a 570s, but it's also not as expensive. And it's not just an everyday Audi. It's an Audi R8. It's the same as calling a Ford GT "just a Ford", or a Camaro "just a Chevrolet".

    I seriously do hope he'll be able to afford a 540c. But he most likely won't be able to. I think the 12C would be amazing to drive and it looks a lot better than the R8, but it's not reliable. So what other option is there available? The R8 is "top 3 on his list, if not top 2 on his list". And throughout the whole video he looks excited to me. So why would you say that it bores him? I wouldn't be surprised if he'd choose the R8 to be honest.

    The 12C is the most usable car out of everything you have tested so far due to its suspension setup and, ironically, a better daily than your Abarth. (not that hard lol) Concerning reliability and price of parts, back in 2011/2012, while the first batch of 12C's were having minor issues related to software and electronics (e.g. sensors being triggered out etc.) Ferrari's and Porsche's were catching fire. Those issues were easily fixed for free. Of course there might have been some people who had bad luck with more serious issues (also due to incompetent drivers), but that was most probably a very small minority, nothing like the issues of the 458's and 991 GT3's. About the paddle shifters, when the 12C was launched the setup was "revolutionary" because you could just press the paddle shifter gently to pre-program and prepare the engine/transmission for the gear change before and then pressing it a bit harder to really change. The interior is minimalistic but could be optioned with leather etc. All in all this is the best package if you don't fancy the R8 V10 Plus, and let's be realistic, you're not gonna find a 540C for 120K that soon. You always have the McLaren warranty just in case. One of the main criticism towards the 12C in the begining was the "lack of emotion", well that was always a bunch of BS, and this video is just another proof. You want a compromise between usability and supercar looks and performance, if you had the money the 570GT would be THE car, but since you can't THIS is it. If you decide to buy one though don't go for this particular one, get a stock one.

Also a really nice sounding stock titanium exhaust. You also get good features inside such as leather seats and a revamped interior that is luxurious that you can use everyday and in your road trips to Monaco and such. Please just give it a try just too expand your options.

Seeing as to that your daily is Italian, and that you have a passion for the world's greatest supercar brand, I think you should buy your next car from, well, you know what I'm going to say. Ferrari! F430 test drive video, I have a feeling, will be the last of this series. Your next video would be announcing a tour of Europe in an F430! How does that sound, mate? Think about it, Ferrari... THE Ferrari... prancing horse... priceless racing experience... Italian flare and passion... every human emotion designed, sculpted, and formed into a single machine. Doesn't that sound like more fun than some Porsche, Audi, or even McLaren?

And I think that's all that matters when someone is in love with the brand like you are, however amazing McLaren are, they don't have the charisma of Ferrari. Its like with your Abarth, many people may say, "but a ... is quicker" but an Abarth is an Abarth for reasons only people who have driven them really appreciate and so is a Ferrari. Go for it Sam

    To be honest, it's probably a toss up between depreciation on a 540/570 and maintenance costs on a 12. IIRC you can still get the extended warranty on the 12C retroactively, which is obviously a good idea as the car does have reliability issues. It's fairly dear, I believe around 7k per year (for comparison, I paid around 1500 a year for the Approved warranty on my 911), but definitely less than annual depreciation on a 540/570. Look at leases. The residuals on 540s/570s are super low - depreciation on these over 3 years would dwarf any warranty expenses on the 12C. The only caveat might be stuff that's not covered by the warranty as I don't know McLaren's precise terms. Porsche covers pretty much everything.
