1996 McLaren F1 review from UK and Ireland
"Hahahahaha, good luck ever getting your hands on a second hand one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing apart from the normal wear and tear in a car.
Window cracked, 3000 pounds to repair!
The headlight somehow stopped working, 2000 pounds for a new one!
Rear panel scraped, another 7000 pounds down the drain.
General comments?
The interior is boring as hell. Considering I am paying so much bloody money you would think that I could customize the interior. But McClaren wouldn't allow it. They practically own the car, I can't do anything to it other than drive it.
And yes the modem that contacts McClaren and tells them if the car has a problem is true.
It is the fastest car on the road. This car, is the most expensive car in the world and it acts like one too! It devours money by the truckload. In the city I have recorded fuel consumption at up to 38mpg. The prices charged for services are absolutly disgusting! I could be feeding a third world country.
