2000 Caterham 7 Autosport review from UK and Ireland
"Once you driven one, you will have to have one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some times the starter motor stick. If the car is put in gear and then rocked while pressing the starter button it works fine. Hasn't done it for a while.
General comments?
This car is fantastic. 0-60 in just a bit over 5 seconds. The handling is excellent. It is very hard to get in and out of, but not too bad once you are in the seat.. I was suprised how comfortable it is. The stereo is a waste of time.. You can't hear anything other than the engine, if you can't hear the engine you are not driving it properly..
Closes thing to riding a bike I have ever come across.
