General Comments:

Beautiful. Not overly powerful. Looks a million dollars. However it's massively expensive to run - I have spent thousands and thousands of euros on this car - probably something like 7000 euros since I bought it.

The SBC pump thing, which cost me 2k, is a joke - it basically "expires" - doesn't break down, just NEEDS replacing due to the number of brake applications - dash says it's unsafe to drive the car. Yes I know you can buy a module from eBay which cancels it, but sorry I am not risking my life and others too driving a 2 ton car which just might have complete brake failure.

Despite all of the above, I love it dearly though!!

Faults:

Air bag module failed: $2,700.

Front struts failed: $700.

2 trim pieces fell off: $1,000.

Starter failed: $1,300..

All within 9,000 miles of driving. Local dealer service was awful.

Buy this car only with a warranty that will last until you sell it.

Nothing absolutely perfect.

General Comments:

I would recommend this car to anyone, extremely fast and well worth all the money spent.
