2001 Qvale Mangusta Qvale review from North America
"I'll never own anything like it again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Roto top rattled, but the company fixed it.
Dash leather upholstry separated, but the company replaced it.
Some paint issues, but company repaired paint.
Roto top currently needs service, as it will not operate.
Battery lasted 4 years.
General comments?
I never realized that people react to the car you drive so strongly. This car is a head turner. People follow you into parking lots to ask about it. It is beautiful in its lines and a thrill to drive. Corners seem like straight lines for this car. It is rare and I can't believe I was fortunate to get one. The previous owner's loss was my gain. My students think even I am cool because of it. I've had two longer trips in it and it is very reliable. Just watch for cops.
