    For me I love the looks and the acceleration. The storage is obviously a plus, but the bummer for me is the sound. It just doesn't sound as good or loud as its rivals.

      No need. After you understand what fails, that will fly away. Mclaren already fixed the 2 worse, the coolant pipe rubbing to a rupture and the foam thing. Right now you have 2 problems that can mess up everything hard, intake inlet that has a bit that comes off inside and fcks the turbo and might fck more if it passes the ic, easy fix, either get the new mclaren revised one, plastic weld the part and use a good heat resistant glue, or get the upgraded bit. The other is a common problem literally in every single v8 twin turbo car on sale today, headgaskets, mclaren has the triple layer one, it will hang. The reason for failure is the thermostat that lets the coolant boil before it opens as it is a 100 degree celcius as in pretty much any new car. Find a 90c one and it will prevent a LOT of pointless wear by heat and need for new gaskets in the future. The other one is a common problem in literally any car with them, accumulators. Car will drive well, but it will be less comfortable, Mclaren already had 3 or 4 iterations, they are getting better, but see it as a consumable.

      Yes, many people cheap out and those people will always experience problems sooner than later. But ultimately, these builds will almost always end up problematic regardless of build.

      Hey Bryan....none whatsoever so far, but I do play by the rules. Always wait for the car to warm up before revving it past 3k RPMS, the car is always on the trickle charger if it’s not driven, even for a day. The wing is always down when parked, etc. idk if any of these things are contributing to the well behavior of the car thus far, but I was told on the forums that the electronics don’t freak out when these precautions are taken. 👍
