Been waiting for this video 👌 Really good to hear you haven’t encountered any major issues. In terms of possible replacements, what do you think of the Maserati MC20? Guess it’s technically a downgrade with it’s V6 but it’s definitely prettier and a little more special/rare to see!
I would have to see if I fit in it. It looks a little small but I haven’t tried it out yet. I will look around though and see if I can find one to try out.
@@Busterburg Please make a video on it if you can, would be dope to get a comparison between that and the 720
@Natak222 definitely I will once I find one and the dealership will let me film.
this gotta be the best car review i have ever seen, you speak facts G.
Thanks I appreciate that.
Great video. Would love to see more McLaren stuff.
I’m working on another one right now. It will be out next Sunday.
Good honest review...beautiful color - congrats
Thanks I appreciate that.
Cool video! Crazy random your channel got recommended to me and it has less than a thousand subs. New sub!
Yeah I’m starting to get consistent and try to grow. Thanks for the sub. Let me know if you have anything you would like to see.
I love this car. Riding in it was amazing. Loved the feel of the traction control as it kicked in. Being 6’3”, the leg room was the best so far. The color was awesome as well.
I think it’s the best color McLaren has.
Get a Porsche, you'll have a faster, better and more reliable car.
Unless you have a baby peen then definitely get this!
Cool review, i was hoping you would cover the maintenance cost for the year too but good to know it's been mostly reliable for you with minor issues. Minor issues on a car like this is something I could live with.
I only had to pay for the annual maintenance and it was like $2,000
@@Busterburg not bad, considering what kind of car it is. How is the insurance cost for this thing? I always wondered that....
@BMI007 mine is just over $200 a month. If I didn’t live where I do I think it would be cheaper.
@@Busterburg good info to know, I don't plan on getting something like this but similar so it's good to know real numbers for reference, appreciate your transparency man, gave the vid a 'like'!
@BMI007 thanks I appreciate that. That’s my goal to share more real life ownership versus the others that are trying to flex about the fact that they own it. I’m just a regular guy that loves cars and want to share the real life experience of owning them.
Nice video - thanks. Found this today after doing 6 laps in a 720S in the UK (track day experience). Amazing car. Mark.
Thanks Mark, what did you think of the 720 on the track I really want to take mine out and do some laps
@@Busterburg OK - so my current drive is a 2022 RS5. Previous to that I was driving from 2014-2021 a Litchfield RS6 with 750 BHP. Both are nice cars, but still made for the road. So today the 720S was after I had driven a Lamborghini Superleggera earlier in the day. The Lambo was OK, but to be honest felt a bit like an Audi (no wonder !!). The 720s was (is) a true race car. Clearly can be driven on the road, but it is a track car for sure. I had an instructor in the passenger seat shouting instructions, and I got quicker and quicker over the 6 laps. Very little use of brakes (was scary ! but got used to that after a while). The track was dry today and I was told that if it was wet we might not have even gone out on the track - so appears that for track use you need some real respect if wet with that rear drive and two turbos kicking in! Overall - very enjoyable day. Enjoy your car (s) !! Mark.
@@markramsay6399 that’s awesome. I almost bought a RS5 but my kids are too big to fit. I loved the car though.
Great video man! 720s is one of my dream cars, I will own one one day!
They are fun. Keep making the right Decisions and you will get one.
great review man! What are you doing to be able to afford such a great car?
I own an automotive locksmith business.
Nice honest review 👏🍻👏👏
Thanks I appreciate that.
Hey man great review! Have you ever been in a GT3 RS OR GT2 RS? I want to know if you can fit in it good since we are the same height, thanks!
Yes they actually have plenty of room I have almost bought both of them but ultimately decided on something else.
@@Busterburg Perfect thats great to hear! My goal is a GT2 RS but would be very happy with the GT3 RS. And thanks for the quick response!
@ShawnFX I don’t think you can go wrong with either option.
Great review and thank you for not driving it like an immature fool, revving it till catches fire then blame McLaren for the fire! 🤦🏾
I drive fast but try to use the car for how it was built. Shooting flames out the back isn’t part of that so I just don’t see how it makes sense.
@@Busterburg Totally agree, most reviews are in it to generate views for cash. Your review was genuine, refreshing and genuine. When I drove the 720, I was totally impressed and upon laying my eyes on this car I could tell right off it's design language would be timeless. A friend of mine sent me your video because he knows I love MClarens, I'm glad he did. May you continue to enjoy that beautiful car and create good content brother!
@Clemente4u thanks I appreciate that
Check out the brodit 720S phone mount helps keep the phone up in view without getting in the way.
This is awesome thank you for the recommendation.
Good content my man. 720S is the best buy in exotic cars right now in my eyes.
Thanks I appreciate that. I thought the 720 was the Best Buy when I bought mine and they went down more. Now there is absolutely nothing that can compete in its price range.
When Mclaren leaves bolts unfastened and delivered it to a customer, that is why it is so cheap!!!
Is that what happened to you? That sucks.
On what planet is it acceptable to pay for a supercar and have door seals not work??!!! Not to mention the laundry list of problems you cited!! They should have had Toyota build it at their factory!!
@@Busterburg Nope. I wasn't the sucker who buys these things! Google it! And I thought the Chevy C8 was bad....
how about your left leg placement because of the tub structure? very curious about that
I use the foot rest where a clutch would be or pull my foot back closer to the seat. It’s not that bad as long as you wear narrower shoes.
nice nice review. Really nice man.
Thanks
The seal peeling off a newish supercar. Oh dear.
Yeah that’s a rough one. I showed it to the sales guy last time I was there and he acted like it was no big deal. I am taking it in to have service look it over before the warranty expires I will have them fix it. They are way better with customer service than the sales people.
Had my 570 for 3 years now and definitely getting a 720 this summer! Torn between Azores or Memphis red
I don’t think you can wrong with either color. I think the Azores is the best McLaren color but Memphis Red in the sun is amazing too. You are going to love the upgrade to the 720.
@@Busterburg Have a ton of friends with 720s and 765s. The 765 aint in my budget tho! Im leaning towards Azores because its not as loud as papaya or Mclaren orange but still super nice. Loving the content BTW👍
@@dennison1500 thanks I appreciate you watching. I have the same issue with the 765 the price should come down on them in awhile.
The inside of urs is dark and plain because of the luxury model leather. A lot of performance models with the alcantara have striped seats, dash and door panels that make a huge difference. I also have the optional floor mats that match the stripes. For me the leather looks too plain.
@executiveinvestments I like the look and the smell of leather. I am going to add new seatbelts and take your idea of the floor mats that will help a lot.
this is actually a really cool review
Thanks I appreciate that.
Thanks I appreciate that.
Beautiful car! Which first supercar or sports car do you recommend for a car enthusiast?
That really depends on your budget but the first gen R8 is an amazing car. Either V8 or V10.
@Busterburg thank you so much for your reply. Yeah the R8 looks like a sweet ride
They are so comfortable and drive amazing. The maintenance is less than others. Both V8 and V10 sound amazing and they hold their value pretty good.
I m italian,so i would PERSONALLY chose an f8 tributo over this..
But it is undeniable that the 720s will go down in history
It's insanely fast, and it looks so sexy.
Salute from italy
I think it’s responsible for all the new cars more aggressive styling and performance boost. The F8 is amazing, I like the F12 style more but the F8 is second for me.
@@Busterburg same, i prefer of course the f12/812 ,but they have the engine in the front and overall they are super gt cars ,not really track cars like the 720s
@@Busterburg and btw i m 100% sure that (as you said) the "opponent" (n1 ferrari) had to level up to match the insane performance of the 720s
@@Artofwar3004 they did an amazing job leveling their performance up and keeping their style and adding just a touch of aggressiveness to the design.
supercar buying decisions: do I need to put my hat all the way on? good-bye
That was an example of how low the roofs are for me that wearing a hat can make me to tall. Thanks for clicking on it.
How many miles have you driven? And what maintenance has needed to be done so far?
I am actually working on a video for cost of ownership. But I have driven just over 3,000 miles and I have only had to do one annual service that was $2500 I have spent money on some other things but that was the only real have to.
Build quality has always been an issue on these, I would rather have a stage 1 992 Turbo S 🎉🎉🎉
I can’t explain it but every time I go for a Porsche I end up with something else. They are great cars it just hasn’t happened yet.
Hello there, very nice review, have you been honnest about reliability? I got some some nice cars and read a lot about Mcalren, can you tell me? Here in Canada, some crazy fools paid almost 300K cad dollars for the hideous C8 Z06 wannabe ugly and slow in straight line Corvette ( 3750lbs for 670HP trap speed like 130MPH and 720S is 140-142mph trap )...I saw onlye 2 720S in my life since 2017 but saw C8 everytime, how it can be possible that some people pay a Chevrolet Corvette C8Z06 300K like you can have a nice 720S low milleage close to this price??
I haven’t had any crazy maintenance bills yet I have one soon that will be over $4500 and the warranty won’t cover it. Chevy has done a really good job making people think the C8 is a limited number car but it obviously isn’t. I don’t understand why so many people are paying so much for them right now.
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it!@@Busterburg
Anytime
Your car's color is gorgeous. That's the color I would pick.
Thanks it’s my favorite color on the 720S.
I'm 19 years old. I'm going from video to video asking supercar owners. How'd they do it, how did they achieve that dream. And as a kid who's dream car is the McLaren. If you could give me some tips for starting my business, and buy my first supercar! Appreciate ur videos and effort, wish you the best in life! Peace ✌🏻
Hit me up on IG and I can go more in-depth but once you decide on what it is you want to do put in the time to develop that skill until you have mastered it. As far as the cars go don’t rush it and get in over your head. Enjoy the journey and make good decisions with your purchase and upgrades so you can maximize what the car is worth when you are ready for the next one.
Have successful parents then pretend you're actually successful like this guy.
@zachphil3203 hahahaha my parents will be happy to know you say there successful. Thanks for watching though.
@@Busterburg they're*
Thanks I don’t know how I could get by without knowing I made that mistake your contribution is greatly appreciated. I guess my trust fund can’t buy me better grammar. Luckily the police were on duty to correct it.
the kid in the frunk got me lol
She was so excited to do that.
What year is your car? Is it a performance, luxury, or standard model? What were your miles at time of purchase?
I have a 2019 and it’s a luxury. It had about 13,000 miles when I bought it.
@@BusterburgThank you. How many miles now?
@qmccall0328 16,300
Haha do you live in Boca or Ft Laud? The destination you put in is near where I live LOL. Pretty sure I've seen you around.
I live in Boca. If you see me out and about say hi I would love to meet you.
@@Busterburg I take my Huracan up there to get my haircut every once in a while. Do you go to the shows down here? Holman is hosting something this weekend.
I will look it up and see if I can make it. Do you ever go to supercar Saturday I usually go to that but haven’t been to it since it moved.
@@Busterburg Yeah, we rallied to it a few weeks ago. I actually have a video up of it hahaha. The event was pretty good, hot as balls though.....I enjoy the rallies to the show more than the show.
What I hate the most is not having an engine door. I like looking at my engine and have an easy access. I hate this about my 570GT
It was weird at first but I also don’t think there is a ton to look at on these. I do like having the option of looking though.
how did u get rich
@waterbucket4358 I don’t know if I’m rich yet, but I own a business with my wife and we have been working at it for years. Don’t be afraid to put in time and master a skill once you have money will follow.
@@Busterburg what type of buisness? Product or some other thing?
@truthseekcatalog7600 wholesale automotive locksmith
Apart from the space, how does this car compare to the Lamborghini Huracan or Aventador? If you were a few inches shorter, would you still prefer the McLaren?
I think the 720 is better than the Aventador for sure.
@@Busterburg Any reasons?
It’s way easier and more comfortable to drive. My Aventador felt very outdated with all the technology features navigation, Bluetooth, the screen and controls. The Mclaren is way easier to park too.
@@Busterburg Awesome, thanks!
@nikhilmehta2827 I found a few more cool thing the 720 can do, I am finishing up the video now it will be out Sunday.
how much is your insurance monthly/yearly? I almost bought a McLaren but the insurance was too much $$$ for SF/SD markets. Had to go with a 10+ yr old Ferrari instead for the "classic car" huge discount
$275 a month.
@@Busterburgnot bad at all are you actually covered 😅. I pay $200/month for a mustang
@mikea8081 yeah I have really good coverage. I also have a lot of discounts for all the different types of insurance I have through the same company.
I didn’t know people actually used the navigation in cars lol 😂 sick car
I wouldn’t if it would connect to my car with apple car play or android auto. There isn’t a great place to put your phone to see without totally looking away from the road.
Whats the stereo like?
Has it ever broke down?
Nice video
I almost never use it, I like to hear the car. When my kids are with me they will connect their phone with Bluetooth and play songs. The speakers sound great and the connection has not dropped off. It is weird if you want to switch to a new phone, it only lets one of the connected devices have the ability to play music. So if it’s connected to my oldest daughters phone but one of my younger daughters get in the car I have to switch it in the cars Bluetooth settings so they can connect their phone.
@@Busterburg thanks for replying
@AnaAna-xx4md I try to always respond when people ask questions. Thanks for watching.
i had one for 4 months and put 16k miles on it from brand new and the first 8k miles were great but for what i used it for it went to shit very quick, i would go over 200mph many times every time i took out the car(weekends only), and it just couldnt handle what i wanted out of a car, i ended up trading it for a GT Black Series and Renntech tuned it to 1100hp.
That’s crazy, how does the Black Series handle it?
@@Busterburg like butter, the high speed handling and the way it takes corners is incredible, definitely worth your time checking em out if you do any super high speed stuff
I went with an Aston Martin Vantage and I am going to tune it. I couldn’t find a black series for the price I thought they should be. They look and sound awesome so I’m glad to hear they drive as good as they look and sound.
@@Busterburg the vantage is a great car and extremely good looking
What’s the color name of this car?
Helios Orange
So you've demonstrated that you can store small children in the front trunk.
This is why these cars are so popular in Hollywood....
She fit rather comfortably. Too bad you took it in such a dark direction it was just meant to be funny.
@@Busterburg It's because these are dark times.
😂😂😂😂😂
a HUGE plus of the 720 is that its got the largest thrunk of the lot of them somehow. LOL
This and the R8 have the biggest Frunk out of all the cars I have owned.
What color is this considered to be?
Azores Orange
@@Busterburg thanks for replying! That’s really quick haha. Very cool car btw! Hope to be able to own it myself someday 😁
@chianhan I thought the same thing at one point. Keep that goal in mind and work backwards to figure out what you can do today to get you one step closer today.
Are u going to trade it for the 765 LT ?
Not right now. I’m waiting for the price of the 765 to come down more.
@@Busterburg any idea about the 765 LT successor ?
@readyon3506 they did the 750 so maybe they are going to build off of that more? I’m sure they are developing a hybrid successor.
I’d rather the 675 LT over the 720S. Mclaren we’re in a far stronger financial position when they designed & built the 675LT than the 720S & it’s a better engineered car as a result.
Me too but right now you can buy two 720’s for the price of a 765.
Can you please give some examples? I've watched all the Robert Mitchell's videos of him raving about the 675LT on the Nurburgring just wondering in what ways you feel the 72O is inferior.
I was meaning the 765LT is better than the 720S. Just like the 675LT is better than the 650S. Whenever McLaren makes a LT they upgrade and fix the base car.
What do you for a living?
I own my own business. It’s an automotive locksmith business
I own my own business. It’s an automotive locksmith business
@@Busterburg oh wow, really cool hear man. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks I appreciate that
Do the negatives how often has it been in the shop homie
It needed a new battery at the beginning, the annual service, and now to fix a small paint flaw.
What do you do ?
I own my own business, I wrote a book, and I help other business owners with their business.
storage space- Hostage slowly runs away :D
She made a quick getaway.
Ihan romu! Voisi tuosta 500€ maksaa
Er, take your hat off then??? Or is it surgically attached?
Nope not surgically attached. I wear hats a lot and I think it’s really annoying to have to take it off just to drive a car. Also hats are not that much taller than my actual head so if my hat touches my head would be ridiculously close or possibly touching without the hat. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Why bother when you only allowed 60 mph
I enjoy owning and driving them. It’s a different experience to own this car and go 60 mph than owning a Prius and go 60 MPH.
Looks like Brook’s 720s
I don’t know how to check and see if it is or not.
Get rid of the hat😂nice colour
Who should I replace the hat with? Thanks for watching.
@@Busterburg 😂😂
Daily a 2020 Audi R8 and 2021 McLaren 720s Spider and the McLaren looks way better and is way faster
Yeah the McLaren is so fast. How do you like the R8? I haven’t had one of that generation. Mine was a first gen.
@@Busterburg It doesn't get as much attention as the McLaren (good or bad thing depending on the person), but the glorious V10 engine + exhaust sounds fighting each other is unfair when compared to the V8 TT 720s. I'm more of a sound > speed guy so to each their own, but I think I might prefer the R8 slightly more for that reason alone.
Also I'm really big into music and as the cars warm up I like to blast some tunes in both. The Bang and Olufsen upgraded system in the R8 sounds 5x better than the Bowers & Wilkins system in the McLaren. The bass is seriously impressive in the R8.
Storage space is better in the McLaren even with the lack of glove box. You thought the 720s frunk was small? The R8 is a joke haha.
Awesome you had a 1st gen! Most car people regard the 1st gen as the most beautiful and classic of all R8s.
@VoRLiN yeah I had a first gen gated V10 I wish I had kept it. I agree 💯 with you on the sound
@@Busterburg Lambo Huracan has both the crazy supercar looks and the V10 sound, but you lose out on the great sound system and a few other things that make the R8 a bit more of a daily in comparison. I also find Huracans to be a lot more common than R8s in the cities I live.
Now I wouldn't mind a V12 weekend car like an 812 or Aventador S one day!
@VoRLiN so had an Aventador it was a dream car for sure but I wasn’t in love with the way it drives. I don’t really fit in Huracans or 812 so I have a smaller pool of cars I can pick from.
Nowhere to put his wallet he says... I bet there isn't haha
If I leave it in my pocket it always falls out and I have to search around and find it. It’s a real problem. 😂
@@Busterburg Put it in my pocket, I have a zip so will be safe :-)
I need to get some of those.
Mclaren 750s has solved all the interior tech issues
I think the 750 improved on the Atura. took that base and made it better.
Hope thats a leased Car. Otherwise you will loose a lot of Money. Depreciation of this Car is about 30 to 40% the First year.
No it’s not leased but it was purchased used so the initial depreciation is not as drastic. I have tried leasing and purchasing and the purchasing worked best for me.
You love it but never expected to keep it for a year? So it’s not a car, really… just a TH-cam flex.
It means I usually don’t keep these cars for a full year just like the long list of cars before them. I don’t know how much of a flex it is but if that’s what you think that’s fine.
@@Busterburg Some TH-camrs do the cars, some just do the lifestyle and the cars are a means to an end for views and clicks - it’s a commercial enterprise. Not being familiar with your content, I was hoping for the former. No big deal at all. Love the colour you went for.
@colin5577 I like to buy them and enjoy them and then move to the next house me so I can experience as many of them as possible. That being said I just bought my 765LT and I plan on keeping it longer term. I want to hold on to this one. I understand some channels get cars for views but my channel is not big enough to support that type of purchase right now. These are all for my enjoyment and I like to share that experience on my channel. Good and bad.
@@Busterburg Fair enough. Hope to catch some useful content on the LT at some point. The cars aren’t without their issues and it’s great to get a bit of info on the purchase experience, dealer support etc. Also - thanks for taking the time to reply. That’s worth a sub to help you along.
@colin5577 so far the LT has been amazing only one McLaren issue nothing crazy and it went away. I try to answer as many as I can. If you take the time to comment something I try to answer Thanks for watching.
The good news: If you put your faith in Jesus and repent of your sins you will be saved.
Allah is the greatest and Jesus (peace be upon him) is his messenger tho used to perform mighty miracles.
@@rawwwwable If you believe He is a prophet of God why don’t you listen to what He says?
Matthew 16:13-16 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

@@Juduhboth of you are so gay talking about your made up stories 😂
What are the bad news? Don’t sugar coat it, just give it to me straight.
1st world problems
Definitely the truth. That’s why me and my friends have the joke, “this is why nobody cares about our problems”
@@Busterburg I totally respect the facts don't get me wrong but you know how it is. The rest of us are essentially peasants with ordinary vehicles and ordinary doors!
I 💯 understand. The doors are a thing for sure if the doors go up then magically it gets more respect. 😂😂. I do the same thing with Bugatti owners.
Idk why but Mclaren just doesnt sound good. It looks cool etc but i hlonly hear bad things abt it. Its like they sell supercars tjat are recycled. I like the concept of the 720s but i would never buy a Mclaren if i had the money
The sound is definitely not as good as some others in its class. Although it does get better when you are actually driving it. I have had issues with quality on a lot of these types of cars I just don’t get why these brands think the name alone will make up for lesser quality. Mclaren so far has been equal with Lamborghini for me. A few of the issues I had with mine in the beginning were the service departments fault not the cars. They forgot to plug some things back in when working on it and they installed the radar detector sensors to close to the parking sensor. What car is your dream car to own?
@@Busterburg oh no i didnt mean the sound hahaha i meant it doesnt sound good because everyone is talking bad about mclaren. I only hear bad things abt the brand
@@Busterburg oh dang Mclaren on par eith Lambo ? Dang i tough Lambo would be way better then hahah. But tjat still sucks tho that after dervice they ruin stuff when assembling thr car again. I would hate that. But comparing them i would choose lambo over Mclaren. My dream cars are: Mercedes AMG E63s pre face lift, AMG GTR in solarbeam yellow, ferrari 812 superfast, lamborghini huracan perfnormante and porsche gt3RS. And if i would be rich rich i would deffo buy a mansory edition car. I love those. Fully custom
@@Busterburg im new to your channel and i see you said you have alot of quality problems with these high end cars. That sucks man. You would indeed expect good quality. Anyway imma check ur channel out :) 💯
That’s a good list. I haven’t had a Huracan so I can’t talk about that one specifically I had a Gallardo and Aventador. I have heard the Huracan is way better.
I’ve been trying to convince myself why I should buy this car and I can’t come to a logical conclusion. The Porsche 911 just screams practicality to me.
I don’t think a McLaren is the car to buy for practicality. I have never owned a Porsche and only driven a few so I have a limited knowledge to compare, but I am underwhelmed every time I look at Porsche and excited every time I look at McLaren. It really boils down to what are your wants from the car? I think the 720 is the best car at that price range right now.
the world's most boring video. well done.
Thanks for watching.
sorry to burst your bubble...i didn;t. @@Busterburg
@HelenCrane-jl1nv no bubble to burst. How about this, thanks for clicking on it and giving it a shot before taking the time to comment.
i own one. i hate it from my exp. the car interior is not much better than other ordinary car.
That sucks you don’t like it. What are you planning on getting next?
@@Busterburg yeah mate what to do. i think not suited me as far as 2 years own and still had it in my garage. 😮💨
That’s how I felt with the Aston Martin I had. I’m looking at what my options are now for my next car.
That smudged looking carbon is crap anyway! Looks horrible.
What do you think of aftermarket body kits?

By the time i can afford it, mclarens will be all electric and the gas version will be obsolete
I don’t think electric is the long term solution. I think they will transition to some sort of bio fuel eventually.
electric cars are a joke. Hybrid is the future. So P1?!
I’m not sure I feel like there will be another option soon that won’t take batteries.
