    Everyone I personally know with a McLaren says they love it and haven't had any problems, but online people say they're a nightmare when it comes to fixing them. Overall, they seem like really awesome cars. Nice video!

    Thank you for your review, I was confused with all the negative comments as well. Then I realized that most of the reviews are done by people that don’t own the car. They jump into the car for 2 hours and make comments. Everyone I know that owns a 720, including myself, don’t have issues with the negative comments because we live with the car. Thanks again.

    Bad? It's a masterpiece of automotive engineering. How can that be bad? It annihilated every single contemporary car, and most of those coming out for the next 5 years. The only bad thing about the 720S is that I don't have one parked in my garage.

  • @lambonasty
    @lambonasty ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Everyone's experience is different.
    I love hearing people that have/had 720's with no issues. That wasn't my experience. I started with the 600lt, and loved it! Had it for about a year and decided to swap up to the 720s. In many ways I'm glad that I did. The 720 was SO fun, and the power difference was noticeable! Which is something I wasn't so sure would be the case before I owned them both.
    The first 6 months of the 720s was pure bliss. However after that, things went downhill for me. The ECU burned out, a day after I got it back from service. Of course the ECU was covered, but it took about 8 weeks maybe longer, to get a new one shipped over from the UK. The car drove even better after the ECU, but then started having suspension failures. Then the windows stopped working. All in the span of about 2 months. At that point, I gave up on it and sold it. Having said that and having owned 2 McLaren's... The pro's of a McLaren is that it's a great drivers car. Great value in terms of the speed you're getting at the $250k+ price range. Most people are probably cross shopping to Lamborghini and Ferrari, and the McLaren is faster.
    However, the con's of McLaren that I didn't take into consideration, and at that time didn't even know to take into consideration.. are the lack of "Brand". (And the reliability concerns are very, very real).
    And what I mean by that, is if you own a McLaren, you're experience with the dealership/service department is like owning a Honda Civic except one that will potentially give you a new headache every 90 days. Whenever you need to to come in for service, it's entirely on you to get your car there and figure out a way home. Again, with McLaren being my first venture in the supercar world, I thought nothing of it. However, I traded my daily driver (GWagon) in for a new Urus. And that's when my eyes were opened. Lamborghini has a "Brand". They've sent 3 drivers out to my house for various reasons. I left a spare key at the dealership to my wife's car. They needed another signature on the contract. I couldn't figure out a certain feature.. Each time.. No problem, someone came to my house and took care of the issue. Upcoming service appointments? You guessed it, someone will come drive my car to the dealership and drop it off when it's done. The experience has been NIGHT and DAY.. Mind you, it's a Urus, not a Huracan. So I'm leaving reliability concerns out of it. Though so far, no issues on the Urus. But I can say, I wished I started my relationship with Lamborghini earlier, and bought a Huracan instead of the 600lt back in the day.
    One last thing on the "Brand" as well. Lamborghini flew me out for a VIP weekend at the Daytona 24hr race. Private jet, beachfront condo, catered food, open bar, hot laps before the race, paddock passes during the race, urus shuttles during the race for exploring the grounds.... Something McLaren hadn't done. And doesn't do from what I've heard from various owners. There's a sense of community lacking at McLaren. And that really is a shame.
    TL;DR - I won't be buying another McLaren. I will be buying more Lamborghinis.

    • @Busterburg
      @Busterburg  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That’s a really good point. All my cars were purchased used so I haven’t been able to experience things like you have. I am with you though my 720 is going to get listed it’s just rough with how the market has dropped on them so I will most likely have it for awhile until the prices fluctuate back up a little. Thanks for the very informative comment.

    • @lambonasty
      @lambonasty ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Busterburg yet another thing I didn’t touch on. The depreciation curve on McLaren is harsher than Ferrari or Lamborghini. I typically like to buy ‘The Weeknd Car’ used (but still under warranty). The reason I sold the 720 was because I felt like the value was gonna tank soon. Especially once they announce the new/refreshed 720S that’s coming out. Didn’t want to be left holding the bag after that announcement. I love McLaren and wish someone else would take over. Whether through an acquisition or just a change in leadership. The potential is there for sure! But they fall woefully short of what they could be! Also it would alleviate their never ending financial troubles. I liked owning the McLaren and loved how much less common they were to see out in the wild vs Lamborghini/Ferrari. But I eventually succumbed to the Italian seduction haha!

    Power seats: I just set memory 1 to be my far forward position for track, and 2 as my relax while sitting in the car position, and then push 1 or 2 until I have the spot I like in-between. Also, the controls are in a seat shape, so not that hard to figure out once you know them.
    For lack of glove box, the three areas (doors, center console) are plenty. This is basically a racecar after all.

      The way I look at these types of cars are they all have issues as long as you minimize your risk like keeping a warranty and know what common issues are to make sure that is not a problem with the car you are trying to buy.

    criticisms that I see a lot are the carbon fiber on the steering wheel, the plastic or carbon fiber parts that surround the center screen, engine overheating and catching fire out of nowhere. They are not very reliable cars, especially compared to the Lamborghini of the time, like a Huracan.

    • @Busterburg

      The plastic around the center screen on mine is great no issues. I am actually really impressed with the cars ability to stay cool so far my Aventador was always running hot if you drive aggressively. The Huracan is amazing but I’m not sure it’s the Lamborghini you would compare this one too. I would probably say the 570 or the Atura now.
