    Main complaint i see for the gts is transmission issues. They had a recall in them, but people are still having them fall in low mileage. Plus, the ones i keep seeing for sale have like 6-10 owners that throws up some red flags too.

    Got a 2016 one. Place so far 500 miles in one week and it’s pretty good. One biggest flaw is it’s low and gets a lot to get use to the cars dimensions. Also the rear suspension makes a squeak over bumps that can be heard into the cabin. Ride quality is horrible, definitely not made for everyday City roads. Other than that, it’s actually the best sports car I’ve ever owned

    Cylinder sleeve scoring is a huge issue with the 4.0 biturbo. Once it starts, the cylinder and pistons destroy each other. You’d never know it by sound or drive ability. You see it in the oil filter, metal particles.
    Suspension issues are also common, at $6,000 a corner it can get frustrating. Like all MB products, they eat brakes as well.
    I owned a GT-R for a year on lease. One month in the shop under warranty to replace a fuel related issue, injection lines were developing vapor lock. I’d start and drive and when engine got to temp, if I shut it off it would start in a cripple mode. You’d be lucky to get to 50 mph. I turned it in and instead bought a C8 Z06. $70,000 less and twice the beast.

    • @Amgenetics
      @Amgenetics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ve never heard of any of these issues you mentioned and I’ve been surrounded by the 4.0 engine for years on end. No suspension, engine, or fuel issues. I’ve had mine for 20,000 miles and don’t have these issues either. As for the brakes (normal steel brakes), I’m about to replace them for the first time, and that’s including heavy track days. They would’ve easily lasted to 30,000 miles without being replaced. Like all brands, some cars will have complications though. I think you just got unlucky with your GTR. C8 is a great car too

    If you are a guy in your 20's and 30's not married no kids you would be a fool not to get this car if you can afford it. Panty dropper. Women love it, it screams WINNER! Hordes of teenagers at a buccees surrounded my car before i got out. People approach me constantly and i get tons of compliments. I have owned M cars, a mint 1987 E30, Z4 tricked out, tricked out gladiator, you name it and this car gets more attention than all of them combined. The gas mileage is just freakin ridiculous. Even driving in comfort mode and conservative there is no way this car is 16/22. Absolutely no way. I didn't buy it for "good" gas mileage, but it is indeed annoying to have to go to the gas station 5x a week to fill up.
