I think Mr Potato was doing a little bit of a Clarkson. It is easy to point out what you consider a fault when it is not something you are paying for. If you are just looking at "what should I spend my hard earned money on" then it does have some challanges compared to a Bentley/Porsche/AMG etc.
If you are looking for something that is yours the values are yours to choose and you can weight them how you like. If the Coupe was not so damn beautiful then some of the problems I have had with it would have meant it was in Autotrader and gone by now. It is just so damn pretty. It is such an event. The grin almost hurts after a run in it.
For £100k it damn well should be. But the little niggles and resolution do leave a rough flavour sometimes. I just remind myself that the people building it don't aim to make it frustrating and are working as hard as they can. Its not as if something that complex and handmade can be easy to complete. We just have standards set by BMW/Toyota/Dacia which hides a MASSIVE investment in the entire end to end design, automation and build. The scale difference remains staggering.
