Steven I would agree, but let's be honest I doubt that anyone on this forum bought an aero on the basis of a magazine reviews. Maybe a few Maxis went that way. But the vast majority of owners are attracted for other reasons. I was at a Sport Bears event last weekend, I had two rides who had thought about aeros, but once they had been for a spin where off to look what was in the market.

Another TVR owner was talking about overall cost of ownership, when I relayed my experience in the cost of owning two aeros considered that they had a bum deal in terms of keeping the car on the road. It was this that put mr off the TVR and over to the aero. To me the aero is like a modern classic car, it will go wrong, but then again so has my BMW and every Audi I have owned.

I agree with Gerwyn that MMC could do more on basic QC and I do feel they may regret not doing so with the continuing move up market, into the world where people are too busy and use some the motoring mags to help short list vehicles.
