Doing the same for a new Roadster (which I've driven and enjoyed) would work out at £70k in the form that I'd like it. Given that the balance would update the daily driver I'm tempted.

OK so it's too early to say what the Plus 6 will turn out like (except for the potential to overheat - anyone clocked the changed front end since launch?) I thought I'd ask what the views were on a brand new 3.7. I know they have a reputation for going backwards through a hedge but that's an operator error in my book.

By the way, I'm still on the original battery after 15years - chuck it or stick with it as it's always on a conditioner (battery lasted longer than the conditioner which came with the car)

Thoughts welcome

I had a new 3.7... there were no 'rev hang' issues with it - but I thought the engine sounded like a bag of spanners. There was a real 'buzz' around 2,500 rpm - a clatter. I heard this on several 3.7's. No other issues other than (of course) the suspension from a medieval ox cart. smile

I traded mine in (at a huge loss) for a new 4.8 +8 which I really like.... drives like a modern sports car and sounds like Brian Blessed being assaulted in a shower cubicle.

My preference would be to get the +6 if you can stretch to it.

+8 4.8
