I'm torn between practicality and pure enjoyment for myself. I could do with 4 seats as it would keep the wife and daughter happy, however we always have the wifes car to use as a family.

So I can't decide between the following:

Audi R8 Plus vs McLaren 540c or Ferrai California

The California ticks the 4 seats box but the new McLaren looks awesome too, even if it will be a bare cockpit.

I'll be driving it everyday too, so i'm not sure if that counts out the California and the McLaren. Do McLaren's have many issues?

Whilst the Audi is probably the most expensive of them all i know its going to run like clockwork on a daily basis.

Any help, advice, opinions welcome, thanks.

really the 12c? So an approved 12c will probably come with a good spec too right?

Firstly, thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply.

Im going to test drive the R8 both new and an older 5.2 manual, quite a difference between 80k and 120k!

Then i'm going to test drive the 540c, the McLaren finance option is pretty good with a 30k deposit around 7%apr, however i think Audi will get it much lower than that, ive heard around 5%.

Will keep you all posted, thanks so much.
