Very p****d off owner!!
Discussion
On collecting my Tuscan in Oct 2000 I wrongly thought I would be driving TVR''s for some years, but in reality I can safely say I will never buy or recomend anyone to buy a TVR.
My list of gripes
1. The paint is bubbling and cracking and in some areas has come off totaly. Every body panel is affected by this, so the car basicly needs a complete re-spray and after only 8 months. What will it be like in 3 years?
2. The interior is also poorly put together. The back of the seat has fallen off as has the trim around the instrument binacle and the carpets don''t fit (lots of frayed edges).
3. Water in the passenger footwell which has allegedly been fixed 4 times now. The last time they resealed the small rear windows with mastic and neatened so poorly that you would not accept it in your bathroom and they do this to a £46,500 car.
4. As with all Tuscans the speedo with a mind of it''s own.
5.The door closed warning that won''t go away. Some what anoying.
6. Most recently the oil pressure is starting to play up.
True it looks and sounds fantastic and some owners seem satisfied with it on that basis. But I am not, for £46,500 I do not expect a car this poorly put together. I imagine that there are plenty of other owners who feel the same and I would like to hear from you.
I'm on Tuscan no.2 , this one better than the last - couldn't be worse - but you still wouldn't expect... snapped throttle cable, duff battery, blown bulbs, dodgy fitting trim etc etc... on a pretty expensive motor and all within 8k mls. There certainly always seems to be something to sort out. Dealers only seem interested in relieving you of cash for basic servicing, getting them to carry out warranty work is painful, I was told a replacement battery could be fitted 'in 4 weeks', b. that, I forked out for one that day. God, if only it didn't look, drive and sound great! Anyone got a dealer they love, distance no object if they're good?!
