Can any Mclaren owners on PH give an honest ownership experience, in terms of reliability issues and servicing costs?

I'm considering of buying one of the Sports Series, coming from several Porsche 911 which all have been faultless.
I'm hearing that 720S have quite a few issues?

If anyone can let me know, good or bad, would appreciate hearing back from you.

Many thanks,

There is a Mclaren sub group in the supercar section - worth posting there.

I’ve had 2, a 2013 12c and a 2015 650s and both were pretty much spot on.

A few niggles (knocking noise, dab stopped working and hoses coming loose) all fixed under warranty.

Worth reading the buyers guides here

(The group has 300 owners on it).


In 2015 onwards Mclaren doubled production as well increased the different models made, and since then sadly it appears quality has gone backwards.

The big issue with sports series cars appears to be corrosion - fixed under warranty but can mean the car is off the road for 6 weeks etc (in part due to back log at service centres)
