Just took out my new orange targa sagaris through Chelsea and Sloane Square. The response was incredible , people hanging out of car windows taking pictures. Cyclists almost colliding with parked cars, people standing in the middle of the road and snapping pictures. I've lived here for 20 years with some nice cars but even this was a new one on me.


Ps car does not like sitting in traffic !!!!!!

Sags always seem to pull in a crowd, they still look mental even today. Your orange Targa is a particularly nice example in a stunning colour as well. Glad you are enjoying the car.

Same sort of figures for me in traffic too, and for my Tuscan... Seems the norm.


Can not wait to bring mine into central london, show the Harrods visitors what real cars sound and look like wink

  • Dash ECU temp will usually always be wrong - approx about 10% out
  • 100 is not that rare. Anything about 105-108+ then an issue

Agreed on the Dash ECU temp's being out..

In the Sagaris I saw 100 on the hottest of hot days (in traffic with air-con on) but only saw 101+ when I had a leak in the radiator (pin hole, tiny tiny water usage) - new radiator and piping immediately fixed that.

However given that the Dash ECU is probably so out of tolerance, no two car's will register the same temperature exactly.
