To CSR or not ?
Discussion
As a CSR260 owner, i will say that the ride is almost incredible for a car such as this......I wanted swoopy dash until i bought mine with "standard" carbon dash and would not change it ever.
If you can stomach the cost of a CSR i would say at the very least have a go in one at a dealer.

Curious, I have an S3 and I've sat in an SV (though, it was years ago).
I found the car a bit too big for me. The gearstick was too far forward and the pedals uncomfortable even with the chair adjusted forward.
I assume the CSR would have the same issues given it's based on the same chassis size?

Six years ago, I was looking to upgrade my live axle Seven & I hired a CSR200 for a long weekend.
Going from 120bhp to 200 was a bit of an eye opener & I loved the extra power. However, I just didn’t gel with the CSR chassis. I found the smooth-riding, un-flustered, slick competence of it a bit… dull.
That said, I have several friends who have CSRs & adore them. I think handling is very subjective, different people like different things in a sports car. I’ve no doubt the CSR is technically superior to a standard Seven in an engineering sense, but personally I found it a bit uninvolving.
