Long Term Gallardo Onwership....What to expect?
Discussion
I am 2 years and 8000 trouble free miles into LP570-4 Superleggera ownership. No current plans to change, as my car represents something special to me and I just love everything about it, quirks and all.
Would be interested to hear from people that have long term experience of owning and more importantly actually using their Gallardo..ideally the same car, as opposed to those that have had Gallardo for a while but changed their car from time to time.
How resilient are they?
What are the “usual” issues that may crop up?
What should I be specifically ask to be checked out? (mine is going to Pangbourne for its annual service in about 3 weeks and will get a full inspection as normal, but nevertheless any info on what to ask to be checked is appreciated)
Why have you hung onto yours?
What do you love/hate about these cars?
That kind of thing....funny stories welcome, as are nightmare stories - share your pain! Lol. Not interested in any speculative discussion on future values etc, that is not the objective for me.

Thank you for sharing! Great story about the lights! I still get confused with the switch in terms of raising or lowering the Windows. It is a bit counter intuitive. My wife's DB9 window switches work exactly the same way, but these are the only cars I have come across so far where down on the switch is window up and up on the switch is window down!
When I first collected mine, I drove all the way from Pangbourne to Maldon in Essex marvelling at the aggressiveness of the car, the brutality of the Gear change (mine is egear) and the sharpness of the throttle, but was slightly concerned as it made for quite an aggressive drive and wasn’t sure if I would be happy with that long term....
Turns out I was in Corsa Mode! Usually stick to Sport these days.
