675LT review after 3*570 and a 730s
Discussion
My first post here.
After 3 years of enjoying the 570s (in 3 iterations) and a disaster purchase of a 720s, I watched prices of 675 over 2019 as a remarkable collapse unfolded. Having owned a lively F40 for 5 years (which I had to sell given ludicrous price rise), I have been looking for a car that could be as exciting.
I found a lovely ceramic grey 675 at Mclaren Manchester. It had 9k miles on it, 2 previous owners. I ended up swapping my 570 and putting in some cash. Asking price was 195, I paid substantially less and made sure to have a multi year warranty.
I have now had the car for 3 months, covered around 2k miles in the UK only (so far). Thoughts:
- fault free.
- it feels very grown up compared to the 570, damping is effective but obviously much firmer.
- interior stripped out, kite exhaust and intake noise, more road noise, makes the car feel faster at slower speed. This I like a lot. Makes the whole experience much more tactile.
- car is obviously sharper than 570 and more engaging than 720.
- love the look, love the pipes.
- love the carbon air brake and exterior carbon
I think (hope) this car will be fun to own, great to drive and ultimately money good.
I would buy one over a 720s every day of the week and think it is a bargain sub £200k.
Would love to meet other owners of anything to discuss!
