Re: Der Beast, but what is it?
Well a mini review.
Right you sarky radges....In summary it's brilliant.
My avg MPG on the trip for the past 350 miles has been 20mpg. Commute to work is 22mpg. It's only in town where it drops.
Speaking to Derek it's pretty comparable with his MPG in the Evora.
I love all the toys. It's comfortable nice place to sit. Seats are awesome in their support. I don't have B&O stereo but I can't complain. I'm no audiophile...that's AUDIOPHILE but it's impressive. Just an great multimedia package...not that the driver amongst you are interested in that.
Noise is immense. never heard anything like it before. For a big V8 is revs fast.
Once I break 1k miles I'll take a vid of the car in race mode.
It's coped OK so far in the snow but you do have to drive very carefully.
Oversteer/understeer I don't know what it does. Road are too icy to find out and I couldn't tell the difference. Need Mass for that
Brakes are great. It's got some massive callipers on there.
Yup, better MPG would be great but then you'd lose the characteristics and performance.
4WD for the snow but then it only snows bad 2-3 days a year.
The outset cost to buy one is obviously something you can't escape and I'll take a bath when it comes to selling it.
Loving it so far. Not missing the Aston although I've only seen Matt once in the car.
Dare I say it a perfect car for what I need. Quite happy to cruise along with the whole family or warp speed when I'm on my own.
Where I go after this I do not know!
Still love to try a GT3
Just need to get a Lotus to earn my membership on here...I suppose I do own a pair of speedcats.

Does that mean I should maybe think about buying my first ever Lotus?Gareth wrote:Just need to get a Lotus to earn my membership on here...I suppose I do own a pair of speedcats.

Re: Der Beast, but what is it?
Really tempted on one of these cheap contract hire deals if you're getting that mpg
