As somebody looking at this and the 620s your reviews have been fantastic. Thank you. Would love more Caterham reviews, specifically comparisons as it seems to be a common question with both this and the 620 being a similar price second hand.
My girlfriend has got one of these but it’s in green Ain’t no way she’s ever gonna get me in it! As much as I love her, she drives like somebody that’s lost it anyway!
You can buy a zip up hood roll bag that can sit on the top of the boot tonneau and also additional luggage bags. A quick Caterham is a phenomenal car, so pure, so immersive, so visceral, so quick, so unique, so special that it is the benchmark for all performance cars.
I think the standard T-Jet / Turismo exhausts sound better, clearer, seem to growl more even in non sport mode. This seems strangely muffled in comparison.
Haven't driven it. Does it feel as fast or faster than Tesla M3P? I know this BMW weighs about 300kg more which makes it less agile than a better handling Tesla M3P which also has better brakes and track mode.
M3P is the best daily i have ever had and i still have Porsche and other cars in the collection. Only issue with living with Tesla is that i get so many haters/jealous people from the fossil community.
Driven 5000 miles in mine. Only 38mpg. Style over substance. The worst of both worlds. Useless battery range, useless petrol range. If false plastic moulded exhausts impress you, you deserve this.
52k, for a stripped car is asking a Lot for very little. I get the whole less is more thing for performance. But this is like a Harley motorcycle . Tomorrows prices for yesterdays tech. Sorry, but simply not worth it. $2500 for them to build it says a lot too.
is this an exhaust with valves or something? What is the abarth mode? I got fined for my stock 2012 abarth 500 being too loud... and I can't pass car inspection because the limit is 87db here in lithuania. Any recommendations?
Then buy it. Every review I have seen is only positive. I can recommend you se the yt channel: A caterham named fern. He has a caterham as a daily driver
I'm on my second SVR. The earlier version, pre-facelift, was noisier and arguably more fun. However, in the UK, they are completely pointless. Yes, it's fun to show wannabes, who tailgate you in their BMWs, just what performance really is, but if you get into that sort of situation, you're not going to be able to restrict the thing to the speed limit - it's there before you can blink almost. It can also be a bit of a handful in the winter, when the roads are wet and covered in dissolved salt. You end up crawling around roundabouts because they get themselves into four-wheel drifts way too easily. Having said that, it's a controllable drift, so I suspect the traction control does actually know you're drifting, but it's a bit disconcerting. With hindsight, I wish I'd gone for the Autobiography version with the supercharged engine, because the reduction in power would hardly be noticeable 99% of the time.
I bought a RRS 4.4 TDV8 a more sensible version. It is better on fuel and the engine produces a subtle growl. The ride is superb. However if money were no object I choose the 5.0 petrol supercharged.
Bearing in mind that this car isn't aimed at the " boy racer", I feel sure the target buyer would be happier with a whisper-quiet grand cruiser, something like the previous models of the Merc SL was.
