To be fair they're good in all areas, but they are common and have no charm. I'd have any Alfa, bar the Alfa Sud, any day of the week over almost any car. Alfas make me hard.

Good Points Looks good Bad Points Lacklustre performance, engine needs revving hard, lethal in the wet. Great for track but no use at all for on road. Very disappointing car General Comments I regret to say after buying my dream car, the Honda S2000, and driving it for 12 months I am very disappointed with it. After two close smashes, one where I turned 180 degrees in the wet I had to get rid of it. Definately an overrated car. Do not buy one. Title: Courtesy Car Post by: Northern Red on Tuesday, August 29, 2006, 15:17:41 If you love Hondas so much, go all retro and buy an NSX.
You can't feel your hair blowing in the wind, but at least you won't look like a gay hairdresser. Title: Courtesy Car Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, August 29, 2006, 15:57:49 People, people. You don't understand the ethics of Honda.
''The engine needs reving hard'' Thats the whole point! People who buy S2000's don't expect to ride on a crest of torque and float away. You have to DRIVE the car, it's a 'drivers car'. As for calling it a hairdressers car :-))( It has a 2.0 litre VTEC engine that produces 246 bhp and you can rev it to 9k rpm with a spine tingling howl to enjoy as you do it. It's a rear wheel drive sports car with serious power and seriously quick around a track, b road you name it. Rant over. Just annoys me when people say ''you have to rev the tits off it'' :-))( Thats what Type R's and Honda performance cars are about! No turbo or supercharging, just normally asspirated machines with driving pleasure in mind. Long may it continue. P.S. Sonic, i love the BMW M3 but a 5 year old E46 model is still over £20k Title: Courtesy Car Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, August 29, 2006, 15:59:28 No, no, no. You're all wrong.

Title: Courtesy Car Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, August 29, 2006, 19:31:08 Quote from: "Fred Elliot" Performance wise the "traditional" supercars will piss all over it ! I love TVRs and I am also a petrol head, and there aren't many traditional supercars that will piss all over it. That car is proper fast. From recollection the Sagaris does 60 in 3.7 seconds and 0-100 in 8.1 seconds. That's quick as fuck. The 0-60 time is the same as a Zonda and an Enzo?! They are not traditional, they are hugely expensive, not to mention produced in very limited numbers. Compare it to what i class as traditional, F430, Gallardo, Scaglietti, Murcielago, etc, etc. It eats them alive up to the wrong side of 150mph. Okay, it doesn't have as high topend as most of those and it is slower than a Lambo xx640, but then its over 100 grand cheaper Oh, I wasn't having a go btw, just making the point that not everyone is aware of how hugely quick TVRs are. Nice Murcielago. I would love that, best i've done is drive a spec'd up Seat Ibiza at silverstone with an instructor! :oops: Title: Courtesy Car Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, August 29, 2006, 19:47:03 how much was that Fred and where'd you buy it from??

Supercar hire on the other hand isn't cheap! For 8 hour hire of a 360 Modena it's £800 plus a £2000 credit card deposit which is refundable on return of the vehicle. And you have to return it with a full tank of petrol which will be about £80-£90! |
