There is literally nowhere to put your legs especially on left side.
Interior is terrible in every way.
The inputs are very soft although are better in Sport mode.
Car sounds like crap unless in Sport.
It starts up and drives in EV mode in “standard mode”
The whole thing was confusing to me.

The “journalists” have gave it positive reviews but I think sales are lukewarm at best and McLaren is in deep $$$ trouble.

Getting back in my 911 was like heaven.

The only McLarens i want is a Senna or F1.
The 720, 675, and 4-12 are also nice, I liked the 412 I drove but am am too scared to own one due to parts costs. Oh and because the blow up at random lol!

I’m a big fan of how the 720S looks and 675LT is very cool as well. 600LT is another favorite although I wasn’t big fan of 570S.
For the money, there is no better value for performance you get in a 720s.

The issue is that as a car - it doesn’t measure up due to interior quality, mechanical reliability and overall fit/finish. Its a supercar for ppl that have 5 other Supercars.

At end of the day, Artura didn’t really wow me. I had similar feelings on the NSX although I would take NSX over Artura.

Really? Even the NSX outweighs the new one for you, that makes me curious how exactly they screwed up that badly.

On the other hand, I drove 991 GT3RS - which is one of my dream cars and it just absolutely blows you away. The NA sound, direct inputs, seating position, ergonomics - there are zero things to complain about except for price! There is a reason they cost more used than a new Artura.

NSX i drove a few years ago but i recall enjoying driving it.
The downside on it is the interior, weight and price.
