I think CJ’s and mine may be the only two cars that opted out of the roof glass.

Perfect spec too, although I may be biased. You’ll love it.

Not worried about it. This will be only driven at night or on tracks

Well all I can say I have been smiling since 0930 from pick up, and driving this machine. I have knocked Mclaren for some time, and reliability is still my concern long term. However craftsmanship and interiors is remarkable full of CF, and my car if full leather dash and roof, seats leather and Alcantara. Power is very impressive revving through 8500 pulls like a SOB. Controls easy and accessible, and don’t need a manual to figure out.

Access is interesting feel sorry for really really big people, I’m 6’3 with no issues with leg room and head clearance. Back to driving it handles very good, and puts a 650 to shame which I’ve driven quite a bit no comparison. I felt remorse selling the 458, and this thing makes my 458 feel very very old in every aspect. (By the way I loved the 458) Love my RS, and it’s a Porsche bottom line ......however MAC is just a different experience. I looked at. 720S, but too cushy for me as the 675LT is raw like a RS and very very noisy in the cabin. You hear all the pebbles on the road thought I had a hole in the floor pan(:

I’ve learned never to say I will keep a car, but good to see manufactures push each other. Close to 100 miles in the car, and a hot GA day high 90’s the power is insane/car is very light. Turn radius sucks, radio sucks .....ummmmm who cares. Got home and got out my cleaning tools, and but a proper clean to the car. Purchased with 1900 miles car is wrapped with radar installed, tint sure love taking another guys woman after he dressed her up in heals and ready to go. Will see how long the honey moon last, but the 675LT is a beast.

Maverick787,

Fantastic purchase. I’ve forgotten the number of times I’ve checked out 675LTs for sale on Car Gurus! lol

Were you given, or did you buy an extended warranty of any kind?

‘Yup bumper to bumper ........when you have to buy it they’re not cheap, but would get one for insurance. Thus far not heard of any 675 issues. It has exceeded my expectations for the first 50 miles. Took it on some back roads, and it gets up to 100 extremely fast, and steering very precise.

My favorite characteristic of the 570S, shared by all McLarens, is that it feels like a Lotus Exige on steroids. IMO, Lotus has the best steering and chassis dynamics in the business, and McLaren somehow captured that in their line.

Congrats Man!!!

I am glad that you gave it a try. So many cars have left my garage but my 675lt still remains.

My Mclaren dealer is really great and they installed a tune, it’s absolutely insane.

Stay safe.

Twins with mine! I’m a track ***** so I got one with the titanium roll bar and the CF louvres fenders.
