- RajT88 3y agoI would guess you'd hate the Cerbera for different reasons. Much more exciting to drive undoubtedly, but also exciting because you never know if you're going to make it to your destination on time. That was the joke about TVR's repeated on Top Gear anyways.
- arethuza 3y agoBut James May said on the Top Gear British Sports car segment that there had been no reported cases of a TVR ever breaking down! I hated the BMW - in and out of the dealers getting fixed and very uncomfortable.
- RajT88 3y agoI might be thinking of the couple TVR Tuscan segments they did. All the articles on british motoring sites make specific reference to reliability problems: https://www.evo.co.uk/tvr/tuscan/22788/tvr-tuscan-1999-2006-review-history-prices-and-specs https://www.evo.co.uk/tvr/tuscan/22788/tvr-tuscan-1999-2006-... "TVRs have always been love-or-hate cars and the lack of safety features such as ABS or traction control will immediately deter some, as will stories of endless breakdowns." https://archive.is/VylZ5 https://archive.is/VylZ5 That whole article, lol.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoI recall from Evo Magazine where they did a European press tour with AMG and TVR and the AMG technicians at one factory stop had a look under the hood of the TVR - they just laughed at how badly it was put together and see if they could help fix it when it inevitably something on it broke. I reckon most owners considered it a quirk of owning one and besides they always had the Aston Martin on those off days.
