Was very lucky to get the very first MC20 test drive in Aust & NZ.
First impressions were that it obviously has real road presence. It’s an easy drive, particularly in City traffic, mind you it definitely needs to be in manual mode to feel like it’s a supercar, as there’s little sound otherwise. Lots of different ways to set modes, more so than previous. Good feel through steering wheel at road speeds. Overall reminded me of a grown up Elise. I really wouldn’t bother with carbon brakes, you need to noticeably work them until they are warm.
Found the dual clutch box was pretty smooth but then I didn’t try it in anger. The seats were really comfortable.
My only criticism is the rear view (camera) mirror screen gets quite a bit of reflection off the rear canopy, making it hard to see at times. Also viewing via a screen is something to get used to. Then again happy to use side mirrors instead.
If you’ve already ordered then it’s a fantastic car you’re getting!
