I love TVR as well, and yes they've pretty much got every aspect of a car spot on (unfortunately there is compromise in safety). But there is a bigger flaw than safety - their reliability. It's very bad. Read owner comments on PistonHeads and you will see what I mean. However, I will be fair to TVR: their a very small and limited company in terms of resources (HR, capital goods, finance backing) with no backing from a major car manufacturer conglomerate, and yet they manage to stay on par with the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, etc. Their reliability is poor, and their cars ar made entirely by hand (machine used for engine parts, which I think are outsourced, or any other parts that are outsourced, of which I don't think are many), but not many cars are reliable when made by hand. But TVRs have some good USPs - awesome paint schemes, lightweight, etc. If the car was made with an automated system, and the reliability was poor, then there would be an underlying issue to be solved.

Re: Hating TVR

Fod i am guessing you are a 16 year old scally as you get max power and think that what Jamie shaw did to the Cerbera was a good idea!..also you spelt amazing wrong (amaising)...dont worry like most people you will grow out of this stage and learn to appreciate real cars...Unfortunalty Fod has shown me a TVR i hate : ( sorry. However i cant fault the amazing cars which TVR has made themselves, the newest ones more notably. The T350 is Britney Spears Sex while the Sagaris is the full Paris Hilton session. British car manufactures are eclipsing an other country on earth for producing fantastic cars!

Re: Hating TVR

You can hate the reliability of the AJP8 engine they used in the mid-late 90's, most of the faults were because they wern't used right but even for an extreme road car thoes AJP8 engines were a bit too race car-ish and prone to keeling over. However other than that and the fit and finish of the trim which could be better, theres not much to disslike about TVR's.
