I've owned five McLarens, all five exhibited the window drop issue. I don't understand why they can't get this figured out in 12 years and five models.
I think mine didn't have it until I put in a window tint, so I think it could have something to do with that, not sure if you have tinted your cars as well. I was told it was because the tolerances are so tight that the tint interferes with one of the sensors
@@Richardlizhu I have seen many bone stock McLaren's do this during the demo drive at the dealer, so it's not the window tint. 5 out of 5 of my McLaren's have done this including a 765LT.
Love Troys car, it's an incredible spec. Always interesting to see it parked right next to a 720 to see the differences, there's a lot more than initially meets the eye. Great insight too, thanks boys x
I swapped to Michelins 4S’s when I took delivery of my 720S as the P Zeros were very “loose” under acceleration (sideways! On on/off ramps) - the Michelins were an instant cure. As well when I tracked the 720S I was amazed at how good the 4S’s were (I didn’t go Cup 2’s as my main track car was a 2019 GT3RS with Cup 2’s). Those 4S’s were a great tire - even for the odd track day!!!
So…. Its still a Mclaren….. great driving dynamics but crap electronics, quality issues, etc. Every 720S I drove had water in the door issue btw. Its not because 750S has new doors. Its a mclaren design issue. Its hilarious seeing these issues but then it explains why you can buy a 720S coupe and spider for the price of a new 750S, it tells you what the market thinks of mclaren as a brand.
It is strange, as it's not like there cars are drastically different from one model to another that you think they would have ironed out all the niggles, because as an overall package they are incredible cars with there disign and driving dynamics
When one is in love, making excuses for the "loved one" feels only natural. One day he will fall out of it and come to realise mistake of his position. Comparing it to VW product or Range Rover is like saying ones current girlfriend is OK because the previous ones were complete psychopaths.
I just took delivery of my mCLAREN 750 S. I've had three other MCLAREN I love them actually. But they have a lot of electrical bugs and the new 750 S is no different. Now I am having trouble with the vehicle front lifter the first drive I took it out. It worked a few times then when I went to raise the lift, it goes very slow instead of the four seconds claimed. the logo for the lift stays on and then a light comes up saying vehicle suspension lifted degraded! You just can't make this shit up with MCLAREN. I can see all the electrical bugs already the window dropping, etc. they need to fix their electronics. The engine is great, however sometimes it takes a long time to start. It is quite embarrassing. You push the start button. Nothing happens and you have to keep doing it and doing it and finally it starts. I never had such such issues with my Lamborghinis ever just Golden and every aspect.
Brand new £300K+ McLaren delivered with NO OIL ffs…. WHO is responsible to sign off this vehicle….. it’s astonishing BUT the car itself is off the scale….
It had oil just at the minimum level 🤷🏼♂️ with new cars drinking oil quicker it could have been catastrophic, and who would pay for the replacement engine🤷🏼♂️
yes plus maintenance for the three, but user caused errors they don’t cover, a blown engine from no oil may cause questions in who forgot. I am only thankful I checked.
@@tro3y sorry, how can user cause error on a brand new car …??? This isn’t twelve months down the road…?? It’s within weeks, no company can swing this one..
I agree, and I whole heartedly believe McLaren would cover it no quibble, but the advice does say check oil every 1000 miles, had I not checked it at 150 miles it may have been under recommended levels and caused damage by the 1000 mile check.
Oh my .... a thousand miles ..Wow. My Toyota MR2turbo has 325 thousand miles. Same original block and pistons. Guess I'll need to worry about your 400thousand dollar McLaren some day passing my reliability and superb mechanical engineering much less expensive Toyota . I doubt it .

@@XennialGuyYet, you are still buying McLaren. 😉
@HealthMidas Window dropping issue is not a reason not to buy one. Being you is.

Couldn't agree more!
Really enjoyed this video Max and Troy! Did someone say Driven+ podcast ? 👀
Maybe some point in the future! 👀

Hi Dennis, interesting you say this as we have a video coming out regarding Pirelli vs Michelin

What colour is your supercar?

Do you find the front boot gets wet?
We haven’t had that problem, only the passengers door
@@DrivenPlus Thanks for your reply, no worries might just be this car.
@@CarsofGlasgow doesn’t sound good!
You should be the spokesman of McLaren, speak only the good of it😂

Love the comment, very philosophical.

Love Cup2’s on my GTR!

Get behind the wheel of one and you won’t care😀

All exotic super cars companies will give you the same crap but only the UK cars get the RUclips criticism 😢
McLaren still not helping themselves out then.
Fit and finish is excellent the issues I have with the car in no way take from the brilliance of this vehicle.
Drive one! Brilliant, and the dealer/service (in my experience) is great
Shocking and completely shoddy from McLaren
I have a McLaren and this video is very boring
