      I'm not all that interested in the numbers.
      I dont care how many BHP my car has, I care about how it feels to drive. Does it make me smile? Does it make me happy?
      Does it being me pride?
      Cars about how they make me feel, and about their art, and about their history and their stories for me. That's where JamesEm, Tyrrell's garage, Hubnut Harry Metcalfe etc nail it so right.
      I know Harry goes a little more into the raw figures than the others, but he still manages to make it more about the presence and experience than the numbers.

    I have tried 2 Aventadors. One is an early UK imports, the other is the Indonesian market from 2013. Vastly different. The early cars are clunky as all hell. The later car felt much better, the gearbox is not as awkward as pre-2013 cars, and it rides better. The spec on the later car that I tried is also very tasty. Balloon White (pearl colour) with Terra Emilia brown leather interior. Oh-so-good.

    I think peak Lamborghini was the manual Merci... Savage, challenging, elegant, more functional than you'd expect and Audi had been in charge long enough that all bits were usually done up properly before it left the factory.
    After that they just went a bit too aimed at the modern RUclipsr for my taste. Not that it matters, they're a few price brackets out of my reach as things stand.

    Aventadors have never been drivers cars. They are showstoppers, you pull up to car shows, cars and coffee or driving slowly in town making a lot of noise. It’s a car you drive to get people to look at you rather than something enjoying to drive but not saying it’s not fun to drive

It would be exciting to see as a subscriber, what would it be like to responsibly modify and improve an early Aventador (something like Litchfield as a partner?)that could compete or surpass a current model. Of course the costs/reliability etc, related to this would be really interesting and bring a new dimension to your reviews. Thank you again Jay, for your honesty and a great channel 👍

    this is so incredibly insightful. I have always known about the german built quality (currently own performante and r8, they are identifcal), always loved the old italian interiors (but that requires a lot of love) but in modern lambos it's really just childish and cheap (and that's ok, that's the appeal in its own way), but the shifting and sound experience you shared is critical. I happen to be shopping for an early car right now, because i share the exact same reason to get it...a hero car that i never dare to own until after having half a dozen drivers' supercars. I have never sat in one, but i dont plan to before buying, maybe i am afraid it will disappoint and i will end up not buying one and missing out the experience haha. Great to know the car rides well (i was afraid of the rumored bouncy suspension), passive system means one less thing to break (a plus $$) and the lackluster sound from the inside (that's why i am looking at straight piped screaming cars. Perhaps the biggest diff in perf and r8 is the sound deadening, so much quieter in the cabin even tho they sound equally glorious from the outside. AV might have that same problem since it's an exotic GT)

    One thing I remember from the time was Chris Harris writing a very critical article about the Aventador, which he felt did not handle well, but worse, he tried a few, and they were all different but none of them good... and he wrote that he talked to colleagues in automotive journalism who confirmed that, in their experience, no two Aventadors drove the same. That article got him banned from Lamborghini, and I believe he still is, as he hasn't written about or done a video with one since AFAIK, but that 2013 overhaul suggests Lamborghini knew the car wasn't good enough.

    Whilst it's not really at the same level as a Lambo, or even a Porsche, I do have a similar experience as a more upper working class guy.
    As a major petrolhead, like we all are here, BMW was one of those marques that you always imagine to be excellent.
    I found myself in the position to own one, a 2014 320d M-Sport Touring. Okay, not the most iconic of Bimmers, I know. But it's still RWD, it's still the M-Sport trim/suspension/etc. More than fast enough for every day driving.
    Man, I couldn't connect with it. There was one single occasion where everything fell into place driving along a totally deserted A74 in East Scotland. Truely spectacular road, and the car rose to the occasion with such perfection.
    But every day driving, even spirited driving around the local twisties/B roads it just didn't do it. It was too firm (not on run flats), the steering didn't seem to ever know whether it wanted to be vague or communicative, it was forever getting caught in the camber or track lines on the road. Passengers hated it.
    Although, I will say, it was fantastic in slow, stop/start traffic on motorways.
    I had it about 16months before I binned it off for another Golf GTD, and I have no regrets. For a similar 'type' of car, it just manages to find that balance between comfort and enjoyability with no compromise.

    I had a similar experience to a way lesser extent. I test drove a facelift model Maserati GranTurismo a few months back. Beautiful design, sounded amazing when revving, and the stitching and leather felt world class. Getting in and really paying attention to the build quality, it felt like a Chrysler. Plastic fantastic. With the facelifted center screen, it felt a bit wrong, considering less than a foot to its right was a gauge cluster from the mid 2000s. Not that I have a problem with the gauges, but that screen felt aftermarket and wrong. Out on the road, it was not the smoothest riding thing, but I figured its whatever. Hopped on the highway, was super excited. Ringing it out, it felt slower than my 335i. The exhaust note inside the car wasn't what I was expecting and I felt like there was a lot left to be desired. Even though its praised for its Ferrari engine and Italian quirkiness, I felt like it was similar to what you said where people outside enjoyed the car more than the people driving it. Still, the idea of it being a "Maserati" got into my head. It was priced to steal so I tried justifying it to myself until my insurance tried to scam me with a $15k dollar per year coverage payment, so I said no thanks! Funny to think the scam insurance industry actually benefitted me for once.

It only had 12000 miles and compared to my 50000m 205 I thought it would be next step in the performance car world and a big step up, boy was I disappointed and it taught me a big lesson in what I was looking for in cars

    Hi James-loved hearing your thoughts on the aventador. I have bought my 2013 one about 8 months ago, I was much like you after I test drove it, left feeling not in love with it-I also did not think it was very fast? I had an r8 V10 plus gen 1 at the time and I though the aventador should be soo much faster! I even spoke to Ricky from REPeformance, and he said that they are fast, but Mabey you just think they should be madder than they are. I drive my r8 back and though that the aventador was not what I though, but there was something telling me that it is my dream car, and we did buy it! A thing which made a big difference was to put new air filters in her! Another story there of how I found out ect! But we have done plenty of miles in her now and it’s just a joy to use and drive, and the more I drive it the better I think she gets. Thanks James.

    The feeling of a car is VERY important. Although not at the level of a Lamborghini, my first "YES" car was an Alfa Romeo 164 V6 Lusso. Bits of plastic would fall off and even the gear stick came out in my hand at 70mph on the M25 once, but hearing that Busso V6 at high revs and all was forgiven. And I can confirm that I never drove it from Leeds to Tunbridge Wells, a journey of 200 miles, in under two hours, as that would have been very wrong.

    Being around one I’ve found they’re a car you learn to love. Strange sentiment given the price and V12 flagship history, i know. As you said, James, you’d expect to be overwhelmed by visceral fizz from the moment you fall inside (ingress and egress isn’t the most graceful experience🤣). But it doesn’t come straight away. Gearbox is awkward. The engine feels gutless at lower RPM. Feels unusable at low speeds. Visibility is dire. The list goes on.
    As you spend more time in-and-around the car however, you learn how it operates and become wise to its idiosyncrasies. It’s a car you truly have to “learn”. Once you’ve done that, you can appreciate it for what it is.
    A guy from Lambo said you have to spend time with the car before you enjoy it. He wasn’t wrong. It isn’t a car you can jump into and employ learned behaviours from your typical Torque converters. It takes time.
    Actually, once you’ve given it some time, it’s quite a usable daily. The gearbox isn’t as bad as you expect. It’s relatively practical. The engine is phenomenal! It urges you to explore its full rev-range. It rewards you with incredible flatulence on the overrun. The car I’ve been with had 4ws, which really shortens the wheelbase and makes the car feel agile.
    It’s every bit the event you hope. After you’ve given it some time🤣

    I drove a first generation Aventador roadster, got it for a few days with the girlfriend and oh my word did you nail the way that it drove! However, I liked that about it, you couldn't have a friend who wasn't into cars drive it, they wouldn't know what to do. Girlfriend who was a decent driver (no curb rash on her daily) couldn't figure it out and was overwhelmed with the car. I liked that, I felt like I was the only one who knew how to drive it properly and could only let my friends who knew what they were doing take it out for a spin. Car needs to be driven hard to work but idk if I would want to own one. Great video, keep it up!

    Is the Aventedor capable of "re-programming"? Those engine "mode" sound as though they need looking at and matching as you described? (upshifts and downshifts) If the ECU's and gearbox software are "hackable" then maybe you could be involved in a custom "remapping" of those pieces of software? I'm sure there are race teams based in the UK that could diagnose and correct these issues for you, and it MIGHT be a very interesting video?

    Mr JayEmm, with the ISR you need to treat it like a manual ie take foot off gas when shifting up and it will be smooth, well as smooth as the driver knows how to be just like a manual. You need an Aventador S. it’s the complete package.

    If you drove it for 20 minutes on the test drive, you probably did a years average mileage. There is a reason you normally only got a 2 minute test drive. 😂 Just come back from a Ring track day. 911’s smashing out 50 laps in a day, interspersed with fuel stops and a butty stop. No Lambo’s or Ferrari’s anywhere near the place. Remember James, they’re not made to be used, they’re made to be looked at.

    James, just to say having watched a lot of your videos I’d sooner watch you than Top Gear.
    I’ve been a 911 fan since I was 6 years old, the 930 Turbo was my poster car as a kid born in the 70’s. I finally got to drive a 996 Turbo tiptronic a few years ago during a super car drivers day I’d bought for my wife (she drove a Vantage). The performance and handling were just as I heard, but the gearbox was really off putting. I’m not sure if it was just from over use, but the changes felt ragged and abrupt. Fortunately, it didn’t ruin the experience for me and I’m still happy I got to drive one of my favourite cars.
    Another nice video, keep em coming 👍🏾

    It was like the time I drove a Audi TT (The full beans 3.2 version). The owner (a friend of mine) says "don't thrash it" I say "yeah no worries" and bang it off the rev limiter through 1-3rd. I don't know if it was the 4x4 or what but..... Utterly dull... Yes it was quick, but give me my ST150 Fiesta every time for fun on the 0-60 pull. Such a shame, because I believe its one of the most beautiful cars of this century and has aged very well. Now seriously cheap, when you can pick up one of the smaller engine ones for a grand. I might reconsider my poor first drive.

Because none of those cars are Grand Tourers and none of them are Sports Cars. So what would you categorise them as?

    Funny cars these. A friend owned one for a few years. Full straight through system and it sounded like the end of the world (in a good way)… however… it’s massive to drive, somehow doesn’t feel ‘that quick’ as ridiculous as it is to say. The only time I got any sensation of speed was from say 120onwards at full chat (on a private runway in Madagascar). The brakes weren’t any good either. Seems to be a unenjoyable delay between gear changes from my experience even in corsa and even when revving it out. It’s very flat between changes.
    They’re definitely NOT a drivers car. Saying that though, I wouldn’t class any of the newer lambos as one either (that I’ve driven). I guess you can say that about a lot of modern cars though.
    Plus everyone that owns one seems to spend their evenings having rev battles outside of Harrods 😅 I couldn’t deal with the lambo stigma
