Here is the truth about my McLaren 720S and what happened to it. It's a disappointing end to what could have been a great car! I do know some of these problems could have been just applicable to my car and maybe I was unlucky. I didn't go into all the details of everything that went wrong, there were quite a few more! Make sure you watch till the end of the video!

It would suck if it turns out that all of the people that got a 720S early was treated as some sort of beta testers for McLaren, for that amount of money people need to know that they are getting a fully functioning product.
I have seen 675LT´s driven hard on track whitout problems so this is not good PR for McLaren, would have been better if they delayed the release of the car untill everything was sorted.
Handfart McPantypoop yeah. please Mclaren dont be like these video game companies that fuck us over selling us half assed games. they need to take their time or at least tell the customers hey if you are getting an early version then you might run into this or that.
I was expecting this to happend : New engine and new chassis leads to new problems. I understand now why Tim Burton (Shmee150) didn't order one. It's like the MP4-12C : it had lots of problems but the 650s solved them. I think the next car using this engine/chassis would be more reliable
at least they dont catch fire *hint hint* ferrari (jk)
Handfart McPantypoop I know that the very first factory runs had some issues, as I’ve just received my 2019 after Leasing a 2018 for a year.
You may not be somebody suited to buying brand new models. Part of the ownership of exotic products is that they have quirks. Perhaps you should just buy a GT3 and be happy with it. Also, it took 10 minutes to say 90 seconds worth of thoughts. Why do you drone on about nothing for so long? You could have spent that time SHOWING some of the fitment problems, or the software hiccups.
Randy C it's called making a you tube video which has to last 10 minutes. If you were a you tuber you would understand...but thanks for the lecturer.....🤔
Love and appreciate the honesty in this video mate. I been a Porsche owner for many years and recently a Ferrari owner. Was toying with the idea of a McLaren for my 40th birthday next year......this has made me think long and hard! Did you have similar probs in your Aston??? (Mentioned in previous video you had one)???
Keep up the awesome content!!
just came across this video, it's so nice to finally get some honest straight talk from a "car-youtuber". you've got a new subscriber.
Honest and fair explanation, no mud throwing and respecting all parties involved. You're the kind of RUclipsr that grows slowly but on the way builds a very strong loyality base among your viewers, I respect your integrity. ( How much more views could you have generated with some trashy title and going off in your video)
I agree--but I bet he appreciate a loyal following than volume. I can relate.
You don't say anything about how McLaren service responded to your issues, especially since these would all be under warranty. With those items fixed, the car's value would not have been impacted either.
What we are left with is that despite you continually wittering on about how you're 'not going to name names' and 'not wanting to make a big thing about it' you've taken the trouble to record a RUclips video in which you slag the car and the company off, without any explanation of how McLaren tried (or didn't try) to resolve your concerns. I bet Lamborghini will watch this and are so looking forward to having you as a customer....
Do a search on youtube and you'll see a lot of other 720 owners that have had a ton of problems with this car, including one guy who had the most horrific customer service experience with the manchester branch. This is absolutely NOT an isolated incident.
My dad friend has bought a 2018 720s and it breaks down and he has been in the repair shop more then he has drove it for fun.
Excellent transparency man. Subscribed.
Maybe you can produce a service order for us showing what you needed to be fixed? I doubt it.
Unfortunately that’s not true per Only Mclaren having production issues with early VIN cars. I had problems with my Ferrari 458, 488 and my Lamborghini Super Trofeo as well as Huracan. They weren’t terrible issues thankfully and we all resolved within a reasonable amount of time but I have found that All cars will have some niggles in early production. That is unfortunately inherent to All brands no matter who the manufacturer is.
To add to your review or video on the issues you had, there’s no excuse for these issues. McLaren should release a fully tested vehicle(every vehicle) and it should pass muster in every way. You and all of us(most at least) work hard for what we have and should get what we pay for, a fully functioning, issue free vehicle, period.
Be it known, I too have a 720S on order, fully specced and I will take note of the issues you had to make sure my build is issue free.
David Johnston wow nice have fun
David Johnston I've got a question. Can you purchase a super trofeo just like any other Lambo or do you have to go through some sort of process.
Yeah I never buy early in a new generation of car/new platform.
Had exactly the same problem with my 2014 Mp4-12c , white smoke from the right side exhaust. They changed the right side turbos/heads/gaskets/etc , its a great car but every month or so it runs into a new problem.
Thankgod someone who actually has experience with supercars gives their opinion rather than children who have no idea
Hey Anishvin,
very very interesting clip - thank you for your words!
i am usually driving AMG for al long time and love it !!
But somehow i got to Mc Laren and had a first drive in a 570 S coupe.
The experience was not that what i expected.
It was not special, solid and fast enough. breaks felt strange and the turbo leg was massive big under 3000u/min.
additionally i did not feel really save & secure at high speed; in strait line or cornering.
The car was just not laying as good on the road as i expected it honestly to be.
Mc Lare did want to check it afterwards and tell me about any possible problems.
Got no answer , but anyway
--- soo i came to the 720 S!
Thought that this will be my dream car in every kind of way.
From design to performance, driving, handling - to everything.
The value of this money for a car should be felt longer as you described!
I hope it will stay for the next long years ( test-drive nearly in 2 weeks )
My question to You is:
How was your impression fro the 570 S, and compared to the /720 S .?
Did You just gave it away cause of your problems or was the fascinating factor not so high as you expected it to be in longer term after the first week?
Even TGE gave his away after a short time.
This scares me now...
But i just read that you still got it :))
Makes me feel happy somehow :()
Would be really really great to hear from You!!
Greetings from Germany
Anish, just letting you know, you forgot the end card where the "subscribe" text is in the last 10 seconds of your video!
I think you made the right choice returning it. Me personally, with all the cars you have and have coming in, I would have kept it though. BUT i see why you returned it and I have a feeling you will be in something much better in years to come... good luck
Tge had issues with his aswell
Humongous amount of respect for his honesty. Not a lot of people can admit and openly say what Anishvin just did
Kiran J you look 😍
Haan ji
Kiran Johal Facepalm
TGE can 😏
Kiran Johal you stupid if u think whatever he says is right, he’s doing it for views
You said u weren’t gonna bad mouth anyone and throw in any specific names so that makes me think the car itself wasn’t the only issue. But later on in the video u make it sound like the only issues were with the car itself. Did u have a bad experience with the service at the dealer or something? I’m not hating, just curious. Keep the great content coming👊🏾
I ordered my 720S in February this year and got it end of May 2018. I have seen this video for the first time in the anticipation period around March or April 2018. At that time I didn't precisely understand what you mean. But now, after 7500 km in my 720S I know EXACTLY what you were speaking about.
A lot of people (as you can see) didn’t like what I had to say as they will never understand unless they own the car. Sorry to hear that you understand in this case. I was lucky enough to be able to return the car to McLaren
Hey, what is your take on the Porsche GT2 RS? Would you consider buying one when they become available? Apparently it just demolished the Nurburgring lap record.
Okay, watched the entire video and not a single thing wrong with the 720S was mentioned. WTF! I have 8,975 miles on my 720S now and not a single problem with it. It's bullshit lies like this that continue to perpetuate an unfounded rumor of unreliability for McLaren cars.
sure you did, LIAR
General Zod you sound like you’re a child. You are using a fake account to call someone you don’t know a liar. Very childish. Please enlighten me. What problems or issues have I had that I’m lying about? If you call someone a liar, you better have some facts to back up that accusation or you have no credibility.
Christine Fritsch Another smelly curry sharting unappreciative fuck!
Panel gaps, lifting system, software issues etc............ Perhaps you should listen more carefully.........
I traded my Lamborghini super veloce for the McLaren 720's and while the McLaren is fast and still fun it is not as much fun as the Lamborghini was. Since then I traded my Audi V10 plus for a Lamborghini Huracan performante Spyder which I thoroughly enjoy more than the McLaren
thanks for the breakdown...I have heard of folks cancelling their orders and I couldn't understand why. It is such a beautiful car and everyone raves about the speed. Unfortunately most car manufacturers go through the growing pains. Keep up the great vids...
The 2020 models do not have the same problems with the panel gap The reason I know I had the 2018 coupe had the same problem with panel gaps still I have a few glitches but I'm happy so far with my 2020 Spyder
Very good review and update. Thank you as I was also considering purchasing one in spring!
Thanks Shaun. Disappointed in the car and quality. I couldn’t say all the issues for certain reasons. However the technology and speed is amazing. Just wish it was the whole package
i hope you still get the LT version of this
It's a great car, and good of mclaren to take it back. Just need to sort these issues out with quality control. Thanks for sharing some truths with us.
Having it thrashed by a racing driver around Silverstone with 400 miles on the clock have anything to do with it? What is McLaren's advice on running-in?
Been waiting for this
Do you take much of a lost after owning it fi such a short time?
oh good grief, we are 8 minutes into the video and he has yet to say one thing wrong with it.
LIAR
Christine Fritsch Iona McLaren and I have no idea what is issue is other than he’s an arrogant narcissist so, perhaps he didn’t kiss his ass. I found a customer service excellent and incredibly helpful. You can directly phone the factory and talk to someone in England at any time, I had a few issues during the learning curve with my information centre and they were nothing short of fantastic, I would highly recommend a McLaren to anyone that’s looking for the ultimate daily driver as well as an absolutely beast on the road and track
pat sow I’m on my 3rd McLaren and they are incredible. I track them and run them hard. I drive them from one side of this country to the other through some of the most desolate areas without even a thought that it might let me down. I buy all of my cars from the same dealership and have a good relationship with them. I buy tires and parts I want to upgrade, like more carbon fiber through them. I’d park this guy’s car out on the back lot and work on someone else’s car. Lamborghini and Ferrari better look out if they take this guy for a customer. If he has nothing good to say about this brand, he won’t have anything good to say about any of them.
Does any one knows what is error message ( Air Break fault ) in 720S means!
Hi. Heads up about your editing. You need to put in a cross fade on your audio/ talking clips or you can pull the audio handles to zero at the cut points - this will eliminate the sounds pops between your clips! Best! Scott You can connect me if you need clarification!
Sorry to hear about your problems. The design of the 720S never grew on me and still hasn't. Sucks that your experience isn't so good. Hopefully they can get it together.
In the US, this is the main issue. Their resale values are through the floor. They are producing a ton of cars & introducing new ones so fast, they end up balancing the growth of the company on the backs of their customers who take the brunt of the depreciation. Tough place to be for sure. That and the quality issues have kept me a bit away sadly.
WHAT problems?!! Name them please. I have 8,975 miles on my 720S and have no problems. BTW, the McLaren community is pretty small and I can tell you, my friends have no problems with theirs either. The problem seems to be with you.
What problems!!!!!!! Speak up mate.
Christine Fritsch just because you and your friends don’t have any problems with your 720S doesn’t mean other owners won’t have too.
Devansh, I just want him to say what the mysterious issues are. Did he get any of them on video? Photo's? Repair orders? Now many of these people will repeat what he has implied and that is that McLaren's are unreliable, which it's not true.
Good honest video mate, it's a shame the issues hindered your experience with the car! Mclaren being as innovative and fast growing as they will probably have the issues sorted by the time the 'LT' version is due! Whatever that version is, will be insane!!!
Honest and to the point anish, I would have done the same. I have just purchased an e92 m3 competition pack today and if I'm honest bricking it incase anything goes catastrophically wrong even though it will have 12 months bmw warranty on it. You are correct when you mention the money we all work very hard for to buy performance cars , which are an indulgence at the end of the day we all enjoy, keep up the good work anish and appreciate your honesty. Many thanks.
There was a similar incident in America where a 720s had its brake fluid all over the road.
There was a similar incident were the car attracted the attention of some angry bikers thus smashing the vehicle... Luckily you got rid of it.
the helper of the peopledems he didnt sell it watch the whole video
I agree with your frustrations, feel bad for you for you so anticipated the arrival. But you have to do what you feel best and i agree with your feelings and your decision.
I love the 720s such a disappointment to hear there consistency isn't up to par. can you or anyone that reads this tell me the exact differences in the 3 models 720s, 720luxury, 720performance? just curious Thanks?
I have loved the McLaren 720S since launch, sorry to hear that you have had such issues with your car. Very fair review and nice video. Hopefully you will move on to something better, maybe the LT version of this car! Good luck.
I hope you will post another video after you solve the issues with Mclaren 720S.
So is it sold or not I’m confused?
So when you say you returned it did they refund you the full amount or did they take into consideration the depreciation?
Anishvin wow! I’m guessing you kept the receipt 😂
6:55 the sound from the iphone ( the ios 11. bla bla ) so can someone explain me what that sound is cause my iphone does it too like 15 times a day and it drives me crazy :) thanks
Love this channels honesty.... only person doing it right now.. we all know these cars had faults, weird how no one made a video about it...
white smoke from one pipe and vehicle overheating? looks like a blown head gasket were coolant is going into the cylinder(s) on the left bank of the engine block.
So sad that it had issues and you had to let it go.
Hopefully they were early production issues and McLaren will sort them out for the later cars.
Hope you get into the future '720LT'. 👍
Would you consider the LT version?
What was the white smoke coming out of the exhaust ?
is it really that surprising that an early model of a new car will have a few bugs.
So what were the actual issues? Panel gaps, aircon and front lift. Anything else?
Also if your going driving in Norway (and YES you should) dont just go straight down to denmark via Sweden, there are some AMAZING roads around the big lakes Vättern and Vänern in sweden, just a tiny detour, you will enjoy it!
I get your point and I agree with you. It sucks having to spent a lot on a car with albeit minor faults. I does annoy the OCD inside you. Sorry to hear that it is how it is mate.
Sad to see it go. I was hoping I'd one day own one. Hopefully the issues raised will be fixed in the 720s Spider and lightweight track focused special edition in the future.
Yes, definitely the right decision. Can see you didn't take returning the car lightly and that there are other circumstances with individuals behind the scenes you're not elaborating on. Great information.
Totally understand... I didn't expect anything different from McLaren. What is surprising is when someone on the net actually has one that is fault free...!
Unless they are juts covering up the problems for favours from McLaren.
Thanks for your honesty. Because of your video, McLaren is not longer a car I want to own because of the unreliability.
Totally made the right decision to move on. I've heard of way too many issues with the 720S. I personally think McLaren rushed the development phase to get the car into production.
What issues? Be honest, do you really know anyone that has one? There are only a few hundred in the entire world.
Christine Fritsch google is your friend. There's been numerous reported issues with the 720.
What issues? Name them. Referring someone to Google is not naming what issues you think they have had.
Justin Register not everyone has issues
@@christinefritsch9117 as you mention not having alot produce and seeing so many in documented video no less having issue kind of make them pretty unreliable dont get me wrong there excelent cars and being hand made will always cause it to glicth here and there once in a while
I love McLaren and ascot are great to me but I've heard similar things about this car from Tom and its really quite sad, as you say, I hope that later cars will be sorted out but so far, the 720 from an ownership point of view is not going well :(
Are you not getting the 570 Spider anymore?
Wait so they bought back the car then or not?
I think you have made the right decision. I like the brand but it seems to have lots of issues with newly manufactured cars....
Did you run it in? Said you tracked it straight away
What problems?
The A470 - north, right through the heart of Snowdonia is a cracking road to drive. There a quite a few in north Wales actually, the infamous 'EVO' triangle and the triangle of roads around Snowdon. Love a good blast out in to Wales and I've only got an M140i. If you do end up these ways would love a run out with some real exotic machinery!
This is good news for me... 720s bought to depreciate like an ankor... soon it'll be the fastest super car for the money 200k range.
whats an ankor? And how does it depreciate?
once again another great video. keep up the great work :)
Appreciate your openness...
I've owned my 720s over a year now and done over 10k miles on it. No issues and absolutely love it.
This was really interesting. I have wondered with both you and Tom, whether buying your cars as some of the first off would give issues.
I work in the automotive industry and seeing what I’ve seen going into brand new cars and what is ‘contained’ at the factory before it is properly fixed would stop me buying one that new personally.
Best of luck with the S.
I’ve got some great suggestions for driving roads to try in the UK if you’re interested in a colab?
Anishvin I see, good advice. Thanks for that.
Reliability is always #1. I'd rather have a ugly basic car that never lets me down than a Supercar with reliability issues. Other reviewers have said the Aventador is not reliable so it is off my dream list also. Would MUCH rather have a Huracan Performante than any Aventador variant.
The biggest deal with McClaren is the scarcity of service centers/dealers. If the closest one is hundreds of miles away you are screwed.
Good decision man.
The 1st thing tuners do with Mclarens is upgrade the cooling systems...👍
every car
Overheating problems? Coolant leaks easily or something else
Check Thorney vid. Just needs new better clips.
I would do the same too. great job explaining why you moved on.
I don't think Mclaren fans understand the levels of build quality problems Mclaren cars have. They keep saying Mclaren cars have impeccable quality, Which is not true. And they wrongly mention Ferrari cars having problems. But the 70:s quality problems are gone and Ferrari offers 7 years free service since 2010.
Actually the same goes for Porsche fans and their beliefs over Porsche not having any quality problems. Just look at some Porsche owners having quality problems with their cars.
You did the right thing, Dude - got to get out before the bottom falls out of them if they turn out to be a dud.
Lmao youre like the third youtuber to sell their 720S
Anishvin Oh, ok
jamjax i know 2 , tge and anishvin . Who is the 3rd one ?
Aniket Shetty he didn't sell it. Watch the video
I know TGE, Who's the other?
jamjax
DEPRECIATION
Mclaren is not a young company. They have been around for a while. If you have a car problem then thats what it is. Its not a honda. Did they fix it is the question i would want to know.
It is still under warranty so McLaren would sort it out. McLaren have lots of reliable cars so what’s different about this one?
Are u from india?
My mate has a McLaren 650 and has also had some issues with it. I have owned 3 porsches, 2 GT3's driven hard on track and touring and not one problem. McLaren make great cars, but reliability is obviously and issue
What were the problems ?
scruffy wuffy The problem is obviously him, I own a McLaren, There are handmade, the customer service is absolutely fantastic I’ve had no problem with mine whatsoever, I’ve met several other McLaren owners that I’ve had a few minor little glitches but were resolved quite quickly and never re-occurred, I don’t know what he’s on about. I absolutely love mine, the build quality the driving experience and the fact that there is HyperCard is a daily driver is almost unbelievable if it wasn’t for the fact that I go to the grocery store and run my daily errands in it as well as able to spank anything that wants to test It’s ferocious speed
@@patsow4797
Let me guess, this guy lives in the UK, right?
@@patsow4797 what model do u own?
You made the right decision..should get value for what you paid for.
I guess it's the risk with buying a brand newly developed car mate, I always think give it a year for them to sort all the glitches out. Did they refund you then?
Great video. Presented very fairly.
This is literally one of the only videos I've seen where a McLaren has has faults. I think you just got unlucky. McLarens are well made
Anishvin I can believe that but I think they are well made compared to some other high end cars. I'm glad you got refunded though and didn't lose out hopefully
Maybe some of the owners don't have the balls to admit that they got problems?
Anishvin do.
Mc Laren's have had numerous problems, especially the MP4-12C. It has numerous issues.
Let’s just wait till all the lambos start bursting into flames shall we 😜
What "issues" were on the other cars if you can't tell us what issues were on yours Anishvin?
1:32 and you work hard, yes, you are definitely working hard
Are u from manchester
Gonna have to agree with you on this. I really did have high hopes for the 720s but as you explained the faults in the vid it is a bit of let down.
But on a plus note, if you want to go on some good driving roads in the UK then try Norfolk, lots of nice straights and excellent corners. A real test for supercars and sportscars.
Here before the channel
Becomes suoer big! 👌
this vid came out a bit too late for Salomondrin. Ghees i can feel a roast not too far into the future coming on
Views Viewed send him a link to this vid. If car over heating, imagine being in LA! The smoke looked like turbo issue?
McLarens seem to have a lot of issues especially this model, once of the common issues I saw with this car with several cars was the key not being recognized when it was inside the car, that didn't bode well when I saw that.
Oh no! I saw you and the 720 at supercar Sunday and loved the car. But I would have done what you've done and returned it. It just doesn't seem like it was ready to go on sale. Reminds me of TVR days when the first run of cars were always trouble. Such a shame as I was aspiring to a McLaren one day. Maybe time they got a focus group together to see what the needs and expectations of their customers/future customers are! Come on McLaren let's show the world the UK can make the BEST supercars!
Have you considered a 675 LT? Ultimate driving experience
Panels badly mounted and the car pass through the quality control anyway... thats a bad work attitude. But as you said is a relatively new company so hopefully they will figure this kind of issues out
Did you at least give local dealer a chance to fix it?
I agree with you. Same thing happened to me.
that's why I am just going to get a 2018 z06 or zr1
I think you made a 50 /50 choice you had the quickest accelerating car for the money but like you say u can't live with a car or use that cars capabilities for any enjoyment if it's going to let you down I'd of waited but been alot more pissed than you seemed so hats off for your amicable behaviour
Since when are supercars reliable?
You made me so sad when you returned the car with that music !
Shame you got rid of it so soon such a beautiful spec too.
OK so what were the problems lol I'm 😕
The truth is you sold it, in the hope of flipping it for a profit but realised you couldn't.
Anishvin offers over 30k? On a mclaren 720s. A manufactor that is still new to the industry. They can't even give away the 570s now. Whoever offered 30k is a moron and has no idea about cars. It will depreciate like a lead balloon
Very well said.
