      If you stop crashing them at the current rate, you'll be getting close to saving £10m on replacements. Although if I were you, I'd consider buying a Dacia. You can crash those at ten times the rate, and still save money

          How do you even expect roadside assistance from them if you don't get your car serviced at the authorized dealer.
          its the same for all the car brands.

            Car snob who doesn't get a performance vehicle serviced at a main dealer. Fur coat and no knickers job.

            You take on an AMG (not a diesel AMG wannabe) knowing that it's a high performance vehicle that needs appropriate TLC. You're not paying for the luxury of a natural straight six Porsche that only needs to be serviced every other year, you're getting it a lot cheaper and the extra costs are in maintenance.

            By the same token, buy a 75 grand Gallardo and make sure you've got 50 grand set aside to run the fecker for three years.

              Has AtW even explained what the problem was, I couldn't follow his post with <2 coffees? He has AA cover but didn't use it?

              Did he say he doesn't have a spare, or that he doesn't know how to change it? What a millennial

                      As per Manky, get to know your motor better. Performance cars need spares, preferably full size due to the punishment the tyres take. Even if you only use it for the weekly shop breaking down is hazardous. Personally wouldn't buy one that has been made 'to a price', too many unknown corners cut.

                      Every Jag I've had has had a full size spare. Breaking down on the M4 in a snow storm one night and getting the spare on in 10 minutes was far safer than waiting for the AA.
