    VERY strong motor, not MANY problems. BUT the biggest problem is the clutch, and e-gear transmissions. I've heard of clutches going out after 1,800 miles, and NEED to be replaced by the 10k mark.

    There's nothing wrong with the F1 transmission as long as you know how to drive one with such transmission.

    I had one with the F1 for a bit over a year and the whole experience has been nothing short of wonderful. Coupled with the Larini items and the Formula Dynamics modules, the driving spirit and feel has been much uplifted and more engrossing as a whole.

    My suggestion is to drive one with either transmission, get a professional PPI done and buy the one that you feel the most comfortable with.

    I would say as reliable as most exotics and perhaps better than most. I've owned mine for 16 months and have had no problems to speak of. Great car and fun to drive. Not really a daily driver although a number of folks do.

    I've owned mine for a little over a year, Can't say anything for the duo-select car but my auto has been trouble free!

    my dad has one (pre-facelift) and it hardly has had any problems other than a loose headlight and a broken 6 cd player.
