[@jameswillard1]

No competition between this and the F8 in terms of driving dynamics. I had a 488 Spider before 720S Spider and the Mclaren is superior in terms of steering feel, ride, body rigidity, transmission, and in another galaxy as far as speed! The 488 was very disappointing in terms of how much flex it had in the chassis..... it’s honestly no better than other convertibles that cost 1/4 of its price and the steering has no feel compared to the Mclaren. I won’t go down the rabbit hole of discussing reliablity (mine has been pretty much perfect) or resale value that everyone immediately wants to bring up in any Mclaren review, but as far as just engineering and driving experience I don’t know how anyone could claim the Ferrari even holds a candle to the 720S.

[@harrysgarage]

Recommend you read "Competitive Strategy" by Prof Michael Porter to understand the path that McLaren have been on. The F8 is more a competitor for a McLaren 600 imo; the 720 is at least one step up, without even getting into the antique chassis/suspension and (personal opinion about) styling of the Ferrari. For those of us that actually drive these things, there's a great review in Car & Driver September 2019 as to why I'd ONLY buy a McLaren. In that incident, the car flow nearly 300 feet down a cliff and both passengers were uninjured: a floppy Ferrari with its pasta chassis would have folded after the first impact.

Great choice! Such a shame the 12C got a bashing soon after launch. I guess it wasn't quite ready for market. I did a little research before doing the video and discovered McLarens in general hold their value much better in Germany than the UK and plenty do big mileage over there too. Here in the UK, we love to bash home product and are stupidly sensitive to mileage compared to EU owners. I suggest using the cars more regularly might also help make them more reliable..

[@ChrisPlow]

@@harrysgarage Agreed. I actually don’t mind that it gets bashed I find it rather amusing and it’s predominantly by the uninitiated.

Yes it’s bumpy in places but this is the U.K. and roads are bumpy but no potholes (which is more than I can say about the Cirencester to Burford road, it’s a disgrace, thousands of pounds of suspension work awaiting you), great for suspension testing (the SLK handled the compression perfectly btw).

Is “Harry Watches” a TV critic type programme?

Interesting review of the 720S on the road. Thanks. Would have been interested to know more about what it is like on track where it's possible to utilise the performance more fully. When I looked into this car I found that the warranty/maintenance package excluded "on track" use which rather negated the point of the car unless you have near unlimited financial resources to pour into ownership.

“Definitely going 60 now” 🤣 ... and the rest Harry!

Seatbelt Clips... They take their time designing and building a stunning car with state of the art componenets but they install really cheap looking seatbelt clips into the car.. I am so tempted to phone McLaren and ask "why?". Makes no sense at all to me .. let's hope someone has an eureka moment... Thank you for taking your time to review this car .... Excellent as always...

[@karstenpedersen7749]

Such a great design. Most beautiful supercar in a long time.

[@arthurdardalis]

Clear, concise, informative, thanks again Harry.

[@hagestad]

Love Harry but no. 11:55 "everything is unique... " Nope. This car has Nissan engine (modified OFC), Ricardo gearbox and they produce engine as well. Until recently not even carbon fiber was made by them - Carbo Tech from Austria. Same with most electronics. And the list goes on.

[@cm-15]

@@hagestad the point was that major parts aren’t shared through other major competitors. Like the V10 and infotainment shared with the he Huracan and R8. Smaller things aren’t as recognizable.

[@hagestad]

@@cm-15 sure they are. It's a Nissan engine and Ricardo gearbox. Magically they don't use it in anything else?

[@cm-15]

@@hagestad What McLaren competitors share parts with mclaren? Or how many McLaren parts are used by several other companies? The answer is none or not that much. That was Harry’s point. Harry also explained in another comment about how that engine is purpose built for McLaren unlike others that are shared.

[@hagestad]

@@cm-15 Ricardo gearboxes are used by ford and Mercedes. Ferrari as well i think (or perhaps they use getrag). Akebono ceramics are used quite often in high end cars.

[@gixxr88]

Never liked these when they came out, but have changed my mind, has the power the lambo doesn't just have being NA, has great steering and amazing chassis, and cheaper than the other supercars but just as good if not better, just not a fan of how it looks and when your paying that much money you want something you like, but then when your driving it and having that much fun who cares right!

[@Maurice_Moss]

I actually prefer the styling of the 720 over the f8, especially how clean the side is, f8 looks over styled now.

[@Bruno-cb5gk]

I feel like almost everything they've released after the F12 has been overstyled. Ferraris just aren't beautiful anymore, they look more like hotwheels now. 720s looks so much better.

[@Maurice_Moss]

@@Bruno-cb5gk I agree for the most part, although I'm one of the few that prefer the 812 to the f12, but the Roma looks good, reminds me of the Daytona.

[@rodwilliams7763]

@@Maurice_Moss reminds me of the Aston Martin! F8s look like a 1990s Lotus at the back

[@Bigchuckers]

I'm just saying as a viewer, I don't mind a lack of eye contact whilst driving. The synched audio commentary and exterior driving bits are ace.

Hi Harry, is it possible to do a follow-up video on the Austin Martin One77 compared to Modern supercars

[@dedge12858]

"I got this car in because... " What a life to have when you can pick and choose which supercar to drive on extended loan 😆

Well when you put up your life savings to found Evo magazine you get some returns. Check out the podcast Chris Harris did with Harry, it’s a great story

Possibly your best video yet, certainly one of the best cars. Love the channel, keep em coming!

[@Rogcljon]

Love all the videos that you make I can't miss one. The audio on this though really made it hard to concentrate and on some videos before too I realise it isn't a phantom and audio dubbing would be more work but possibly a lapel mic to give you the chance to dub some bits if necessary sometimes would be worthwhile keep up the great work I've bought Evo from issue 3 and feel like I've known you half my life now. Cheers Sir 👍
