2012 McLaren MP4-12C consumer reviews

I own Exotic car dealerships. I personal own a 2021 Ferrari F8, 2024 Lamborghini technical, 2020 McLaren 720 Spider, C8 Z06 and 2012 and 2013 mp4. Honestly the MP4 is just and all around amazing amazing car. I would have to say that this Truly, the best exotic car made for under $350,000. As far as performance on the street the only stock exotic that’s gonna be fast is another McLaren. Being in a business, I don’t keep cars long. I’ve owned my MP4’s over 5yrs. It’s very hard to compare anything to this car unless you’re spending $250 or more. Stop listening to the Internet regarding reliability, there were a few issues that happened in 2012 and 2013 when they first came out and there were absolutely no McLaren dealerships and nobody had the info to work on this car. That’s all changed . As far as I’m concerned, it’s almost maintenance free. A few annoying issues that seem to happen on all McLarens but nothing Major basic xxxxxxxx stuff. Most issues the MP4 had all happened within the first 1500 NO different then other exotics. Keep the oil clean, keep The battery on a tender, let the car worm to normal operating temperature before doing excessive acceleration. If you don’t absolutely abuse the ca you will be very surprised how reliable this car is. take advantage of the prices, at some point people are going to wake up and realize the car is worth double today’s price Compared to the competition.

The McLaren MP4-12C is the most amazing exotic sports car I have ever owned and the fastest. I love the body style, gull wing doors and interior. It is very unique and a blast to drive. Test drive one before you buy anything else in the price range and it will blow your mind. It is a great value for the money. I do not keep cars very long but have owned mine for almost 4 years. The repair bills have been minor and the same as any other sports car. I think this car will go down in history one day. It was McLaren's first real car to the market that was under $1,000,000.

This car is the best bang for your buck. Excellent car for cruising along with beach and canyons with. Plenty of power and will turn heads left and right since most people aren’t too familiar with McLaren. You see lots of Lambo’s and Ferrari’s but don’t see a McLaren that often.

Great value for the money, some of the minor bits caused some minor issues, but nothing to major. Fun car smooth ride which is rare for this class of car, and actually great gas mileage lol

This is the best deal on a supercar in the price range that it is in. Beats a ferrari 360,430 and better and faster than a lambo.

This car is simply amazing. From it?s performance to the technology McLaren put in it, I?ve enjoyed every mile I?ve put on it. It?s my daily driver and I couldn?t wish for a better car!

If you drive the 12C and come into it with an open mind you will find it is comfortable and performance that is not matched by many others. McLaren got it right out of the box and critics wanted it to be to much like other cars. When you make a new benchmark it is hard to compare

A 250 grand car now at low 140. The steering is so well even better than 991.1 911 in my opinion. Nice look and really strong power.

This vehicle is without a doubt the sexiest thing on the road in my area! People are always turning their heads. The engine sounds unbelievable, and the performance is even better. It's a great little car to have fun in, and handles just as nicely as a Porsche. It's not a very practical supercar since it's surprisingly small, but it is pretty easy to park in tight spots. For the price, you get a ton of car. I spent a good amount on this vehicle and don't regret it at all. I can't say how reliable it is, but I won't drive it often enough to find out. What an overlooked machine! Forget the overpriced Ferrari and Lamborghini, get this instead.
