Sean Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I guess we have different opinions of complimentary. When the article statesThe problem with the 620S is that its limits are not human." and The Caterham 620S is the world’s best Caterham, but the world can’t handle it." then I'm impressed. Seemed kind of like back-handed compliments to me, in the context of the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky dawg Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Seemed kind of like back-handed compliments to me, in the context of the article. My impression is that the writer was very proud of himself for being able to handle an Academy car, but was in too deep with the 620. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee break Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 7's just ain't for everyone. You need to have some cracks in your head to drive one and abandon ideas of practicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoPho Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You either are into the elemental sports car experience or you're not, no amount of car preparation or support is going get someone to change their mind. Sam Smith is someone who gets it, that's why he used to own a Caterham and a Lotus Elan. The wheels could have fallen off and he would have put a positive spin on it .

So little faith in the automotive press' ability to be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
