Anyone got one?

I always liked these,but was put off by a dealer telling me he got 4mpg on a run ,not that I expect great economy ,but 4mpg? Anyway how easy is it to find places that do bioethanol and how much a litre is it?

I had a test drive in a supersport a few weeks ago and was blown away by the car, very quick, handles really well and built to last.
I think morrisons do the bi ethanol.

I just bought a supersport cant say i give a monkeys about that other stupid fuel you are never going to buy.

They do exactly the same mpg as a normal gt i cant see one bit of difference.

Except they go faster and handle better for not a lot loss of refinement.



Thats mine, the best car i have ever owned bar none better than anything.

get one you know you want to!!! I won't go as far as to say it's the best car i've owned but it is getting there. Slightly less comfortable than a GT Speed but much better for throwing around and bloody fast and doesn't wallow in corners. Paddle shift is much better too if you are interested in those things and the fuel consumption i've found is a little better than the Speed

I never bother with those paddles, too much effort, also i found if i put the suspension on soft it aint a lot worse than my other GTs i had.

Certainly the gearbox improvements and general go in the car make up for it, iv even got used to that rubbish carbon fibre dash that i hated at first.

Iv looked and i just cant see a better car to drive every day i just cant see one.

Sold my last car and am now in the market for a SS, but 2 seat or 4 ?
£15/20K for back seats is a bit steep and in a few years shurley the prices will be closer.

I wanted one with 4 seats when i was looking, not that there is a lot of room in back but at least they are there for the odd time you need them, i cant see that sitting on that bar in the 2 seat version is going to be doing anyone any favours should you ever need that 3rd person.

Also who on earth wants one of those daft bucket seats (manually operated at that) in a Bentley? Come on thats not what the car is about.

I won't be sitting on the carbon bar and the carbon seats suit me better, isn't this what the car is about, if you don't like, buy a speed.

the supersports is king the only possible better car which it obv is will be a veyron,
it was built as a 2 seat car they should never have given in to the yanks and given the 4 seat option as has been mentioned need 4 seats buy a speed,
i worship my supersports and am marveled at its capeabilities a 10 car field in front on a country rd and it will just eat them ease a little for the bend gun it again past the next ten the pull is relentless
i will never hanker for a different car
