General Comments

The Vauxhall Lotus Carlton 3.6 Twin Turbo is a great car if you are after continous power, a fast 0-60 time. However you need a shed load of cash as services start from 199.99 and insurance ranges from about 1000 to 8000. This car can have some engine mods but you would find it difficult to up rate due to the fact it has a 3.6 twin turbo engine. As I said unless you have loads of spare cash, this car is not for you, for example a front set of brake pads cost £350.00 and you are looking about 150.00 per tyre.

    I agree with mattpp. You are lucky to own probably the best saloon car ever made. I also agree with you - the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton is a very expensive car to maintain, but if you can keep up the maintenance it's a car that will never lose money.

    Good look from a jealous person who wishes he could afford one.
