The flysheet had mysteriously became sticky and unusable when we took it out to use in the Summer. On raising this with Terra Nova Customer Services we were advised that this was due to the coating they use in the manufacture of the tent, on the underside of the flysheet, that becomes sticky over time. This can not be repaired. Terra Nova was not willing to rectify. If you buy this tent do so in the knowledge it will only have a limited lifespan.

If you want a solid tent that can take pretty much any weather than the Terra Nova Quasar is the one to go for. More of a camping halfway up a mountain than a campsite tent.
