The magazine review was nothing like the online version, the magazine review was quite good and fairly positive about the car and its set up?!?!?

Sound spot on to me..... Same experance in any "7" have had all points a to m...
quote:
The Supersport gets Ford's tried-and-tested-and-tried-and-tested 1.6-litre ‘Sigma' unit, tuned for 140bhp at a heady 6900rpm. So it
isn't the quickest Seven - take a bow, R500 - but it might just be the most instinctive, the most direct. It weighs 520kg, which is a little
less than the average publican. Forty mph feels like eighty. Seventy feels like the epicentre of a catastrophic meteorological event. The five-speed
manual ‘box is absurdly close-ratio: top speed is just 120mph. Your head would be separated from your neck some time before you reached this speed.
Driving this car fast isn't a comfortable experience, but it's a mighty engaging one.

Sounds like he drove my RAW!
A knightmare to get going in but you just want to get back in to it as soon as your out of it! power, weight, 0-60, top end are the same, except for
price 
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I can so relate to the comment about shoe-sizes. 
I'd never driven a Caterham before when I went down to Lincoln to collect one I'd bought. I was wearing normal trainers and the journey
back up to Edinburgh was a nightmare cos I couldn't work the pedals properly!
Good god they are tiny (but great) cars!
