Dancing with the Devil 8 of 14 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from dickonl 5 Stars ()

Advantages Speed, looks, engine sound, the most thrilling car on the road.

Disadvantages costs, manouvering, not good for undercover policemen

I am one of the worlds most lucky people. I have bought myself a Lamborghini Diablo, and it is simply the most amazing car on the road. Not even a Maclaren F1 can compare in terms of looks and engine noise.

What is more they are afordable! OK you can get a Reliant Robin cheaper- but I paid £42,000 (reduced from £53,000)for a 1992 left hand drive car with under 15,000 miles on the clock. This car cost over £150,000 new, and I'd say I have got excellent value for money. You might be looking to pay £50-60,000 for a car, but even so what a car!

The engine noise is phenomenal, the speed and acceleration are phenomenal. And however much you turbocharge a Skyline, it still looks snooze-fully boring. Not so with a Diablo!! This is the best looking car on the road.

There is a UK Lamborghini club where you can find information prior to buying, or join if you love the cars but can't afford to buy one. The people are very friendly and I've really enjoyed such things as driving in convoy with other Diablos and Countaches.

On the downside there is the cost of up-keep, and the nightmarishly bad manouverability. Rear visibility, although not as bad as the Countach, is nonetheless not great. The clutch is prone not to last very long, especially if the car is driven hard. But overall the engine is reliable.

There is nothing like this. If you are interested feel free to e-mail me on dickonl@aol.com and I'll tell you what I know.
