Caterham Seven: Mileage 3650 Familiarity breeds contentment with Caterham's less frenetic Seven

摘要

Dwelling on the Super sport's rivals isn't something I like doing. It smacks of unfaithfulness, like eyeing up bridesmaids on the morning of your wedding, but mercifully there are few to consider at the price. Some time ago we road tested a Westfield Sport Turbo and, guiltily, I rather liked it. Where the Seven looks like a rubber fetishist's rabbit hutch with the roof up, Cater ham’s closest rival looks damned near good under canvas. But with its slacker chassis and grouchy turbocharged lump, the Westfield is a duller thing to drive. Shoutier, cheaper and chestier, yes, and certainly not unlikeable. But not quite the real deal.
