They only made the Trofeo for about three years, but they are real nice cars.

EDGE

well.... i thought i should at least keep this updated-ish... the car's been fine, no issues at all... until i started leaving it undriven for weeks and weeks at a time.. the battery had now finally died and it needs a new one.  But I have an idea up my sleve

Fieldy

I love that car mate sooooo cool inside too!

Andy informed me today that it's no longer as quiet as the sts... something about me taking the cat off... i dunno.... picky git....

Jo

Oh no you n your ideas

Fieldy

who needs cats anyway?! mine survives without any just fine!

EDGE

i only took mine off because it was dead.. if i could have bought a new one i would have done, and in fact, i still might, next time i order from summit ill probbaly add one to the order

EDGE

well... i just replaced the battery on the trofeo this morning... fired up like a champ, much quicker than it did previously, the old battery must have dropped a cell or two..

took it out for a drive a while ago, what an awesomely comfotable car, although I will say one thing, after driving other cars for the past 3 weeks.. are't the brakes on these things shockingly bad !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just drive it for a few weeks, forget about driving the other cars . . . . they'll feel normal again.

Try driving a normal car after driving the Caddy for a bit.

EDGE

lol... true... I drove it about yesterday and got used to the fact that you really have to think ahead !

plus you've gonna have collected a layer of rust and rap on the discs, will take a while to wear that off...

EDGE

the discs were suprisingly clean, but yeah, it'll take a while for the surface corrosion to wear off...

EDGE

well.. just got back from hampstead with philo and andy, took the trofeo out for a pimp and it performed perfectly... all on spec now
