Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

Hello and welcome to the Audi effect. The cars we drove were pre-production, four months ahead of the first customer Gallardos, and yet they were still solid-feeling and tightly constructed in almost every detail. Lamborghini people say they have customers driving their Murcielagos 10,000 miles a year, so even that extreme supercar is reasonably reliable. But it's a paradox that the cheaper a car is, the more it will be used: if you can afford a Murcielago, you almost certainly own half a dozen cars. Gallardo buyers might be using it as their only car, and so it needs to be the most reliable Lambo yet.
