Noble vs Tuscan

[Scarey]

I'm in a quandary. I've got a TVR Tuscan and have test driven a GTO-3R. I loved the drive, especially the handling! Have any of you changed from a Tuscan to a Noble? If so, any comments?

Welcome to the fold, that first love will only get stronger.

Cheers,
Ian.

I moved from a Tuscan which I really enjoyed to a GTO 3R which I really love.

The differences are major and I'm not just talking about the physical car...don't really want to get into the TVR vs Noble battle, but lets just say I have no regrets about switching brands.

If you fancy a chat about my experiences drop me an email with your number.

i own both.

Tuscan is for the design and fashion.
Noble is the letal weapon!

I picked up my new 3R 10 days ago. In the meantime the dealer was good enough to lend me a Tuscan from Thursady to the Monday. I've had 4 TVR's in the past so am fairly well versed with their highs and lows.

Initial reaction to the Tuscan was yuk. It felt heavy
and unsure of itself. I have to say by monday my opinion had changed. It takes a little while to get used to the pedals as they dissapear into the floor.

150 miles and a dry day on the Saturday and I was really enjoying the car, great sound and I have to say it grew on me.

The best car to come from TVR so far although I have yet to drive a T350. Notwithstanding. The 3R is better in my opinion by far. Far superior build quality and alot more sure footed. Thats MY opinion.

I dont think we should slag either marque as they are both great British cars and each to their own.

Totally agree ibroker, and they both have strengths where the other has weaknesses.

Me? I'm just hoping lotus gets its arse in gear as theres clearly some room in the 50k sports car market
