Been to see a 3R.

Smitten.

What kind weaknesses can I expect, if any.

Saving up, should get it by new year.

bit of a squeeze at the back

fantastic cars if you love driving and aren't worried about dull things like comfort, safety, practicality, fuel economy, low insurance.

sat in the 3R, she who must be obeyed asks:-

1. What's the fuel consumption?
2. How practical is it for shopping?
3. Will it fit in the garage?
4. How much for servicing?

My question

1. When can I have one?

Snag is, i dont find hard, supportive seats comfortable at all. I dont have much meat on me so even normal car seats are painful after an hour of sitting in them. I doubt the Noble's seats would be nice for long journeys. Maybe they should do Noble-branded cushions

1. What's the fuel consumption?
See www.lotus-elise.org.uk/noble for my running costs

2. How practical is it for shopping?
As long as you don't have a passenger then ~8 to 9 full shopping bags can be fitted safely into the passenger seat well and seat itself. You can also fit a few things behind the seats as well (flowers etc. for her...

3. Will it fit in the garage?
How big is your garage? I've a normal size garage and it fits fine

4. How much for servicing?
See above

My question
1. When can I have one?
Now you have the answers to those questions - as quickly as you can order one!
