Has anyone owned a tuscan and a t350, have had my Tus FOR 3 YEARS AND AM LOOKING TO CHANGE, WHAT ARE THE DIFERENCES, HANDLING, PERFORMANCE ETC. aLSO WHAT ARE THE T 350 S FAULTS, EG, ENGINE PROBS
This has been done before, I had a T Red Rose, and changed. Quite a few differences I would say. Have a hunt on the forum, you will find the answers you are looking for...
Good luck.

I had a Tuscan speed 6 and swapped it recently for a T350c. To be honest I'm not sure that I have made the right choice. The Tuscan was 2001 and the 350c is 2003 it’s a smaller engine and a smaller car, but the drive is good and the gearbox smooth both engine and gearbox better than in my Tuscan. For the grin factor I think the Tuscan would still win it.
I have reservations about the rear window security and how easy it would be to break into the car. I have already had complaints from the wife about not being able to get enough shopping in the back. I'm not complaining about that's a plus in my book.
The door opening is a real pain I hope this can be fixed and there is a loud air whistle through the door seal at 90 which will be fixed the car is a year old and has only done 2.2K miles. The Tuscan also had the door opening problem but not to the extent the 350 has. I would also prefer it if the window opened wider to allow you to get your fingers in to pull the door open. I’ve already trapped my finger once you don’t want to do it twice.. The t350 is a planted car on the road small and fast. You can get the back out if you really try. Last weekend I was trying in the damp conditions to get the back out just to see where the limit was but the car behaved really well even on the slippery roads. from that point it makes for a great drive. But for me I still think it is lacking something
In the end my choice is going to be the Tuscan and to that end today I have placed the order with racing green for the new Tuscan 2 for delivery in May 05.
So there will be a low mileage T350c for sale soon in the new year.
