Help!

I've mulled over the idea of buying an M12/400 for some time and reached the conclusion I should buy one.

Then some idiot suggested tha a Lotus Evora 400 might be an alternative.

Convince me either way please!!!!!

Hi Mate

I've had my GTO 3R for 9 years , it's been great .Sorry can't give you an insight on the Lotus ,but the main point of my reply is to tell you all the Noble guys are on the Facebook page . Good luck.

I’ve never had a hankering for an Evora. But I’ve got an Exige alongside the Noble. Some would say I should get rid of the Noble and just enjoy the Lotus. Fact is, they’re both great in their own - slightly different - way. If you’ve got the chance to own a Noble, do it. Very special car.

After 17 years with my M400 I thought long and hard about changing it for something " slightly " more practical last year. The only thing that came to mind at the right money (had to be lightweight/two seats, bit different/special etc) was an Evora GT410 Sport. It looked good,was nice enough inside,and very practical compared with the Noble but the test drive (it was wet so that didn't help) left me a bit unbothered. It wasn't explosive like the M400, felt far more main-stream/generic,and you could even feel the small extra weight, (as light as it still is in relation to most cars). I always felt that although it ticked a lot of boxes,I'd quickly regret selling mine and finding another was unlikely.
If it was my only car though,the GT410 Sport may well have won me over, and may do in the future if things change.
Both hidden gems of a car.
