    I'm researching to buy a car - any suggestions?

    I'm researching for my first sports car - any suggestions? I have a sport SUV and a luxury sedan - so I really only need a 2 seater. I have considered to get a Noble M400 or the M14 - has anyone here ever driven one?

      Personally a fan of the Lotus Exige even though it is only a 1.8.

      Oh and dare I call you a sig whore with a post count of 10 and you registered in 2002?

                          I'll pass on the Subaru - I want something a bit more upscale

                              I haven't driven the Lotus yet, if it is anything they say that it is it'll be awesome.

                              Here's a good video about the Lotus.

                              Right around in that same price range I would also look at the Wiesmann but stay away from the TVR Tuscan2 unless power is more important than a well built car.

                              Are you in the US?

                                  Most of those days are gone with the Quattrovalve systems. Ferrari does make a good car, but selection is everything.

                                                  very similar in size.

                                                  I'm not sure of the availability of the Wiesmann, but it is worth looking into as well.

                                                  I wish we had cars like this in the states. Might be a good reason to move to Canada.

                                                      Unfortunately, I can only afford a matchbox size of this..

                                                          Your in the UK right? get a TVR, i currently own a Tuscan.

                                                          Very fast & attracts a lot of attention!

                                                          or you could go for a Sagaris, if you can afford a Noble i expect you can afford one of those.

                                                              TVRs are great. I'm in love with the Tuscan. My neighbour has a Tuscan S, what a brilliant car.

                                                              Daruma, you do realise there is a 20-25k difference between those two Nobles?

                                                                  If you want to spend more money ... then go for an Aston Martin DB9 (which is fast but not 100% sports car - more like a GT car)

                                                                  Dont even go to Ferrari ... that shit is for posers and rednecks.
