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?

Fuck it, do what everyone else here does, buy a Ferrari :winkwink:

I haven't driven the Lotus - have you driven one?
Re: sigs - no need I do well..

I've heard mixed reviews - rebuilding @ 12K miles, etc.. ??

Try an imprezza, they are dam fun..

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.

That pic is a Nobel - not Lotus..
Not in US

The pic was in your reply, not my post.

Here is one of the Lotus

they look simular

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?

Dude ... forget all this BullShit ... if you can afford a proper sports car buy a Porsche 911 (preferably) or a Mercedes SLK 55 AMG (if you cant get a 911).

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.
