Im going to Noble factory next week to have my first look at Noble. There are no dealers in Ireland so anyone know are there any cars in Ireland. Is the car as good as it looks. Is it feasable to use the car as your everday car?

Alan,

I have a 3R on order (which hopefully will be ready next month) and I intend to use it as my everyday car. The 3R is actualy much improved from the std car: the turbo has been relocated and is less present, some sound proofing have been added..... I previously used an Elise as my everyday car and after test driving the Noble I think it is going to be a much easier car to use everyday (less noise and more confortable).

You may see my car at the factory (number R32). Enjoy !!

Good luck with your futur purchase (if you test drive it, you will want it, I would have warned you !!)

Alan,

MB is right, you'll see it, you'll drive it, and you'll beg borrow or steal to own it.

The wait here in the US is 5 months. It's an amazing machine. They should provide anti-depressants and a glass of water when disclosing this information...

Hi Alan,

I have had a GTO3 for about 3-4 weeks now and have been so pleased with it I have ordered an 3R.

I've had some great cars over the last few years(check out my profile) but this really is the best of the bunch, it is also used every day and copes very well.

You will buy one if you drive one

Hi Lee,
Are you serious. Are they really that good. What delivery time have you been promised? What colour is your current 3 and your future R.

Cheers,

Alan

Alan,

I ordered mine at the Birmingham motorshow back in October last year. The 3R was then a new car and Noble only started to deliver the first ones this month. I guess the waiting list is going to be around 6-8 months. However, if you are not too bothered with colors then I know a few dealership are going to receive their brand new demonstrators this month.

Hi Alan

Yes,it is a fantastic car, I went to Castle Coombe today and the car was photographed and admired by so many people (you'll need to get used to the attention.

I have an Azure Blue 3 and the new 3R will be Azure Blue with light Grey Leather, not 100% sure of delivery dates as yet as only ordered it last Friday.

Thx

Lee.
