Any thoughts gents ?? Is it worth switching across ?

Not sure if anyone has done it yet but I would be interested as have not even seen an M400 yet but am told it is a very different car.

Depends how rich you are IMO.

Plenty have done it, and it seems to me a better car. Just depends how much it will cost you to change and your finances.

Money & purpose really. If you're a big track man then yes, M400. If you're not then 3R. Let's remember the 3R (and the GTO3 and GTO for that matter) are not exactly slow-coaches!

I have thought about changing my GTO3 for M400. Chap from MV said that I should think about how many long drives I'm likely to make. M400 has narrower seats than 3(or 3R) and may be less comfortable on long hauls. Performance-wise, it would be nice to have an M400 even though the 3 is plenty quick enough IMHO.

Seats may be narrower but more padded by all accounts which is what counts for me. Also hopefully they have more squab support, with the slightly offset position I find that my legs get pretty tired without any support under my thighs in my GTO3.

I have to agree I feel that the M12 has an excellent range of model specification which NOBLE offers to suit all kinds and wallets.
