Always wanted an elise, saved up for an elise, bought an elise !
love it to bits bloody amasing handling with the a048's etc etc etc etc

this is where the dilemma lies, trackvroad opened, which is a tvr/lotus specialist
near me, so whilst having various things done have had time to have a scooch round their tvr stock.

they have had a couple of t350's around and I'm in love with the sound and looks of them, I know nothing whatsoever about tvr, but every time I am in the garage I can't help but think that the t350 looks sooooo much better than my go-kart

SsSShhhhSShhHSHHShhsh... dont tell the elise forum !

ps I love a bit of right foot, will a tiv kill me ? getting used to the elises handling !
pps if anyone can be arsed a couple of 'my first day in the t350' sort of things would be awesome !

I thought exactly the same thing a few years ago, Noel. After 5 years in an Elise I took the T350 plunge last winter. More expensive to run but I wouldn't go back. You won't go far wrong with Richard and Co at TvR either, if comments on here are anything to go by.

I've gone from a Noble to a t350 and although Trev provides me with everything i wanted (A bit more comfort and practicality) I can't help feel a little dissapointed with the handling of the T350...it's just so twictchy and lacks feel.

You should really base your decision on what you want to use the car for, If it's fast, fun B road driving then I'd stick with the elise or even venture out and get a Noble. But if it's a car to use every day yet you want power, sound and Kudos then you won't go far wrong with the T350.

Just my opinion,
HTH,
