should i buy a tuscan?

Yes.
They are a stunning car to look at and a stunning car to drive - I have had no problems with mine at all and everytime I open the garage door I can`t get over how fantastic the car looks - I have never known a car that so many people admire - Go for it - it would be rude not to!!

Oh yes! Absolutely agree with all of the above. Get a chameleon colour too, and you'll love it even more.

Should you buy a Tuscan? - oh yeh! THe Evo mag gave it the thumbs up - so the honest view? well:
* Had mine over 18 months and over 20k miles!
* Got the 4.0 "original" version with reflex paint (green/mauve)- can't lose with that - the people in the know about the car think the car is dogs nuts, those who nothing about the car, think the colours lovely - win all round!
* Used it pretty well everyday - whilst we have a family car, my wife drives that daily, so I drive the Tuscan daily
* Been to Tescos, B&Q, the local tip and even collected 2 (yes 2) Xmas trees - which went in the passenger seat!
* Problems and costs? Probvlem in 1st 2 weeks with oil pressure caused by blockage in engine caused by a lump of silicon, which meant oil pumped blocked so it blows a pressure valse to pratect the engine. Also went to Le Mans in 2001 for 1st time and throttle cable came unscrewed (didn't break though
* That aside, usual stuff of door realignment every now and then, minor tweaks to things, which all get covered under warranty.
* Costs then - depends on how hard you use it - I don't smoke mine away from traffic lights, hence still have original set of tyres! Average 21/22 to the gallon almost regardless of how it gets driven - longer "steady" cruises potentially better. Services vary betwen 300 and 600 depending on which one
* Tips - air conditioning a must! Even in the winter I use that. If there's a power drain - I sure as hell don't notice it! Checking the oil an absolute must - especially once running on Mobil 1 - pricey stuff that, but that's life - I guess a litre per 1000 miles give or take. Absolutely respect the warming up to get the oil to decent running temp before caning it.
* If buying a new one now - all previou problems should have been sorted. If second hand, and less than 6000 miles, and built 2 years ago - be wary as the engine problems (finger followers) which existed, may not have come to light yet. After that, higher mileage should be fairly safe as far as I know!
* Only car? Well if you haven't got to worry about 3 seats - no issue. Just look at it, get others to look at it, and feel that smile as you're driving - there ain't no substitute. Where can you get something for that price, with that performance, for those looks and raw head turning ability for that money? No-where else! Go for it!
