So - had my Black Tuscan S for approx 4 years now - 30k on the clock and thinking of a change. Originally I always wanted a Blue Chimera with Cream leather interior...... So should I buy one and look to keep it as a long term 2nd car - keep the Tuscan S or other .(no I cannot have both!) ..Change or to keep? Discuss? Thx Nick... oops not sure where the "T" at the end of Chimera came from....

Having gone from Chimaera to T350 theres no way on earth I'd go back. Much as I loved my old Chim the T350 is better in almost every way, build, handling, noise (with JP) - the only area the Chim excelled was long distance comfort, it's more sports tourer than out and out sports car IMHO.

Keep the Tuscan, I changed from a Tuscan to a Chimaera. The Tuscan is better quality, a lot faster and my Tuscan is a lot cheaper to run then the Chimaera.

Depends on what kind of driving you do.

On the tight and twisty back roads I much preferred the Chimaera as there was more to the driving (imo). I feel that in the Tuscan I can just leave it in 3rd gear and go anywhere at speed. Plus always feel more conscience about potentially damaging the Tuscan than I ever did in the Chimaera... No idea why.

Though for everything else, I prefer the Tuscan over the Chimaera.
