NobleM400 vs Tuscan2S

[latyshev]

I am going to buy a new car and the choice is pretty much between these two...

I plan to use the car as a daily driver, no tracking, but some enthusiastic driving

For me, the main concern about Tiscan, is its handling. I am a bit worried about tail-fishing and its cornering abilities.

The main concerns about Noble are looks and interior.

So, which one, IYO will be the best choice?

Also, apparantly noble is pretty good in handling snow... How about Tuscan? (obviously, provided i fit winter tyres)

At the end of the day the choice will be yours and yours alone. Get a test drive in both and see which puts the biggest smile on your face. I have driven my Tusc in 2 winters, some snow and plenty of greasy roads. Extreme caution is required, but that goes for any car. They are such different animals I dont think you can just say one is better than the other. I have been out in a few Noble's and they are impressive, but IMHO the Tusc wins hands down on character and that certain something that you just cant explain but causes you to find any excuse just to get out and drive. Mind you I am biased.

Good luck.

Yeah

If you're really into good handling, get the dampers + springs on the Tuscan switched for Nitrons or equivalent/better. That plus the new steering rack on the Tuscan 2 should be on a par with the Noble in terms of real-world (i.e. non track-day) handling.

With the Tuscan at least you get a boot...

tusc is far better looking imo but then that goes for most of the cars on the road, not just the m400 which is a bit of a minger in comparison. I'm sure it would drive well though.

As both cars are lightweight rwd with wide low profile tyres I'd be amazed if there was much to choose between them in this repsect. R...

Personally Id go for the Noble but you said for a day to day car and....

Question about snow was just for interest sake really... Moscow Winter + TVR/Noble dont go well together

[WYSIWYG]

At least in the Tuscan you get a few creature comforts like electric windows and air con and of course the knowledge that your not being powered by a Ford , no matter how powerful it is

You're in RUSSIA? You HAVE to get a TVR! How cool!

Excellent, I lived in Moscow last winter and loved driving there, but I had an Audi A4. It was still quite scary at times. In those conditions a TVR or Noble would be a nightmare. Even the Bulvar can be nasty at times.

I'd go for the Noble personally out of those 2
