Caterham to Atom
Discussion
I'm looking at Atoms and having almost purchased a 620R something stopped me. I've always admired them, the company ethos and the opportunity arises to purchase a supercharged 3. I've heard and seen all the stories of them being difficult and although my Caterham was a bit spikey, those of you who have moved from sevens to Atoms, what have you found. I'm fascinated by the Ariel right now.

I had an R300 Superlight (k-series) last year, and upgraded to a Duratec R400 in late summer ...
Was left wanting more power and so test drove a Caterham 620R last month, and whilst it was very impressive, I couldn't get my head around spending £20k for what was essentially an extra supercharger and the Sadev box. If the 620S had been available second hand at the time, it would have been tempting, but will be a year or so until they reach the used market.
Anyways, I spent an afternoon down at Ariel with Tom (really helpful guy) and ended up leaving having left a deposit on an Atom 3.5 ... which I'm picking up in early March!! Cannot wait to collect it!
Very similar to how I felt and how I ended up with mine.
