    Depeneds what you are after. If you want a car that has crap build quality and reliability is an issue but the car is incredibly quick and looks good then you would buy a TVR.

    They may be "flimsy" and "not handle well"(at least to you) but I think that they look great.

    Yeah, they’re currently patrolling their borders with Tuscans, it’s having a huge impact on the world’s breakdown truck resources.

    I visited their website and I can't tell if they are still in business. The Blackpool factory is closed and the are (supposedly) making cars in a "state of the art" facility. They don't say where that is. Sorry, I'm not trying to pile on, as I've always been intrigued with TVR. I must say that the current range of cars look like they were styled by a bored but creative 8th grader who is not paying attention during biology class. (Now, that's piling on).

    And....they kept one running long enough to appear in a John Travolta movie a few years back (Swordfish, I think). (Ditto, piling on)

    I will buy the Sagaris in that price range it is. Beats the life out of 911TT in terms of rawness and looks. Who cares about the reliability, Ferrari's haven't been doing all that great until recently.



    It's brutality in car form
