I posted in the 911 thread which I saw first. Currently, Evora vx ratio is 10 to 1 on usage mileage is more like 100 to 1. But you'd expect that to change with better weather.

 

I can see why you would want both but I don't use a car during the week at all and a lot of weekends I am travelling, it doesn't make sense to run them both (well, i would like to) but would end up driving the car sometimes to prevent the battery going flat so I will probably just keep to the evora since it's fun enough in its own way. It doesn't have the noise (yet) of the VX, or the pace, or roof off ability but that doesn't bother me for now...

 

For me, I don't have a good specialist who is close either and don't have tools/skill/time to fix much myself so I think it's better to have, what I hope is less hassle, the evora.

Bet it makes the vx feel dated and old lol

[JG]

It doesn't actually. 

 

In some ways the VX still feels more special. 

 

In others, its true the Evora is a lot more modern and it makes a much better noise.

He did comment on that actually. 

 

Its only because i've recently gauged a foot long scrape under the audi's one. Only stopped when the front wheels hit...

I like the new 410.

[JG]

So do I, but its pretty compromised. 

 

I can't see much of a market for it. 

[CocoPops]

What he said, If you want a 2+0 (the 410 is not possible as 2+2) then buy an Exige.

If you want a 2+2, buy a 400.

[KurtVerbose]

They've removed the rear seats?

 

Don't like it so much then.

[JG]

cough, in bits...

 

 

 

Very similar to the VX and just as troublesome with rusting fixings and brackets which have turned to dust. 

 

 

 

 

uckily someone has made some stainless ones.

410 is for the Septics...Exige isn't road legal over there.

Bolt-on front subframe? Makes sense given how susceptible to wishbone mounting point damage the VX/Elise is and how unrepairable it is.
