I've seen a couple of these on Irish roads, while they look impressive, I couldn't help but think that they look a bit thrown together in places, just my opinion.

I love these cars - in the UK they're not mad money for the performance but the revenue couldn't give me a VRT quote because they'd never heard of the car - I spent 5 weeks chasing them via email and still no quote. Gave up in the end - I was curious but not that curious.

Thats one of the things that struck me alright - great front and side profile but the backend doesn't work somehow (I must admit that I've heard similar comments re the FTO over the years....)

Doesn't do anything for me. Can you imagine driving around in this daily here in Ireland ???

Bit like a overfed Elise really.

It's a ford... :) they are ok, but could not use it as a daily driver...

If clarkson is to be believed it's an amazing car to drive - lovely engine, even if it is a ford

Really like the Noble - from what I've read its a fantastic performance car that'll punch well above its weight - HOWEVER - the interior does look like someone raided the ford parts bin for their kit car and I reckon the build quality won't be anything special.

Never mind that. Have you looked at the interior? No electric windows or mirrors. The stereo is on the passengers side. What's that all about then?
