Default I drove an Evo FQ400 MR Saturday and

must admit it was quite nice to drive. I also came home the 150+ miles in it.
Soooo different to the P1 whereby you could hold a sensible conversation on motorways. The centre mirror had zero vibration which was cool and when going over bumps and manholes yer scrotum doesn't side exit ya pants.

Better on fuel as well.

All in all quite nice.

The FQ340 is supposed to a much nicer car still. Less lag, and just a remap takes them to very comfortable FQ400 performance and 400/400.

I just picture the Clarkson episode when anyone ever mentions the FQ400..

I've not tried one but I suspect a FQ340 straight out of the box would be a very capable and reliable car.
