Yes, drove two cars. A standard 1.4L Diesel, and the “3L”. The 3L was available in LHD only.

I wondered where all these extra views were coming from for my video lately. Cheers David!

The Lotus Twin-Cam was made in-house, they even sold the engine to other OEMs. However they haven’t made their own motor “from scratch” for a very long time. Not entirely a bad thing - the Toyota motor is damn good.

Very useful. There’s maybe a touch less height in the back seats, which is not really a problem for the kind of people you sit there. But there’s a huge amount more room in the 400 than before (11 inches!) side to side, and there’s now a little bit of space under the seats for passenger’s feet.

Shameless self-promotion here but I’ve been doing a video series on the 400 for a few months now, mainly with the aim of helping US buyers know what the car is like to live with.
