James B Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Right to explain...... Few weeks ago I had a driving experience where I had a whizz in a few cars from a Gallardo to an Ariel Atom. Well, it got me to thinking about cars and while I adore my Zed (I still swoon when I look at it parked outside), driving the atom has turned me onto the idea of a more involved, raw driving experience. Which rbing me nicely onto the title. I think an Exige might be the way forward. Lightning quick, raw and well...... what more to add. So wanted to know who's driven an Exige, owned one. You're all helpful peeps so just an open invite for everyones thoughts. Quote
Gball1973 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Not an ex-owner, but nice enough cars. Next door neighbour is on the Scottish Elise forum http://www.scottishelises.com/phpbb/index.php and currently has a S2 Elise. Great fun on the twisties and roundabouts One of the guys from that site regularly visits Knockhill with his club racer, but bad timing means i've not had the chance to get pax laps with him Quote
EH 370z Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Never had an Exige before, but I did run an Elise for a bit. Is this gonna be your only car? Because the tricky getting in and out, and the lack of a few luxerys, got old very quick. I was done with it after three days. Quote
Peter10 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I looked at the Exige before the 350z. Apart from it being a lot more to insure for me, it didn't have a practical thing about it. Whilst I don't have a wife and 3 kids, I don't think I could even get a guitar in the thing . Quote
Neilp Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 My biggest problem with the exige is getting out Quote
Stew Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 My biggest problem with the exige is getting out Hands on the ground feet on the seat and army roll out. What could be cooler when you arrive at the office..... Quote

Vik54 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 probably got to be a Lotus as next owner experience after the zed (wash my mouth out! ) What about this... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3047345.htm ? Quote
Stew Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I'd love one but it'd be a toy only..... So I'd be aswell buying a caterham and a raincoat. Quote
