dr bru Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 with rising petrol prices I just cant see myself keeping the z for more than 6 months so time to think about other cars. Want to buy a "toy" and a cheap run around like a smart car Top of the list is a lotus exige s...what does everything think of this car..Budget of up to 30K. Oh and it can also do 33 mpg on the combined cycle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Love it, superb handling and power to weight ratio, its a bit hardcore to live with though, like the vx220 is but good for a weekend toy toyota reliability http://www.pistonheads.com/lotus/defaul ... ryId=13118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Realy good car. I just would not fit in it as a daily drive. If you are based south come to LoTRDC at brands end of march as there will be 100+ elise/exige and I can get you to have a word with a few owners.

steve_b Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I am sure Kev can also recommend a visit to SELOC.org to get some facts/figure/views Kev, You going to make it to any of the LoTRDC this year. Just signed up for the box at brands so will be doing all those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Amazing car. Have an Elise here and would love to get my hands on an Exige S at some point. Do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Get down your Lotus dealer and take one for a test drive. You'll be hooked like I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be doing most but wasn't planning to go to Brands as it's a bit of a motorway trek, (no fun is the Exige), but might be tempted If there's a good view. PM - me.
