i think that the Exige is the better looking vehicle because it is more realistic, more practical, better running, more efficient, more tecnologically advanced and better at everything it does than the Lambo is at anything it tries to do. the Exige will out accelerate, out handle and flat out beat the Lambo at everything except ‘top-speed’

Pete from Woburn, MA:I rented an Elise in Vegas for a day as a combination fun day and test drive before buying one. I wanted to see if I fit, because I heard it’s small and I’m not exactly tiny. It’s small, no doubt. Getting in and out can be a laugh, especially for new passengers. But OMG! This is the most fun car I’ve ever driven, hands down. It feels like a race car and even has a spartan interior like one. It’s got all the power you need to have fun without so much that you do stupid things. It’s got a great throaty sound to the free revving engine and it’s an absolute pleasure to whip around corners. I don’t care how small it is or how difficult it is to get in and out of. When I’m in, that’s the only place I want to be! If you’re a purist and want a true sports car made for drivers, not posers, this is your car. It’s reasonably priced, runs with cars far more expensive and will keep a smile on your face. What are you waiting for!
Excel for look, poor to drive and enjoy:Vary rough for normal road drive and the car over price a bit. If you want my honest opinion, don’t get this type of car. It’ll be a piece art work to keep for a long time but not for daily driving.

alessandro:I am very happy with my exige gt but battery si really too small! If I don t use it for 20 days the battery runs completely out of power and I have to change it. everything else is perfect! I undesrtand that it s an extreme car but.. with a 3 pouds more battery it would me much better!
Ron from Detroit Mi :I have had a number of Lotus cars, from Series 1 sevens forward. It is a straight path from the Elevens, and Series 2 Elites to this car. I am told an owner drove his 1962 Elite to LeMans and won and drove it back
I did the same yesterday with my S at the local track, and the highpoint was the Porsche guys finally waiving the pass after not being able to shake the little car.
Hats off to Lotus, for building a racing experience in a moderate priced car, and sticking to their roots - unlike my pals at Ferrari and Porsche where the glory of the past sells the cars of today.
