Fun.

I have the 2008 S. It is a well balanced car that you can aggressively throw around. A lot of fun to drive and very forgiving. The Exige S is fast, but the top speed could be higher. Don't understand why Lotus held back. ?? I would very much recommend this as a weekend car. The only downside is that it is a cop magnate. Buy a good radar system and you will be fine.

One good city slicker

Even thoug the Exige is tiny and has a dissapointing top speed, its very good with handling, and even good with gas too. And you don't even have to give up that many dead presidents either.
