Lotus Exige - why did I wait so long ?

New to Lotus ownership, but now had (well, when weather allowed) 9 weeks of driving ecstasy !

Congratulations, inspired choice.

 

For anyone that can fit in an Exige there's very little out there to touch it.

Hi that looks great. I think thats what I would go for if I have the cash to spend....So thats a roadster with a hard top?

Thanks - Yes, it's a removable hard top. It came fitted, so given the time of year I haven't tried the soft top yet

That's gorgeous. Enjoy! I'd love once of those but need more seats :-( if I won the lottery it along with a Rapide S and 458 Speciale would be in my garage!! Congratulations and great choice.

Cheers,

A ;-)

Lovely looking car. I think Lotus got aggressive styling just right with the roadster and your colour combo is v nice. With the roof off do you find you can hear the exhaust more?

Given the rubbish weather we've had, not had chance to try mine topless yet. With the hard top on its identical to the coupe.

I did drive one round Goodwood circuit a few months ago, and as you would expect at low speed pushed hard it was a little louder and wind noise at speed dominated. But had a helmet on so it was all a bit muted.

Thanks all for your comments........the wife thinks it becoming an obsession (she's wrong - its become!)

Very nice!

Lovely looking car, would that be the one I saw driving through Maidenhead over the weekend ?

Thank you, thank you....

 

I did have a little spin on Sunday through the West Berkshire country side, but I'm afraid I didn't get as far as Maidenhead.

Didn't realise you could get the roadster with the hard-top!

Looks excellent - great choice.

[Kimbers]

Awesome car, welcome to the forum.

It's the same part as the Elise hardtop. A few coupe owners have taken theirs off too and drive around topless or wit the soft top!

[Bloke79]

Ahh - good to know that you can do that.  That's a nice surprise
