What Car? says
For The Exige provides outstanding grip and a sensational drive
Against It’s impractical for everyday motoring and noisy at speed
Verdict
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but on B-roads, the Exige is a blast
Go for… The Series II, launched in 2004
Avoid… Cars that have spent too long on trackdays
- 1. Ask the seller about what the car has been used for, and about any damage or repairs
- 2. The brake discs need changing every 10,000 miles, the clutch soon after and the suspension needs to be regularly overhauled
- 3. Take time to check out the seating position. The steering rack doesn’t adjust, so make sure you can get comfortable
- 4. Practicality? You must be joking - storage space is virtually non-existent
- 5. On early cars, fuel can leak from the petrol tank during cornering
