I'd take the S2000, I find the Elise really hard to get into and too much roadnoise to deal with

Have you ever sat in an Elise?

I'm really interested in buying an Exige, but definitely not as a replacement for my S2000 as a street car. The Exige would be pretty much track-only. The S2000 is a much better street car.

Its a blast to drive but thats only if you can get into the car. You need to have the doors pretty widely open to get in. To me its too much of a hassle asa DD. + i hate the shifter on the Elise. It feels clunky when compared to the S2000.

You need to decide how much you can put up with compromises as to wether to get the Elise.
