The new Exige looks an interesting proposition to follow my s2k.
Has anybody tested an exige against The S2 k and what was your opinion??

Bloody pain to get in and out of!

It should be a good prospect with a reliable Toyota engine.

I can't fit in an Elise with the roof in place so I don't think it'll be a possibility for me.

How tall are you Neil?

Bassoctopus

6'2" (and pretty bulky these days)

I'm sure if I really tried hard I could manage it, but I wouldn't be prepared to do it on a regular basis. I've been in one with the roof off and got in but wasn't particularly comfortable. I tried to get in one with the roof on but gave up

JMP

I'm 6'1" and it wasn't the easiest to negotiate

Quite good fun watching my bro get in to a Caterham with a roll cage (have to climb over it and drop in from above)


Anyway, anyone got anything to say on topic?

(Sorry)

Isn't an Exige really a different type of car ?

The 2 cars don't really compete as they are so different - an exige would be great just for the track, but there's no way it's practical enough for me.

Yeah, great car for the committed driver, with a heavy bias towards the track day market but not an every day thing, like the S2000. What ever you do, don't crash it either

The 2ZZ engines a fine engine but the F20C is far better.


What we really need is a elise with the F20C mounted in it
