2009 Lotus Exige S review from UK and Ireland
"Belter to drive like you're 8 years old again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tyres wear incredibly quickly.
General comments?
Very good through the corners, if not exceptional in terms of brute strength, then it makes up for it in the corners.
Driving is brought back to basics and this lightweight car is blinding to drive. This is essentially a race car, something to take to a trackday and leave you smiling for a week. Very good British engineering.
