 The Car Addict's recommendation | |
Brilliant handling. That of a true racer. It also is pretty swift. Costs between £31,000-£37,000 which isnt bad for something as high performing as this. It is a perfect car for someone who loves to throw cars at corners and feel like a racer! It also shows up supercars in terms of performance. I drove it around a track and I have to say, it is phenomenal. It drives beautifully. The grip is endless. This has to be one of the best handling cars in the world.
Not very practical. You won't use this car for an every day thing, nor a school run. It doesn't look to great either. It doesn't have the same looks as say a BMW 3 Series or a Prosche Caymen. In fact, the BMW is cheaper than the Exige. If you want an all out racer as well, you could go for a Caterham or an Ariel Atom. Those are true race cars. Around the track, the BMW was more civilised. It was great. The Caterham was mad, but great fun. It was more enjoyable to be in the Caterham because it felt so raw.
This kind of leaves us with a problem. If you want a good looking car, you would go for a BMW 3 Series. If you want a racer, you would go for a Caterham. However, the Exige is brilliant. The BMW is boring and the Caterham is...well...dangerous. The Exige is a healthy balance between the two.
