Quite a good magazine even if he says my s1 is slow and he prefers the s2. Truth is you have to paddle an S1 very hard to keep up but it can. In my experience (having had an s2) it’s way down if torque but catches up with a faster gear change.
Of course, the s3 is just more grown up and much faster accelerating.
I think preference is totally subjective, so not sure what is achieved. The S1, S2 and in particular the S3 are totally different cars and had different remits.
Always great to see Exige in print though. And your S1 looks great. They aren’t mad fast in modern terms but to your comment you do need to know how to drive them to get best from them.
