help! what would you recommend. the s1 or s2? bearing in mind i.ve been trying to find a really nice s1 with low mileage for months… any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.
depends on what you want out of the car. If you drive 99% on road then the S2 is better but if you like doing track days then the S1 is the way forwards. If you want one that looks great then the choice is obvious.
I had the same dilema at the start of the year, opted for the S1. I keep finding excuses to go for a drive, the missus is getting a bit suspicious when I come back from buying a loaf of bread with a big grin on my face. Lifes too short go for it!
I favour the S1 but the S2 is growing on me as I see them about and on track…
Just a thought - why the concern over mileage - after all most of the car is aluminium or glassfibre, so maybe mileage is not such an issue - and of course it does tend to lower the price !!
Just my two cents…I have access to as many S2’s as I’d like and race an S1…The S1 has MUCH more personality but the S2 seems more reliable…
not driven an S1 but the exige S2 is fantastic!
I feel that the S2 would make a fantastic daily driver for occasional track day’s. Weicht from the extra like elec windows have no place on pukka sports car like the s1.
Horses for courses i suppose, what drew me to my second s1 after a year sabatical:
the engine is loud
the gearbox is loud
it consumes more fuel than my S4 on the track
it’s hot and cramped
It stops and turns like no other
For me the s1 will always be the true exige, not made to comply with silly regulations, or driver comfort orientated, and in all the miles i have driven be it to the shops or around the track, it is just impossible to get out of the car without a large smile.
That smile factor is what it’s all about. Drive them both and see which makes you smile more, i think the S1
