ok I test drove the exige S2 today.
and the verdict is…
It’s a Great Town car that even my mother can drive!
However, I still prefer my S1 because it has a real lumpy engine, it sounded right for a sports car, it’s Hardcore!
none of these, aircon and electric window stuff!
plus the sales manager said that he would only accept �17K as a trade-in on my Exige, and he would not take my Honda converted example because he could not resell it.

That Lotus dealers attitude REALLY pi$$es me off!
Because after they offer �17K they go and sell the car for �25K. We have seen that in the past!
How daft do they think we are to lose that much money to step… laterally (instead of up) for a new car?
Although if I were a dealer, I wouldn’t buy/sell it, as then I’d have to warranty it.
Putting a warranty on a car isn’t a problem.
Putting a Lotus-backed warranty on one is slightly trickier… though they often end up being managed by the same company.
