This followed me home today...

General Owners Cars

My daily driver recently gave up on me and after a full day of going round with the local dealer, I’ve enlisted this for commuter duty.


Fortunately, it seems as if it will get on well at the track should the Exige ever be in too many pieces to get back together in time.

I played “WRC pilot” on the way home and even had my passenger calling out turns and distances (she’s quite a good sport)!

Cool Man, I like EVO’s, and they are super practical and a great every day car. Unfortunatly here in Birmingham they are the ram raiders weapon of choice, I know of loads that have gone walkies, so not a viable proposition as an every day motor for me.

I’m quite liking being an old git in my X5 at the moment to be honest.

Sean…

That looks neat codymac - by way of contrast this followed me home today. The only similarity to what followed you is the colour me thinks

Can’t argue with 60mpg with a pretty good level of comfort and luxury, fits on the drive, will accomodate baby + accessories

Yes I checked you can fit a towbar (but with a 90bhp 1.4TDi it would be slow progress towing the Exige).

Gulp Can’t see them lasting long in that application!


In hindsight, I probably should have kept the 3er that I parted with when I picked up the Exige. I do miss the German build quality and the new ones, well… no.

Well, the color and the four doors and the practicality! Congrats! We’ve never gotten the A2 and only recently they’ve brought in the A3. We Yanks are currently being denied the TDi in the GTI and A3 although I expect that to change if we don’t get out of the sandbox soon.

So far, it seems like it’s quite a hooligan car and it certainly looks the part with the big wing and “sticky out bits” on the roof.

If you’ve a lot of time to kill, here’s my review when I test drove one against an STi:
