After owning the Exige for 2 full years, I look back at the cost of owning, maintaining and running a Lotus Exige. Part of the logic behind buying the Exige was that it *should* be relatively cheap to run compared to other performance cars, but did that turn out to be true?

Had an elise and an evora, had a couple of caymans as well. Been wanting an Ultima but i keep finding myself staring at the honda swapped elise/exiges on the market. I feel like a 300bhp exige would be perfect amount of power for me. Once you have had a lotus you always have a desire to own another, fantastic characterful cars.
Great video – nice to have the honesty and transparency that helps potential buyers. I'd recommend you take it on track though – look at Bedford, snetterton or silverstone for a first day (good run off and more predictable etc vs. Brands). On track Lotus come ALIVE.
That is very reasonable for the type of car, try owning a Noble! Love my Exige
Bring back the Clio 182
I just found your videos a couple days ago and am glad to see you're still happy dailying your Exige, which is something I'm looking into doing (if I can find a good deal on one). Have you considered getting the soft top and adding the brackets for it to your car? Then you could take it out without the roof and not worry about rain.
Thank you for your review!!! enjoy the car!
