its bloody great. its a firm ride but no worse than a sti scoob or a evo its a bit noisy but you can turn radio up or lisen to engine(it sounds great at full tilt) and its even got air con . its as quick as my mates hawkeye sti upto about 140 but you have to work at it but thats all part of the fun it will do almost 150 .but the handling is just fantasic you can carry so much speed though corners that your 100 yards down the road before car following is out of corner its superb.i am really really pleased with it .and the best bit insurance was £300 less than my hawkeye and it does 35 mpg if you drive it steady and its so nice to drive .

just one piece of advice.............if its got the standard tyres on it (bridgestone RE summits) watch it in the wet. I know someone who flung one down the road and he was neither travelling fast nor short on driving talent!!!

Superb bit of kit m8......been toying with the elise / exige idea myself.....might even have convinced the missus on the basis of cheaper insurance and more economical!

as the exige has better power to weight than both those cars and will out handle both i think they probably where not trying to hard .although m3 and type r are very nice cars . i have been round nurburg ring in mk 1 exige and that memory will stay with me as one of the best times i have had in a car and i was only in passenger seat
