ive test driven the s2 exige s and thought it would be awesome on the track and was great fun on the road. But the lack of erection factor that the noble has and the fact that getting in and out was impossible put me off because i could see myself getting bored of it.

I have driven the Elise which is pretty much the same car with less power. Outstanding performance but a bit too harsh and flimsy for my likeing. The Noble on the other hand.........well i have never driven one, but it is more supercar than the Exige and from the reviews it seems its easier to live with, its rare too.
The Noble would be my choice!

thats like saying a wrx is pretty much an sti but with less power. Thats a very basic view. The elise is good, but the exige is a totally different animal. The noble is the flimsy one because at least the exige's use a standard engine and the fit is much less 'kitcar'.

I get your point, but i can only comment on what i have driven. I can only imagine that the Exige is even less comfortable to drive than the Elise and there is no getting away from the fact that the Lotus is very flimsy. OK, maybe the Noble is just as wayward in the build department and im not trying to start a which car thread because the OP wasnt asking that, but the Noble is still the car i would choose.
