Good excuse to upgrade to an Exige.

My insurance with REIS went down this year, again. :thumbsup

well i wrote off my exige 2 years ago (ao48's and a very small puddle) and my insurance didn't go up at all.
now trying desperately to get back to an s1 elise, but need to get shot of my replacement exige first, not the easiest thing.
not so good hearing about the under 40 thing as my other half is 32. (she might just have to watch)
suppose with some of these going for under 7 grand now that youngsters are getting them, and it's not just their own cars - it's what they hit also....

I personally found the Exige a really easy car to drive on the limit so therefore less likely to be in an accident. The elise however needs treating with respect and driven well.
Never spun the Exige once on a track day but ended up backwards twice in the s1 my first time out "taking it easy"

Wee bitty different when you've got a Honda in it :mrgreen:

But, aye, an S2 of any description (Elise or Exige) is friendlier on the limit than an S1.
