CUP 220 - S CUP or Exige v6
Re: CUP 220 - S CUP or Exige v6
I recently heard from a reliable source that the seat issue is as a result of Gailes' "weight saving" (actually cost cutting) programme. In PSA saving a few pennies here and there on a car will add up to big savings due to the volumes of cars produced. At lotus, saving a few pennies here and there will make little differnce to the bottom line, but will leave customers hacked off.

And actual losses due to warranty charges via dealers.

I am not sure that the guys who have had clutch problems will agree with the below statement.
“Bang them home as hard as you want; after all, Lotus’s advice was “not to be gentle with the gearbox; if you want a gear, get the gear”.”

Thank you for the write up Steve, really useful info especially knowing the sheer number of miles you have done ! Next summer is my target date.C7Steve wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 6:05 amThe extra width of the V6 Exige is so much more planted, especially in the wet ...
... The engine note in the V6 is awesome and will bring a few smiles to enhance the driving experience.
The SC Elise is a brilliant car and probably the sweet spot of the range, but I preferred the V6 after my test drive of them both ...
Looking forward to hearing your own views and probably a good time to go test driving now and then pick up a good deal at the end of autumn.
Thanks Tony. My Exige S2 was back at MMC 12 times IIRC in a year due to MIL light, ECU was swamped out under warranty in the end. I am prepared for some ownership pains again.
Superb article , have forward it to the family, they just dont get it ... yet.Rosssco wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:17 pmApparently, the Exige will ruin you for all other Lotii...

That clutch thing really bothers me. 350 and up right ?

I was talking with James Hall on Friday on this very subject and also spotted that video at the weekend.

Re: CUP 220 - S CUP or Exige v6
Not a bad video, definitely useful. Too much talking about the track though , not enough about the car comparison IMO.
