Interesting conudrum.
Having not had the chance to sample either, I'm going to go with what I like in a car and how they make me feel.
On the basis of that, I'd be going to Hethel. From where I stand, I reckon the Exige would be the more "special" car, if you know what I mean?
That's not to shy away from the fact that the CSL is a VERY special car indeed - it absolutely is, however the Exige would feel more special to me.
Hmm that doesn't make much sense, does it?
Way I see it GP, you've already got the CSL, if you want to scratch the itch, move it on and get into an Exige. If you play your cards right, you could even do a swap back to a CSL again without having lost much, if anything.

Hey haud the bus
Just nipped into the classifieds there - I didn't realise the roof was removable on the Exige?
As per - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2094804.htm
That being so, I say Exige - most definitely.

GP don't let your previous experience put you off.
Having read your posts on here I think that you KNOW where you need to go next.
Give it another chance, but get a straight one this time...
The last one raped me hard enough to send me back into the fiscal dark ages. It'll be a while before I can afford another.Having read your posts on here I think that you KNOW where you need to go next.

Otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I don't understand the "backwards step" thing - is there a hierarchy of cars that are "forward steps" and others that aren't? Don't people just buy the car that best fits their requirements and desires at the time?
How do people decide what is a backwards step and why is it important?

2:12 - WOOF! That'd have me fizzing at the clopper.The French are going crazy for S1 Exiges, as I said I narrowly beat one guy but there were another two guys who were enquiring about it. Its all good though for us owners, with so many going abroad and being converted to LHD, and others going into collections, prices are going up up up...
The CSL is the better all rounder - but for for pure, filtered driving enjoyment, Exige everytime.

CSL. I'm slightly biased though, I can't fit in a Lotus, so have therefore never been out in one.....I think you'd be fed up of the Lotus after 6 months, and you'll just be harking for something with a bit more substance....The Lotus, whilst fun, I feel would be a backward step
But you've just said you've never been in one, which makes your follow up comments something of a fallacy. Backward step? I know of a Ferrari and a Porsche owner who preferred driving an S2 Exige.The CSL is the better all rounder - but for for pure, filtered driving enjoyment, Exige everytime.
Friend Adrian has the Exige S S2, turned up to 290bhp, running on semi's.. boy its quick...but its a bugger to get in and out and taking it to track days requires lots of headache tablets...
Third gear went on it now replaced, doubt that would happen on the BM. Plus im sure he did tell me that on the Exige forum there was a general agreement by the majority that the car exige owners missed the most was an M3 CSL....think from ownership experience....

Without wishing to derail the thread too much, but you've got the M5, right?
So why not shift the CSL, and get into an R500 or Atom? M5 plus one of those would be a near perfect combination I reckon.
(I'm saying this because that's what I'd do...)
It sounds daft but neither the Caterham nor the Atom really turn me on. Both are surely excellent steers, but for some reason I like my cars to have doors.Without wishing to derail the thread too much, but you've got the M5, right?
