I have a 2015 V6 S in Chrome Orange that i might be selling in the coming months. I guess it depends if i can find the right CSL. Everything is up in the air as i have not decided for definite yet, but i have had it 3 years now and i get a little itchy for something new.
Plus the wife is annoying me because she cant drive it..... she is too short at 5ft,1!!

Interesting topic 
Especially as I'm looking to put one next to my McLaren
They make a fantastic couple, I have a 570s TP and a Cup 430. Especially as I'm looking to put one next to my McLaren
While the Mac is undoubtedly a better long distance road car than the Lotus it can’t compete with it as track weapon and besides the Lotus sounds better

Though I'm trying to keep the mileage and wear/tear down on it hence the Exige

I too was in the market for an Exige V6s or 350. Initially I wanted the 350 as it was a newer model but after doing some research there is very little difference between the two. Yes, the 350 is lighter but I doubt very much if you'd notice the difference.
The only real thing going for the 350 over the V6 (in my opinion) is the HVAC controls light up when switched on. I much prefer the look of the glass rear window over the louvered one also.
I hear the gear linkage on the 350 is supposed to be better also but I wanted an IPS so made no difference to me.
I pick mine up this Friday

I also sold my McLaren 12C & bought an Exige 350. I loved it, had it for 9 months while trying to find a 675LT to replaced the 12C with. However a few weeks ago I traded it in for a 430CUP! It pulled at my heart strings even more than the 675LT.
I drove a V6 while looking for my 350. S 'v' 350 depends what you want. The 350 is rawer, lighter & has the exposed gear change. I found the S slightly more refined. There are elements of cost saving in the 350 over the S all in the name of weight saving! I would say I much prefer the glass screen over the louvered screen. I found the V6 gear change perfectly fine, actually very nice. I know the exposed change looks great but £5k+ ???
If you want a bargain get a roadster, my old red 350 is for sale at Oakmere. Its great with the soft top. The roadster does without the spoiler & splitter but can be had for a lot less. If you buy a roadster PM me as I have a spoiler & splitter. There is a lower 'advised'top speed with roadster but its around 140mph! Plenty :-)
If you get one its a slippery slope of tuning (look at komotec web site) carbon bits & suspension. If you can afford it a 410 sport is a great buy or even a 380 as they have lots of extra bits. If I was doing this again, on a budget, I would get a really nice S and then get 3 way nitron suspension and leave it at that. The ride is so much improved its as good as a McLaren. The standard suspension is ok but night & day next to the Nitrons, even on the road.
There is a blue komotec tuned one on PH for what seems like a very good price, not sure of the history of the car so you would need to investigate but it will be properly fast, as quick as a 12C to 100 but with a manual box. GLWS.
how much are nitrons to buy separately?I drove a V6 while looking for my 350. S 'v' 350 depends what you want. The 350 is rawer, lighter & has the exposed gear change.

Is this the red exige 350 numberplate starting SN? If so I have just put a deposit down on it!I drove a V6 while looking for my 350. S 'v' 350 depends what you want.
