Std s2 Exige upgrade to S2s Exige

[s,one]

Is it worth the extra money or am I going to wonder why I bothered.

Drive one and find out

Have done and not sure. I'm begining to think people who have only test driven the std car haven't given it fare chance.

Will cost you probably £10k to change, if you like yours enough then keep it. You'll only get another kick in the nuts for another £10k's worth over the next 2 years (more if you're unlucky), so if you've no reason to change, enjoy the current steed

Personally I was underwhelmed by the standard Exige when I tried one, for many reasons it wasn't something I could live with straight out of the box. Having gone the alternative route to more power I'm 100% sure I picked the right route for me, but I do appreciate that others prefer the factory one.

Dunno what your car history is like but if you haven't considered it, driver training is the cheapest way to go quicker round a track (apologies if you have )

Circumstances have only got me thinking about a change ,I was quite happy with the std S2. But he who dares and all that. I just wondered if anyone on here had gone from a std to an S.
I have had an S1 Exige and now an S2 and it's difficult to get an unbiased view.You know how it is people go on how much better the S1 is than it's replacement and to be honest I don't think they are that diffrent.
Think I'll have to go and test drive the S again.

I went from a standard S2 Exige to an Exige S. Can't recommend it enough - the S is such a complete car. Really quick when you want it to be but actually more useable when you're just cruising due to the extra torque.

Yes it will cost you a few quid to change but I can't think of anything else I could have done with the money that would be more enjoyable.

Thanks Chris.

I've thought about going into an S2 S from my S2 but its a big amount of cash to find, My S2 is only 8 months old and I would still have to find around 10 to 12k to change. Still having a test drive this week just to get it out of my system.

If you really fancy one sell yours over the summer and then wait for some poor b*stard in the depths of winter to 'new job forces sale' or 'baby forces sale' and save yourself £££££

Hi, I bought my S2 Exige in graphite grey color new last year, but after having driven the Exige S with full options two weeks ago, I have decided to change my car to the new Exige S for various reasons: suspension, engin, comfort...and of course somebody is buying my car with a very good value. Hope my decision will be right, should receive the new car in the next couple of days, this time I get in Solar yellow with GT stripes, haven't see the job yet, but hopefully soon.
Actually I have made the calculation as follow: Should I decided to upgrade the Exige to Exige S, I need to build in a compressor (EUR 11000.-), upgrade the suspension (Bilstein one way adjustable), the clutch, etc which after math made not much sense...
