Hi all,
Been looking for a new car for a while and saw an exige this morning. Funnily enough at the front of a traffic lights right infront of my workplace. Bike pulls up (nearly falls over) and gives the guy the big thumbs up.
Havent really considered on a serious level but after seeing one in the flesh have to say they do look special, if a little small, but thats the point.
My questions to those in know would be:
Which one to go for? Last 'quick' thing I had was a superbike which I sold last year due to sprog commitments, so i'd want something seriously quick. I love the idea of open top elise but are they quick enough? Would it have to be a hard top exige? (and if so, is the 220 quick enough?)
Are they reliable? (I'd be 6 hours from the nearest dealership in Madrid)
I'd buy new if not nearly new, fyi the cars I was looking at were porker 997s/sl55/vette c6. completely different animal I know, but with the extra cash i'd like to do some track days and probably a banger for commuting while in UK.
Cheers!
