Practical Exige Question......

[Fat Arnie]

Does an Exige S1 have any kind of boot which will not leave your luggage smelling of hot Mobil 1?

[bogie]

yeah, its quite useable really...well...enough for a rucksuck or squashy holdall

[slatess1]

Youd be amazed how much room there really is in there, room for a large weekend sports holdel, smaller carrier tyoe bag and a pair of shoes! what else do you need

If i could id put the misses in their too on long journeys but thats hoping for abit much

[Fat Arnie]

So its sealed from the engine compartment like an S2?

Im sure someone will be along soon to post a pic up of the engine bay. The boot is not seperate from the engine as such, it does have a little divider in there to stop luggage falling onto the manifold etc but i wouldnt put anything loose in the boot that can fly around as you never know where it may end up!!!

If you look at my profile you can just about make out the divider on the engine bay shot, better for someone else to post a pic of it up though as my pic doesnt show it very clearly...

The real question is are you man enough to live with an s1 exige

[Fat Arnie]

An S1 Exige is easy to live with compared to my present 'fun' car. I'm looking for something slightly more practical than this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V70i2KJOtZ0

S1 exige boot area is awkward to get things in unless they are squashy, but once they are through the gap between the airbox, the sides of the engine surround and the clam you can actually get a fair bit in there since the storage area is reasonably sized. Wouldn't really want to cart tubs of ice cream back from the supermarket but it will keep your Pizza warm on the drive home!

That car looks like so much fun!! I bet you have a right laugh in that on track days! Did your passenger soil himself after that

[Fat Arnie]

Hmmm, That's not really a boot Mrs FA would want her luggage in.....

Pass in the 7 is a mate of 33 years (we met in Detention!) In that time he's become accustomed to these cars (he had a JPE himself for a while), and my driving!

Normal passengers (i.e other trackday drivers) are, well, er surprised by the acceleration.
