[partycake]

i want your job!

[ADAMBOMB245]

Would you recommend the Exige over the Evora? This is concerning convenience and functions.

[maxxbad17]

@ADAMBOMB245 THE EVORA IS MORE LIKE A FAMILY CAR, AS IT HAS 4 SEATS ETC...BUT IF YOU WANT A RACING ONE GO FOR THE EXIGE!

[xpYrOqUYx]

no doubt my all time favorite car

[mohamaddoski]

damn, you really beat on those sports cars

[opmike343]

@mohamaddoski

Driving cars hard that were designed from the ground up to be driven even harder isn't "beating on them."

[sampowersmagic]

My favourite part of this video: watching you jump into the drivers seat so effortlessly. I'm 6"4 and it's nowhere near as graceful getting into my Exige S. The ride makes up for it all though :)

[TheConspiracist1]

I don't think the radio is necessary... I would listen to the car

[Theninjalemon]

kinda sounds like a toy remote control car but i bet that it will go WAY faster than any minivan i know

[MrSpartan117fan]

1:53 - 2:03 gotta love that sound

[DionysisX]

A real driver's car

[rabidbigdog]

Why do they even sell them in the US? It hasn't got a fart-machine V8 - rednecks would be so confused.

[ColorJustinTheLines]

That guy is making out with a butt hole. Jeez yo. Stop kissing ass and give a review. "rides really soft" Yeah i can tell by the still camera, and track oriented cars aren't suppose to be soft. "these seats are really comfortable" Did you... just get in... the car? Seats that "carve to meet the architecture of your back". um, do they have rice in asia?

[Whicol2]

@ColorJustinTheLines Justin, you'd have to recognize the difference between a critical review and a sales video. ChicagoCarsDirect is a car dealership---he's here to sell vehicles, not try to find faults in them and broadcast opinions.

The Exige is excellent, btw !

[moderndayprophet]

Not sure I would want to buy this car after you abused it like that!! But I know what you'll say: "This car is designed to be driven like that"

[theoneandonlymeyupyu]

@moderndayprophet haha yea , i noticed that a lot of high end, sports or super cars have little mileage, but are almost always driven like that

[theoneandonlymeyupyu]

@moderndayprophet or abused

[tobiasjayson]

Great review. Looking at an '07 Exige, used, and can't wait to get it in my garage. Sounds like a Stage 2/3 is in order... hang with those 240/260's. Have a Yamaha R1, but it's getting a little cold. It's like a crotch-rocket on four wheels with a roof.

[mercoid]

I want one so bad!!!!!!!!!!

[fairclought7]

I heard the "shit" too . so whats the story behind it??? and who was the lucky person to buy her, i take it she sold pretty quick.

[daedelous]

I 'll never understand who would want a sports car in silver or grey. Maybe a balding Porsche owner in his mid-40s, but a Lotus owner? It makes no sense.

[29ryan49]

@daedelous Too be honest, I hate silver or grey cars, but for some reason when they have that evil grey look, it's sometimes pretty sexy.

[coandcaiv]

i still find it strange they used a toyota engine 

[daedelous]

@coandcaiv It's not strange. Developing their own motor would significantly add to the cost of the car. Plus, the Toyota engine is reliable, light, and puts out over 10hp/L, which is pretty good. I've had my Elise for four years and haven't had a problem.

[coandcaiv]

@daedelous yeah i know they are reliable....my friend has a 92 corolla with 301,000 miles on it....and it still runs good original engine

[makoshark40]

did you say bullet proof reliability?

[janmaomuriano]

i haven't been a fan of lotus because of it's too low seat. drove one and my bakc hurts like hell, well, not until i met lotus evora. you didn't do a review of it?

[ilikeimports]

Sooo... is there anybody else who wants this car? :) Because i know i do :D

[mustangman223]

can you put anything behind the seats? Jw. how wide is the back storage area and how deep? thaiks.

[dekunutsocarina]

my dream car, nice vid. i'll take 1 in yellow please.

[chinkcochen]

wish you had more hp though maybe 300

[daedelous]

@chinkcochen Determining a car's performance is more than just looking at its HP. You have to consider agility and weight, among other things. The Exige has comparable power-to-weight ratio of Corvettte C6, but I don't see anyone asking for more HP from that car. It does 0-60 in 4 seconds. That's fast enough. And the cornering is awesome. Drive one and you'll understand. Lotuses are not cars you can rate on paper. You have to experience them. Ask any own. I'm one.

[MrJAYMZ78]

this would be my everyday driver, used to have an MR2 with T tops. hope to have one of these someday. great car for LA

[daedelous]

@MrJAYMZ78 I wouldn't recommend a Lotus as your daily driver. Some do it, but I wouldn't.

[sentravq]

When shifting does a person leg get in the way? It seems really tight!

[daedelous]

@sentravq Your legs are straight enough when you drive that it doesn't. However, sometimes the passenger's knee may get in the way if they sit wrong. They readjust, though, and problem solved. Not really an issue. Once you get in, the cockpit is very ergonomic and well-designed.

[Julio765]

Once you sit in this you feel like nothing compares to it. I was in the elise sc when I figured it was worth it. The exige is brilliant because that sound of performance is right behind you.

[CammieGee]

That silver paint job is superb!

[Tripp426]

Man that engine roar with the supercharger whine is such epic music!

[propagandaaccount]

I know man. High revving 4 cylinder engine mated to a supercharger always sounds insane

[wsbygt]

I cant watch anymore or ill go insane, incredible car i know! Heart breaking driving!

[Ducabbh]

can it be driven in the rain since the rear is always open will it effect the engine at all

[fuck12341234]

Great video! I'd love to drive or get a ride in one of these one day :)

[belemabriggs]

Another amazing video Chris. For all the Ferraris and Lambourghinis in the world, I always find the The Exige s is my favourite car in the world next to the Mini Cooper S works gp. What is the visibility like in the exige?

[epluribusunum0]

It's great out the front, somewhat limited through the sides, and nonexistant in the back.

[mindtwister]

English car +.Toyota Engine = My Dream!! :D

[SHAFTYB]

Excellent car!!!

English cars are the real shit!!!!

I love them a lot!!!

[WATCH2302]

CAN I TEST IT OUT FOR YOU

[blaydrunner]

I've watched you drive Porsche's, Lamborghini's and Ferrari's...and I've NEVER seen you as excited as driving this Exige!!! That's awesome!

[Jmanmadness23]

The highway on on ramp was the best part. Awesome review, for an awesome car.

[hcg2693]

I`m going to get the lotus exige with 220hp

[davidinfo13]

great car

[motorolaq9m]

did he say SHIT when he was taking that corner at about 2:03 to 2:04 hahaha

[michaelxie1978]

Yes, he did

LOL

[chicagocarsdirect]

Yes he did...or wait, yes I did.  Good catch...thought I edited that out. Plus, that "shit" was not unsolicited....there is a story behind that!

[motorolaq9m]

oh haha id probably say the same thing if i was taking a corner in an exige

[DaBulls3st]

@chicagocarsdirect What do you Drive?

[fairclought7]

@chicagocarsdirect have you test drove an Ariel Atom yet, the 300bhp is the one to go for with its Civic type R engine but with a supercharger!!

[CarsourceUSA]

What an incredibly gorgeous car! Gorgeous car! Great Work!

[TT18T]

sweet car... but dude, u gotta keep your hands on the steering wheels.... ~.~

[fitimio001]

i would of like more info like, the type of oil it uses, and recommended, type of gas used, And The dudes height, so i can see ease for someone who is taller, to compare.

[sk8er251cc]

excellent video!!! Can't wait till I can afford one!

[PANAGOKOS]

m8 i am 6.45 feet.i have enough headroom and legroom for the exige?

[fezzial]

amazing car.. everytime i see it, it just makes me more impatient for the day when i can buy my own.

[AnthonyLizana]

My favorite part of this video: high quality interior sound. The sound of the supercharger is so loud inside, it definitely takes the fun and multiplies it times two, and this video did a great job capturing how it actually sounds.

[chicagocarsdirect]

Thanks, man. I appreciate the acknowledgement.

[nterpsfan14]

shit tats a sexy car
