2007 Lotus Exige Review
Though it’s about 65 pounds heavier than the outgoing Exige, the car’s downforce remains nearly 100 pounds, which helps the Exige cling to the road like a gecko sticks to the ceiling.
motortrend reviewed the 2007 Lotus Exige and gave out”Good stuff: The revised Lotus engine-management software gives the S a smoother, more linear power curve, eliminating a nasty burp around 5200 rpm that plagued the normally aspirated engine. A short and crisp shift pattern presents easy access to the six speeds of the manual gearbox, which has overdriven fifth and sixth gears for excellent fuel economy. And though the cockpit is small and climbing in and out is a test of a supple spine, it’s also surprisingly comfortable once you’ve crawled inside, and the anatomically padded sports seats are excellent at keeping the g-loaded driver and passenger snugly in place. Not-as-good stuff: Brakes. Amazing on the street, a bit overwhelmed at the track. And that’s it. Well, maybe more power-and a bit less weight. We hear Lotus is working on it.”
