The LOTUS EXIGE (2009-21) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8 240 S PERFORMANCE SPORTS TOURING 6SPD is a two-seat sports car with an open-top feel, rather than a practical family hatchback. In the UK it occupies a niche in the used-car market, prized for engaging drives more than everyday comfort or carrying space. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 33 look-ups covering 16 different VINs, a useful snapshot but a modest sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £19,200 and average recorded mileage of 31,000 miles. Typical annual use is low at about 1,000 miles, while cars have averaged roughly three previous keepers. Best for weekend drives and enthusiasts seeking sharp responses and a road connection, it is less suited to families or commuting, with two seats and luggage space. Against rivals such as the Porsche Boxster, the Exige is known for its focused feel and purposeful character, with comfort taking second place.
