The LOTUS EXIGE (2009-21) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8 257 S RGB 6SPD is a compact, two-seat open-top sports car, rather than an everyday hatchback or family car. In the UK it sits in the specialist, enthusiast end of the used-car market, appealing to drivers who value an engaging drive over space and convenience. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 29 look-ups covering 12 different VINs, so the figures offer a snapshot but a relatively small sample. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £19,800 and average most recent recorded mileage of 33,000 miles. Typical annual mileage is just 1,000, with three previous keepers. That low annual use suits weekend drives, spirited outings and collecting, rather than commuting or carrying children. Its open-air feel and focused, lively character make it a distinctive choice among rivals; the trade-off is limited practicality. For keen drivers, this Lotus Exige roadster offers an alternative to comfortable sports cars.
