The LOTUS EXIGE (2009-21) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8 240 S PERFORMANCE SPORTS 6SPD is a two-seat, open-top sports car, not a practical hatchback or family car. In the UK, it occupies a specialist, premium sports-car niche, attracting drivers who value sharp handling and an involving, focused drive over everyday space and comfort. In mycarcheck.com records, this version has 12 look-ups covering three distinct VINs, so the sample is small. Those checks show an average private sale valuation of £18,400, average recorded mileage of 25,000 miles and annual mileage of 1,000 miles. The average previous-keeper figure is about 4.6. The low annual mileage suggests occasional use, though histories vary. The Exige suits enthusiasts or a second-car buyer, not families or long-distance commuters. Its compact, focused feel and roof-down character make it distinctive for keen drivers beside more comfort-led rivals such as the Porsche Boxster; buyers should prioritise condition and history over headline mileage.
