LOTUS EXIGE (2004-09) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8 189 SPORTS
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The LOTUS EXIGE (2004-09) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8 189 SPORTS is a compact, two-seat British sports car, aimed at drivers seeking excitement rather than family space. In the UK market it sits in the specialist, lightweight sports-car niche, unlike everyday hatchbacks or SUVs, and is a rarer, more focused choice than mainstream roadsters.
mycarcheck.com recorded 56 look-ups covering 21 distinct VINs, giving a useful but modest snapshot. Its checks show an average private-sale valuation of £7,300 and average recorded mileage of 48,000 miles; estimated annual mileage averages 2,000. Vehicles in the sample had around 4.6 previous keepers, so checking individual history and condition matters.
This Exige suits enthusiasts and weekend drives, rather than commuting with passengers or carrying luggage. Its styling, open-air feel and 1.8-litre engine stand out against comfort-led rivals such as the Mazda MX-5. Practicality is limited, so inspect condition and history carefully before buying, and compare asking prices.
