The LOTUS EXIGE (2004-09) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8 240 CUP RACE 6SPD is a rare, two-seat British sports car, rather than a family car. With its open-top layout and character, it sits at the enthusiast end of the UK used-car market. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 22 look-ups covering 10 distinct VINs, a small sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £12,400 and average recorded mileage of 32,000 miles. The average is just over three previous keepers; annual mileage is recorded as zero, so it should not be treated as a typical real-world usage figure. Typically suited to keen drivers seeking an involving weekend or occasional-use car, rather than commuters needing space, comfort or low running costs. The Exige is known for sharp responses, light weight and an intense driving feel, setting it apart from roadsters such as the Mazda MX-5. Its appeal is focused fun, not practicality or fuel economy.
