Evo or Exige?

Which has more bang for your buck?
If I were to get an Exige I'd swap a K20 into it cause I saw it in a Best Motoring video and all of the drivers loved it!

So if you were to get an Exige, you would do a swap?

1. You're asking on an Evo forum.
2. Exige is more than twice the price of an Evo to start.
3. You're going to swap, and that's even MORE money.

My answer, Evo. lol

id vote exige all day. but the swap is pointless. have you driven this car? i have. it doesnt need any more power. i have never said that about a car before. it is awesome in every sense of the word. if i could afford the $ and space, and had use for a second car, i would have a white exige and never ever ever think about another car ever again

edit.. bang for the buck, evo is a better car. more usability

For the money Evo is way better. A friend with a pretty much stock Evo 8 beats a Exige in a straight line and with little suspension work its beats them on the track too. + the Evo is turboed, 4 door, AWD and Cheaper Just get a Evo it more worth it its a better all around car than a Exige

^^^ hope u have a second car..... my fiend has an Elise and he cant even fit his track helmet in the "trunk".....u have to have a 2nd car if you own a Lotus...they are totally impractical for everyday use...like going to the store, or driving across town...going though a drive though....

as far as price...last year my friend got his used 05 Elise w/ 12000 miles for something around 36k....not too expensive...but for the price not too practical for your only car.

I think MotorTrend or Car and Driver had some article a few months where a stock Evo X MR beat an Exige 240S on a track. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me for a fully loaded AWD 4 door to beat a dedicated track machine. A few power and suspension mods to the Evo and it will beat all but the best supercars on a track.

Hmmm... How bout you take the amount an Exige would cost you and buy two Evo's. An RS go-fast machine, and a daily GSR or MR.

Yeah - that shocked me too!!

I test drove one - it was amazing (240S).
