You get a lot of looks and interesting responses to it being a 4cyl but the fiberglass exterior is beyond fragile and I felt like I could be snuffed out by some 4'9" soccer mom in an Escalade at any moment. I loved the Exige while I had it but I can't really say that I miss it.
Thanks! I had a couple of cars I was looking at when I picked up my 1. That was one of em but I never got a chance to test drive it to see if I made the right decision.
