Just thinking ahead to my next car in about ten months or so, I miss something raw and unrefined. I'll be selling the Mundano and buying a cheap hack for lugging my work toolbox around if I move contracts and something fun for the days off.

I'm looking at either a 111R Elise or a Exige, all I think I know is that they both have the same engine (190Bhp Toyota unit) and one has a fixed roof and the other doesn't.

Is there much difference in feel of the two, chassis wise/suspension/etc..?
Anything else to be aware of running costs between the two?

Cheers Nathan, will have to try both at some point and see how bad it is. I've had hard riding cars before and they didn't bother me before in the slightest.
As long as the Exige isn't too hard to the detriment of useability on rough surfaces it might be fine for me :)

I will taking a trip down to the local Lotus garage in Stansted village tomorrow to have a look around and see what's what.

Lack of weight and a sublime chassis could do that, the ITR with its LSD could scare a few passengers on tight roundabouts :D
