It really can be hustled along at some serious speed. The car is very playful at the limit, but still composed. Took the car for a 40 mile run today choosing some of my favourite local twisty roads. Driving the car at night shows the lights are very good. The seats are very comfortable and supportive, the gearbox is great in auto or fun in manual mode, the sound system is much better than the Lotus. In fact with the extra gizmos, screens, controls to hand etc it is more sensible than an Evora in that respect, with what appears to be decent mpg when not pressing on. So after 250 miles in the car I can 100% say this car could be used as a daily driver with ease. Would love to hear how it compares to the Evora as an every day driver. If not, keep a great car that will be a rare sight into 2019. With only 130 cars in the UK I’ll be up front and say I’m tempted to flip it for a profit if available. Prefer the looks of Lotus cars, but the Alpine package is great value for money. So at the moment have a bit of a dilemma. Would be one hell of a car if they priced it competitively. Hopefully Lotus will secretly buy one of these cars, disect it , take all the good bits then wrap it with the Lotus look and sprinkle with Hethel magic. The seats in the Alpine would be so much better than the seats in the Evora 410. The auto box on the Alpine wipes the floor with the Exige IPS, although Evora 400 Auto is on par. Lotus really are missing a trick not having a lightweight 2 seater sports car that is comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and has all the latest mod cons. I can honestly say for road use only if I could have the Alpine package in an Exige body, I would take it all day long over my current Exige. Very few cars would keep up with it on twisty country roads. I have no doubt there is no car that matches this car as a sports car package at around £50k. Also the exhaust makes a great sound.ĭefintely way better than Alfa 4C as well imho. Definitely rides better than Porsche on non PASM suspension. Did a 30 mile route on some country roads that have some pretty demanding bumps and camber changes and this car soaked it up and put down the power down no problems.Īfter test driving a 718 Boxster for missus, I can without doubt say this car is faster and for the money much better specced. So with a couple of hundred miles under the belt it was time to open the car up a bit tonight as the roads were relatively dry.
