think its a good deal, the dynamic drive spare parts cost more.

the steering on the pre-lci is way too light. if the lci has not changed, I would pay the extra and get the active steering.
I have heard the active steering on LCI model are different to pre LCI, the weight are more accurate and more user freindly.
Although the original is pretty good in my opinion.

just like the M5 it is design for the track not on the road
mike m3's pretty civilized I think but with that free revving engine and the engine notes thats music to ears, it would be v hard not to push it.

so you wont get the elise now? if you have space for 2 cars, either would be a v good choice as a fun car and you will need to keep the bimmer.
I am abit struggle actually, i am sure exige s will be more fun than the GTR,
but after reading and watching on internet how GTR beat other supercars on road or track.
I think i will change my mind, plus, GTR is more daily usable compared with exige

I am abit fuzzy of which to get.
But one thing for sure is i will keep the bimmer of cos!!

mike put the power so early and yet the gtr went round corners as if it was on rail, so seems to me its fairly easy to drive but I wouldnt go as far to say its a daily car, especially the gear change is v jerky at low speed. though I agree by comparison it might be better than the exige (never sat in one b4 actually).

just curiously, are you as fuzzy when choosing your gf / wife when the time comes?

that explained it, I thought it took me longer than usual to get used to your AS. once I did though, I loved it.
