I also own an '06 Exige. While the two cars are similar in size, they go about their business in very different ways. The 4C produces a lot of torque at relatively low rpm, and for me, that is fun. The Exige makes power over 5K. The 4C is more stiffly sprung than my Exige, and seems over-damped in compression. The brakes on the Lotus feel stronger, but that could be from the lighter weight or the package, or pads, or ? For me, there is more room in the Exige, as the 4C requires an upright driving position (can't recline the seat back), and the Exige does not. (I'm 6'2\"). I prefer the manual in the Exige, but the DCT in the 4C, while not as \"engaging,\" works fine. Both handle well, but feel different in the process.
