Its just way too compromised (in turn its just way too raw) to be a daily driver.

Tiny as hell, barely any creature comforts, stiff as a rock, better engine though (1.8L 2ZZ-GE!...later ones dropped that engine and went with a supercharged 1.8L 2ZR or 1ZZ, and even the most recent ones went with a 3.5L V6)

Toyota owns like a 15% stake in Subaru so even if a collaboration car (in tis case the 86/BRZ) ends they can still go to Subaru for any type of project if they wanted to.

I daily my Exige all the time.


Every Exige S I've seen has been a supercharged 2zz.


Also, I don't believe any V6 Exige has ever been street legal in North America. They are track only cup cars.


And you are correct, very raw.
