hedgerley 405 2 Vehicles Report post Posted November 21, 2012 So, if the roof panel on the coupe can be removed and the wing can be deleted, what's the point of the roadster, which I guess only comes with a soft top? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

douglasgdmw 4 1 Vehicles Report post Posted January 6, 2013 Here's some proof that you can live in Scotland and drive an Exige V6 in winter. The car is Murray's demo: Aspen White with Race Pack, Diamond Cut Wheels, Convenience Pack, Parking Sensors, Air Con and Heated Seats. Forgot to ask whether Brandon switched on the heated seats on the way up? Taken from the LEGS meet on Sunday 6th January: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy1969 233 1 Vehicles Report post Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Did the guys from Murray mention how the corsas behave in cold - but maybe dry - weather ? (how cold was it really?) Edited January 7, 2013 by Bibs Removed quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
douglasgdmw 4 1 Vehicles Report post Posted January 7, 2013 The weather was around 7C (hence us Scots had our shorts on ;-) ) Brandon did not mention that it was slippery but did not ask specifically. Car was also being ran in so would have been limited anyway. George Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon 11 Report post Posted January 8, 2013 I keep forgetting it has heated seats! Haha...so didn't try them out to be honest. Assume it works much like the Evora on/off switch which normally takes a minute or two. We are still running it in so can't give a fair assessment on the tyres just yet. Overall though, the car feels much more planted than the S2. Have had loads of confidence in its handling, and equally as important, haven't been shy taking it on some of the worse roads around Edinburgh. What a massive improvement to the dampers/springs! It is a beast...so I am being very respectful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy1969 233 1 Vehicles Report post Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Brandon My question is if the P Zero corsas would be ok for driving around in a normal way in dry cold weather, esp 1 - 5 C from your experience (because I have the corsas on my Evora also, of course I know that for that temperature range winter tires would be better but I am just thinking of some miles in dry weather so that the car does not stand still that long in the winter months) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of a standard answer so apologies...until I can compare first hand it's tough to say. To go on a bit about the traction control system though, it is so advanced I'm not sure how best to explain it. As it has been somewhat damp for us lately, it's plenty of fun to drive in Touring Mode with exhaust valve switched open. It can be pushed beyond what would have been the ‘breaking point’, and the car can correct itself. Just incredible the amount of confidence we have in this Exige!
