Also...I have heard about issues with the transmissions on the Esprit...that the shift linkage was "notchy." Is this really an issue or just a slight annoyance you just get used to. The shifter on the S2000 is a perfect as one I have seen, and it took a while to get used to the one on the Elise, but while it was different, after a while I just seem to get used to it.

Lastly, the Exige S is in our price range...but when my wife went to look at it she said that just as it looks in the pictures, the rearward vision in entirely blocked. How is this to drive on the street? It seems it would drive you nuts, but like my father in laws old camper, I am wondering do you just get used to it.

Thanks
