Here is a short "subtitling":

The first minute or so he complains about the car not accomodating a tall person, he then tries the exige with added supercharger that delivers 256 HP, he complains again about getting in, he praises the light weight, he says that the exige S base with 220 HP can be tuned up to 270 HP. Then he complains about the short length of the car and how it's not "manly enough" and he even calls it a Micky Mouse car.
875 Kg, 0-100 km/h in 4.1 S and top speed more than 250 km/h, but while at 200 km/h, the car is shaking too much for his taste. Then he nags about only 4 cylinder and how a "real" sport car should at least have a 6 cylinder engine. Then he praises the handling of the car. At the end, he goes over the price of the car, which was 89000 Euros only 2 years ago(leather, good stereo, roll bar, etc.) but now the asking price is 69500 Euros. He says that he didn't fall in love with the car but it might be a good car for someone who is short and has plenty of money to spend.

The real question is, how many tulip bulbs does an Exige S cost in the Netherlands these days?

I don't get it and I just wasted 15 seconds of my life (yes, that was my attention span on this clip).

That's VERY accurate.... Have to take care about making comments here

Oh yes, the car is equipped with a KOMOTEC supercharger. The 270 HP they are talking about can happen with an ECU tune and an air to water intercooler.
