    Like you, it’s no RS and I’m probably being lazy driving everywhere in full Auto. If I stuck it in manual and used the paddles, it might be more engaging.  It is very crashy and rigid, too stiff for our pot holed roads and I’m always on edge of damaging a wheel or catching a speed hump. The Aero pack A35 is very low.

    I was curious as to how the 2.3 with the auto box was in the ST? Especially as it being the same engine that was in the RS.

    To be fair I have not had it out on the road much to explore the potential. But so far I have to say the auto box is really good the ride is supple not firm like the RS I haven’t noticed any crashing over potholes so far. When I get a chance (I have had a thoroughly good drive) I will give my honest opinion, but so far it is ok but as I’ve said it’s not an RS, but at least it means I can keep driving for a while 👍

    @Sds, what’s the Lotus Elise S2 like to live with, do you use it as a daily?

    Amazing to drive in terms of handling but hard work in terms of noise etc
