The dashboard is simple and straightforward, with a few gauges and controls. Comfort is not a priority in the Exige, as the ride is stiff and unforgiving. The suspension is firm, and even small bumps can be felt in the cabin. There is very little sound insulation, so road and engine noise can be intrusive.

Warranty coverage is limited, with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 2-year/24,000-mile powertrain warranty. Infotainment and connectivity options are sparse, with a basic audio system and limited connectivity features. The focus of the Exige lies in its thrilling driving experience rather than comprehensive creature comforts.
