I would like to get a Lotus Exige; although I wonder if I would fit in it; I keep on whacking my head on the door frame on getting in and out of my Chevy Cavalier and my knees hit the steering wheel when moving from the accelerator to the brake, I even managed to turn off the ignition while driving the other day... 
You get used to it. My partner is 6ft and it took him a while as there is a knack to it. Personally, I also think the S2s are easier to get in/out of than the S1s because of the door sills. Also, you can take the roof off Exiges if you really want to.
Have you driven one yet? I think you'd probably be surprised the amount of legroom in the car once you've levered yourself in

I miss my Exige like mad - I was actually down at my local Lotus dealer a couple of weeks ago drooling over their Exiges
