We're talking country lane here... this is something I'm planning on actually testing soon, so I'd be interested to hear what you lot think.
Exige S or Impreza STi?
I reckon that the Exige would be quicker than the STi.

Exige for me
Minimising losses can maximise net gains
hmm, country lanes with dips and brows ?
The Impreza .... better visibility lets you see further on the vanishing point and hence drive the corners faster, safely.
hmmmm, "soon" means the roads will still be muddy/greasy from winter salting ...so ... Impreza again due to grip.
Sunny day with failry flattish, not huge hedges country lane and it's the Exige

Very good points. I drove the new S on those silly semi-slicks they put on them in the wet on a track and I was amazed by how much grip they offered. Very hairy on standing water though.
Visibility will be an issue with the Lotus - I guess we'll have to at least find a wide range of roads. I feel a trip to the Peaks coming on!
I still have a feeling that in a broad range of conditions the Exige would ultimately come out on top...

I would say the STI because of its all weather capability. Not to say that the Exige is slow though.
Weight wins: Exige > STI
Sure footedness of the STI for me. I love the exige, but AWD and decent bump/damp control = win

Isn't enjoyment more important than outright speed?
I'd personally choose the Lotus regardless of it being faster or slower.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
I think the Lotus would be a lot more exciting. By country lane you mean still paved right? Otherwise i think you'd be sorry for taking the Exige.
If the road is greasy then the Lotus will be an issue as it will require constant feathering of the throttle and tippy-toe driving.
In thos conditions the Scooby is much more "fun"

I would imagine the lotus would be very very expensive to maintain by the way. I think the STi would be more suited to you and it's still tonnes of fun. But then again depends what roads you drive on. If i had an Exige it would get only the best :P.
^ the lotus uses a toyota drivetrain. explain how that would be expensive to maintain, when even a porsche isn't
