What a great car. The true joy of driving returns with the new Elise. Colin Chapman's ghost would be ecstatic about this newest Lotus. Lithe, with spectacular handling, unbelievable weight to power ratio, beautiful sytling. And all for far less cost than either a Boxster or a Corvette. No wonder I remain an Anglofile!

I had no idea....this car is so much more fun than I thought. I have a very active lifestyle, and driving has always been something I just had to do - until now. Now I LOOK for reasons to. I love being first "in line" at the red light, so when it's time to go, I can red line it through the first couple few gears before I bring it to an acceptable and legal speed. :-) I get so many looks w/ this car. When I come back to my car after parking somewhere, inevitably there is more than one person crouched over looking at "my girl". (I've had people actually take pictures of her on several occasions, which one of you "Big Boys" can say that?) Good decision buying this girl, she's uniquely mine
Remember what it's for...

The Elise is a pure, unadulterated sports car. It does not try to be anything else. It is one of the fastest street legal cars, and handles arguably better than just about anything else on the road. It's form (all the vents are real and needed) is functional - you can like the look or not, but there is nothing extra, e.g. a big rear spoiler. That it manages to do this for under $50K is stunning. It does this by sacrificing weight (e.g size,gadgets, electronics, "comfort" stuff) and by designing to the best ergonomics once you are in it. My Elise puts a grin on my face every time I drive it, and feels as comfortable as a glove. Complaints about cupholders, ease of entry, etc. miss the point.
