Fun to drive, but hard to get into the car even with my height 5'7". Second day after I purchased the car, had a fuse blow up and electrical problem occur so very disappointed with all the excitement only to last one day.

Almost Perfect

Do not buy this car if you are looking for comfort. The Elise is a purpose built machine. The purpose is sublime handling, which is evident on any backroad or cloverleaf. This handling could not have been achieved if the car were packed with (heavy) luxury features. The seats have no padding and getting in/out of the car requires advanced yoga training. You should only buy an Elise when performance is the ONLY thing that is important to you. I love my Elise.
