Used 2004 Lotus Esprit Consumer Reviews
The Best of The Best
amzing, this car dominates evryone, it is the best vehicle anyone could hope for. If only someone around here could give my car a work out.
Musclecar in Exotic Clothing
Only 33 2003.5-2004 Final Edition Lotus Esprits were made and shipped to the United States. Equipped with a turbocharged 32-valve flat-plane crankshaft V8, they start, idle and sound very much like a '60's era musclecar with a hot cam. Exhaust note is very good from a low grumble at idle to a roar under acceleration. There is almost no turbo lag, tons of torque above 2000 rpm allowing the Esprit to easily burn rubber in its first 3 gears. Steering is very, very fast and precise - plus the turning radius is exceptionally tight. Cockpit space is adequate for those under 6 feet and trunk space is surprisingly generous. Handling is outstanding, as in all Lotuses. Front spoiler seeks bumps.
Outdated
Esprits are sorely in need of a redesign. Their old design can barely keep up with cars half there price, let alone the cars in it's price range.
