Yeah, I have been on elisetalk for about a month now. It was driving me crazy not having one. I made the mistake of test driving one last weekend. It was all over at that point.....100% sold on it... :D

:D :D :D :D :D I blows it away. An unmodified turbo will be lunch, even in the straights. And, and unmodified MR2 spyder will be easy lunch in the twisties. The road feel is amazing! No power steering, and a feeling like you are litterally glued to the road.
That is my assesment from my short drive home. :D

The Lotus will be my daily driver for about 8 months out of the year. I will be getting a cheap beater for the winter months. Although I will only be driving it half of the week, as my wife and I car pool to work....we can take her car when its raining.... :D

Elise = Street legal Race Car
It is about as close as you can get and still be street legal. The feel is amazing. Seriously, drive one and it will answer all you questions.

Very nice car man. I would like to hear how the engine and road noise is after a few months. For me it is a little too pure of a sports car to live with but, it is still nice to look at and admire.
