Advantages: Superb Looks, Superb Interior, Superb Drive
Disadvantages: Cost, Leg Room
I've just recently bought a Lotus Elise 1.8 and my word, what can I say?
Its Fantastic!
The roar of the engine is breathtaking and the immense RPM rate is amazing.
I just love to drive up to a nightclub in the car, revving the engine, and having everybody look in wonder.
The interior is beautiful craftmanship and is very comfortable - apart from the lack of leg room! But this is a small price to pay for such a good car.
The fact that the seats are low to the ground gives the car a fantastic centre of gravity so you can feel the speed you are driving.
The fact that it is a convertible is a definite advantage as if you havent driven along on a hot summers day with the top down and the wind in your face, you haven't lived!
Although, another disadvantage of the car, is it's price. With it being between £12,500 and £18,000 you have to save your pocket money up a bit! Either that or take out a loan like I did.
But this amount of money is well worth the brilliance of this fantastic car.
I recommend it to all - except kids who cant drive!

- 31/10/01 Hmm, unreliable K series engine, poor, leaky roof... need I go on? Your review sounds biased, just thought that I would even it up. The car is superb to drive, I admit - I nearly s**t myself when I took one for a test drive, but just like women, they are a pain in the a**e to live with! |

- 17/10/01 Yeh lots more detail. And you won't think it so fantastic when you have to pay the reapir bills, particularly fopr the susepct suspension.
All that glitters ... |

- 17/10/01 Some actual details about the car would be good, such as performance figures, equipment details (such as radio, air con, PAS, alarm, etc.) Well written just not enough details. |
