Every drive is an event

Have recently purchased a 2007, and my goodness is it a riot. One of the cheapest mid engine cars you can buy (except the MR2) and a great way to experience the new handling characteristics that come with that. You will get looks constantly so be sure you aren't an introvert, and make sure they don't have to watch your gymnast act to get in and out of this car. With 43,000 miles on the clock and no engine issues reported, you can be assured the drive train is strong on this car, but anything else and you are going to have to expect it to go bad. Not for the faint of heart (no power steering or comforts at all) but once you fall into one of these, you will never want to get out.

Backs up its looks, AND it's affordable !!!!

Very few cars on the road can back up exotic good looks. The Elise does. Rewards any real driver with anticipating your next move. Not for the daily driver crowd, but perfect for the enthusiast who wants to reconnect with the road. And connect with the road you will. No imperfections go without notice, but they don't upset your drive. The Elise just lets you know they're there and stays planted. At the track, everyone wants to give it a go and feel the Lotus magic. As Colin Chapman said, this is a car to which they "add(ed) lightness". Not the fastest car out there, but always one of the quickest at the end of the lap. If you want pure exhilaration, look no further. If you want to be coddled, don't even think about the Elise. And, icing on the cake, it's affordable to buy and CHEAPER to maintain than anything else even close to this level of performance.
