2005 Lotus Elise Base review

Very reliable and very fast!

The Lotus Elise is a true sports car and that is all the company makes. This car is surprisingly comfortable even for tall drivers. Handling and acceleration are great for road or track and the unique styling of the Elise will set you apart from all the others.

2005 Lotus Elise Base review

Beautiful, sporty and reliable.

There is a reason these cars have had such low percentages of depreciation. A Toyota drivetrain for reliability along with stunning good looks and the kind of performance typically reserved for cars with way many more zeros attached to the price tag. The only price to pay is that the car has spartan creature comforts, but if that is the most important thing to you, let's be honest, this shouldn't be on the radar for you. Bang for buck, can't beat it with a Lotus Elise.

2005 Lotus Elise review

The type of car that requires dedication

This car is definitely not the most comfortable or practical car, so if you are looking to buy that you need to undersatand you will have to make some compromise. It is an exotic car and there are always people looking at it and you and often I found myself talking to complete strangers about it. Overall I enjoyed my experience with the care but as I said it isn?t perfect especially for daily commutes.

Mike Shaw Subaru review

Great service and updates throughout the whole service

Great service and updates throughout the whole service job. They also take a video of my vehicle while doing their inspection and send it to me. Very efficient and professional

2005 Lotus Elise Base review

The most fun car for the money, hands down.

Had a great experience with Brooklyn Auto Sales, Denzel

Had a great experience with Brooklyn Auto Sales, Denzel was my main contact person, he was there every minute of the transaction from beginning to after the delivery of my C8 3LT Corvette.

2005 Lotus Elise Roadster review

Most fun car I have ever driven.

I'd give it five stars if it had a little more seat comfort. Might have to look into some padded covers. This car is not for everyone, just folks who REALLY love to drive.
