...for those whom know about it. and only a few of you do, it is in my Townhouse garage.
Never will I drive my baby ever in the bad rain again..rear wheel slippage... Best 100 I spent in a home lottery ticket...

All about the feel
Source: Cars.com

...It's not a muscle car, and if you want to drag race there are faster cars for cheaper. What this car excels at is cornering. Horsepower isn't everything. The first time I tracked this car I had no trouble keeping up with a driver in a much higher HP mustang, who also had a lot more experience than me. He would pull away some on the straights, but by the end of each corner I'd be almost filling his rear view mirror. Hp is not everything.

It takes a lot of skill to drive a Lotus quickly on a track! My Elise is a 2005. It has been bulletproof reliable and gets driven 3000-4000miles per year with 5-12 track days being pushed very hard.

I owned a STi for 5 years and loved it but realized my driving skills weren't improving with the AWD...

Absolute Junk

..."The Elise is by a LONG way the worst car I've ever driven.
I've seen people say that it's a "hard-core" sports car....whatever.
It has the engine out of a lawnmower. Interior is a joke, just a plasticy rattle trap.
Also, the roof leaks and has virtually no suspension.
Riding a motorcycle would be quieter. A specialty dealer gave me an Elise with 1000 miles on it to drive for 5 days while considering a purchase....I brought it back after 12 hours."...
