What does everyone think of this one?
I have loved the elise since day 1 and loved it even more after driving and hearing it. Had my husband not found the M on swapalease.com when he did I would be driving a lotus now. I was lurking around on the motorcars of georgia website today and saw this one. My husband absolutely hates it, but I kind of like it. What do you all think?? I prefer the elise in white or charcoal but hmmmm black is always nice. Please don't tell my car that I have been looking at or even thinking of another car, she would get jealous.

Re: What does everyone think of this one?
Doesn't look like the seats would hold you in worth a flip, got too much going on on the outside and the gold rims look a bit ghetto... I don't like the interior either. But if you love it, that 's all that matters. Go for it ! Opinions are too subjective to go on, go with what makes you happy

From what I understand, the seating does not accomodate taller people very well and the interior is a bit cramped. Love the looks of the Elise, but for the money, I would rather have my //M.

Great weekend track car. Light weight, fast, fun to drive but a little short on creature comfort many claim...

It would look very mean without the gold rims which cheapen the car.

Re: What does everyone think of this one?
There's no denying the fun factor of the Lotus; incredible handling and brakes, quite fast, all that good stuff but I have to say I think they are one of the worst looking automobiles of the last 10 years or so. I saw quite a few of them before I realized they weren't homebuilt kit cars. It's just butt ugly. I don't think Colin Chapman would have signed off on the styling.

Re: What does everyone think of this one?
I was seriously considering this car instead of the Z4. But I needed something more comfortable than what it had to offer if it were to by my daily. I had read many reviews from drivers complaining about the non-adjustable seating position and some other things as well. I ended up passing on it and going for the Z4.

I love the car but not crazy about the gold accents.
It's my wife's favorite car! She likes it in RED.

Re: What does everyone think of this one?
I like them. Especially the orange ones.
I thought about one before the Z4, but there are no luxuries in the car at all.. well, I think they added AC a couple years ago, I guess that counts as a luxury. The targa roof also seems like it could be a pain.
