This Year's Model Updates:

After years of letting Europeans have all the fun, the lightweight Lotus Elise sports car finally makes it to the States.

Pros:
  • Ultralightweight chassis, free-revving four-cylinder, uninhibited steering, supercar performance without the supercar price.
Cons:
  • Spartan interior, engine still a bit peaky for U.S. tastes, ride quality more Formula One than grand touring, limited dealer network.

  • Fun toy but rain not allowed - 2005 Lotus Elise
    By -

    Great fun. BUT - rear tires last only 5000 miles, water in cabin when raining, VERY difficult to get in or out with top up. GREAT FUN on twisty roads, but every bump felt. Had to cut hole in undertray to repair muffler, no access from above. Summary - great go-kart in good weather.
