Purple lotus - 2001 Lotus Esprit
By icccceeeee - August 6 - 1:26 amThis is my 2nd Esprit, I LOVE these cars, a blast to drive and own ... but you have to WANT to drive them. They are not for the meek or shy. Maintenance is a must but is not close to other exotic cars.

Esprit V8 is a winner - 2001 Lotus Esprit
By Dirk989 - January 9 - 10:00 amWhile not a well know marque, Lotus has produced one of the top supercars in the world. Handling has been described as the greatest ever. I dont disagree. Performance is unbelievable, especially with a few reasonably priced mods. This car will glue you to your seat and handle curves at speeds previously reserved for video games. The styling is not as outrageous as otherrs, but this is a car that looks much better in person than in print. Beautiful, exotic, good fuel mileage, unbelievable performance and handling for a fair price. The only flaw is that the interior, while very well made, is that of a typical British car - small and tight.

An Owners Review: 2003 Lotus Esprit V8 - 2001 Lotus Esprit
By Owner of 2003 Esprit - February 24 - 10:00 amFrightening fast car, difficult to drive slow. Dont mean b/c u "want" to drive it fast, I mean b/c IT wants to drive fast. The gas pedal is either on or off, as is clutch. Brakes similar, risk a face plant if not careful to go gentle on pedal. Not easy to drive, but has its rewards. Downsides: (there are several), forget about getting it if you are shy, everyone WILL react to it, sometimes positively, sometimes not. This leads to things that weigh on your mind. As in, can I just park this car anywhere?(ans: no). Do I need to plan my trips? (ans: yes). The car nose is unbeleivably low. Remember this is not a Porsche911, it is a supercar.
