Griffmeister83's review of Lotus Elise 1.8i

“Really does live up to the dream!!”

★★★★★

written by Griffmeister83 on 22/08/2012

As a child I had dreams about owning one of these and eventually took the plunge 3 years ago....do I regret it? Not at all!!

The car has been reliable (certainly more reliable than the Volvo we also own) and gets plenty of admiring looks.

When driving it certainly illustrates just how inert/dull other cars are - true it's not that fast but if speed is all you are after then I'm afraid you have well and truly missed the point of this car....it's the way it drives, not how fast it goes. You don't drive an Elise, you wear one....it's that connected to you; you drive by telepathy and the driving experience makes you tingle. It makes the MX5, Z3/4, S2000 et al all feel overweight and over complicated!

Future classic.....without a doubt!
