Default Me Itty Britty Lotus

Even though I'm selling it soon, this is THE most fun car I've ever owned. And I've owned some good ones.

It truly spoils you for every single car out there. Nothing is as pure, communicative, raw and connected to drive.

Why am I selling? Not enough time to drive it and the only good dealer in the area shut down = no warranty service.

I could see getting another someday. Or the new Evora.

Next car will be a Cayman S.

The NSX feels like a boat compared to the Elise. images/smilies/smile.gif

Well, they all do.

Warning: don't ever test drive an Elise or Exige if you are a true sports car person and cannot buy one. It will haunt you.

That's a lovely colour, pity you've got to sell it! Maybe you can get a Evora which no doubt will be awesome!

Even tough I never even SEEN an Elise/Exige, I always had the feeling this would occur...images/smilies/lol.gif

I lust after your car more than most Ferraris, Porsches, etc...too bad they aren't sold in Brazil.

I hope so! If not, I may see an Exige S240 in my future.

I love the color too, but it's like pavement camouflage. Not a good thing with such a tiny car. If I get another it'll definitely be red or yellow.

Am hoping Lotus opens up another good dealership in the area. I'm sure they will, the one that closed was the highest volume dealer in the country. Its closing was totally unrelated to Lotus. They had some bad luck in other areas (legal, bad flood, etc).

You're selling it? Dammit, the forum just lost a little bit of cool.

I can only imagine how brilliant it must be to drive - my MK1 MR2 gave me a little inkling of an idea of how much fun a communicative kart-like car can be.

It really is a very cool car to drive isn't it?
I once had the luck to try one out and gotta say it's brilliant.
I would keep it for sure if I was you. Even if I could only drive it one time in a month or so images/smilies/smile.gif

NOT A COCKSTER! Either save a little more and get a 911 or spend a little less and get a Boxster S.
