Trying to get any background info from Elise drivers in general, as to what they think of their car. Possible purchase in a few months......

From what I've heard from owners, they are a whole heap of fun! Although it does take a good ten min. to fit the soft top. My view is dont bother, drive fast enough and the rain will not get in, anyway there arn't any carpets to get ewt in the origonal version!
Oh, and let your partner drive it! Last edited by Bluebottle; 2 Feb 2003 at 22:04. |

Ah yes, but you can get an optional clip on hard top that's apparently much easier than the stupid fabric roof.

I've seen one in the red/white/gold- very nice indeed. Also, the green/yellow suits the car very well

Not so keen on either yellow black or red and gold. the powder blue takes my vote, looks sooo much better with the smoked glass on the headlights. take a look at the following site.. http://www.lotuscars.com/pic1.jpg

The Green/ Yellow car is awesome, a neighbour of mine has one and I would definately pick that colour if I was buying one.
