Lotus Elise
I've always been such a big fan, I love this thing! I've seen a few on carsales popping up, 2002 models with 60-70k for 40-45k etc so price has gone down enough to even consider getting this as my next car (not for a year or 2 though, not ready to give up my FTO just yet!)
I wonder if it can be used as a daily driver.. more than likely I'll keep my FTO and if I do go ahead and get one, will use it as a weekend car
SEEEXX on wheels, especially the hardtop (waaay out of budget lol)

Re: Lotus Elise
Yeah i am a fan of these aswell,but i would never consider using it as a daily,no stereo,no ac,stiff ride,a pain to get in and out of and apparently really noisy too.Would make a good weekender though.

Re: Lotus Elise
1.8litre NA, so yeah fuel efficient it is. Pre/post-2004 came with different engines (rover-k vs toyota 1zz). The latter ones @ 190bhp stock.
Wanna test drive? Try a go-cart.
Ohh, my favourite color.
Would love the limited ones that came supercharged producing 240bhp.
0-100kmh 3.9sec ; who needs a ferrrari

Re: Lotus Elise
Yea true would be a bitch as daily. It's so fkn sex though *drools*
I'll prolli never get one honestly just for a weekend car, but was feeling extremely horny at the time I made this post.
Plus I think its small skinny people to drive around in
What does everyone think of the 2011 one? It looks nice, the look of it is very "up and coming" for the new decade, hasn't quite sunk on me yet.

Re: Lotus Elise
I'm hoping someone will photoshop real birds (seagulls, a crow maybe) onto AJ's car
