2006 Lotus Elise

by Biff9287 on 11-10-2015
Driving my Elise for 6 years now
This thing is a street-legal go-kart. It is high-revving (8500rpm) 4-cylinder with extra power coming on the second cam around 6000rpm. What other car can do 0-100km/h in less than 5 seconds and still get amazing fuel economy? My best was a run up to a friend's cottage - 6.7 l/100km (43mpg).

The handling and responsiveness is not like any other car you will ever drive. It weighs a thousand lbs LESS than just about any other sports car on the road. That let's you stop, turn, and react to everything faster.

It's performance limits are so high, you really need to take it to a track to fully appreciate it. Not a drag strip, a track! This car lives for curves and winding roads. I speed up on the off ramps!

It is surprisingly comfortable! I've driven 3+ hours at a time and it's not too bad. The seats are excellent. What I would recommend, though, is earplugs. Being a convertible, the wind noise really gets to you after being on the highway for a while. Even with the soft-top or hard-top, it is still a loud car to be in.
