Car reviews

The Europa adds a touch more comfort and usability to the Lotus sportscar concept for those who find an Elise or Exige too compromised. It's a bit bigger, has a few more items of luxury equipment and its turbocharged engine is slightly more relaxed in its power delivery. It works, in as much as it is more useable than anything else Lotus makes, but it is still a very focused driver's car and still forces its occupants to make sacrifices. You could theoretically own it as your only car, but only if you place your enjoyment of driving above all other requirements and want to experience driving in its purest form.
