Lotus Elise (96-00)

0-60mph quicker than 95% of cars on the road for less than £15,000... need I say more?

Costs

Rover K-series engine ok, but Lotus parts can be expensive.

Awesome. Handles better than any other road-going car.

Reliability

3 out of 5

Ok, but due to no sound proofing between you and the engine you hear every knock and grind of the engine.
