Lotus Elise (96-00)

Value

4 out of 5

Great piece of machinery for the price.

Costs

4 out of 5

Parts are not cheap, but servicing can be reasonable at non franchise specialist.

Driving

5 out of 5

Permanent grin says it all.

Performance

4 out of 5

Runs out of puff at 100mph, quick up to that. Nimble on track use too. Brakes are strong.

Reliability

4 out of 5

Only fix so far is to change dampers.

Still turns heads.

Comfort

3 out of 5

This is not high on priority list for Lotus drivers. Buy another car for that.
