Handling; performance; fun
CONS
Fiddly hood
The diminutive Elise is a sensational back-to-basics road racer, providing all-round thrills and really looking the part. A classic in its own time, the magnificently sculpted bonnet and side panels look fantastic – as well as having their aero-dynamic purposes – and due to the Elise’s timeless styling and raw, exhilarating performance there are few rivals to the throne.
