I have tried a few times to get in an elise / exige but being 6ft2 I cant steer it without hitting my knees... so i have given up wanting to own one....
Fantastic cars though
I love Elise / Exiges, they feel like a perfect fit but I am only 5ft 8
And that's in your Cuban Heels!!!!
What are you lot on about, I'm 6'4", and my Elise S1 111s of 7 years was a perfect fit.
Had no trouble getting in or out either, roof on or off
I had a Supercharged 2.2 VX220, and that thing was incredible, with 'only' 240hp. Rode beautifully, and once you have changed the seats, was perfect for me, and im 6ft 2. Incredibly comfortable on a long run.
Weighed it with half a tank of fuel at 880kg, to say it went like a stabbed rat, is selling it short.
I think that lotus looks great. What I cant understand is why its classed as 'race / track ready' for road use - and certainly not cheap (the 430GT ones are 100+ new), and yet the 'soft' ferrari which every slags off is quicker. I know the list price of a cali T is more - but used ones can be had at 100-105 now.Snap. My brother has a ridiculously quick Lotus.
