wludavid, you must have time to waste to read their reviews:D , but you have demonstrated the "CR way" following in the footsteps of Nader. Can't have a car that might require people to know how to drive, need cars that the operator only has to push on some pedals (the fewer the better) and turn the wheel some.

A few years ago, I was overtaken in southern Scotland by an Elise. When we got to Jedburgh, there it was, in a lay-by, while the driver was having a moment to stretch. The guy must have been 6'4". He didn't even open the door to get back in, just stepped over it onto the seat and slid down like he was shoe-horning himself into a formula car. We pulled out before he did & it was a pleasure to watch it work through the traffic on the way north.
I am 6'3" and have no trouble at all with the old E (sunroof & Recaros)

Lotus...

Trouble,

Serious.

That about sums up my buddies experience in his Espirit (or some poof name like that).

A good Hurricane wind would blow that car off the road.....

I'm 6'5" and weigh.....ahhhh alot and I fit well in the pre 73 911's.

Ohhh the car does tend to have a list to port though....

LOL that's good! friend of mine had an Espirit and it needed a gearbox by 30K. Turns out the bearings were all French...nuff said. A total POS.

Although I agree Lotus are not the most reliable car on the market, this guy clearly doesn't get the lightweight sportscar ethic behind the Elise (or any other Lotus) and dare I say Porsche?
