its really hard to imagine a modern full bodied car getting close to 2k lbs. If you ever probe around an elise you realize how little car is actually there. Like someone said an MR-S is pretty bare bones and tiny car with a similar drive train. It is at least 200 pounds heavier with much smaller tires and brakes.
There are a couple minor issues that can come up but they are within the scope of a diy'r. Neither my elise or my exige has ever had any real issues. The worst thing I had was I had to replace the AC resistor pack in the elise, which is a terrible awful job. My exige has had exactly zero issues but I have adressed a few small common issues before the had a chance to manifest. For example I replaced the plastic end cap radiator with an all aluminium one. The old one was fine though.
Remember that an entire new engine can be bought for like 2k from toyota. Just don't hit anything and you will be fine. A new set of tires is 500$ and brake pads last a long time.
