I am 6 foot tall and not real skinny. I drove the Tesla version of the Elise. It was a real effort to wear the car. It was not sitting in it, it was like putting on clothes that are a size too small.

My 85 911 is a roomy giant car in comparison, and a bit heavy pig. The Tesla version was a blast. It was like having the first gear in a 911 Turbo and a 40,000 RPM redline. Just floor it and go and no shifting until you are are stupid speed. (Much like a early 911 Turbo with a 4 speed)

The Lotus would be a fun toy if you are young and limber and a 150 pound guy like F1 drivers. For an old fat dude, no way. It is a cool car however.
