  • What do you think about this car?

    http://66.139.73.25/lotus.html

    I'm thinking this will be my next car purchase.
    Only a 190hp, but it runs 13's stock, and weighs less than 2000lbs!!

      Lotus cars are SWEET! excellant handling, acceleration, etc. I hear they are coming to the states for around $40k :eek:

        Never been a fan of the Elise...the Esprit I used to love. There was a guy down the block from my last house who had one. I have seen one in the paper with 58K miles and it was only $19K.

                There's a Lotus dealership in SoCal and my Criminal Justice Professor (former FBI agent) has a red one. Looks and sounds awesome.

                    The elise has been out for some time, but this one with the reworked GT-S engine was announced more recently.

                    When I get finances in Order I'm buying a 89 Lotus Esprit Turbo. :D

                      Very cute little cars. I was told by our local dealership that will be handling them that next year they will be much more available. There is a limited run of them this year. They are also supposed to have a turbo-charged version next year too.

                      Too bad the car would last about 3 days with the roads around here.

                        A friend of mine drove one when he went over to Europe, he said it was like driving a hot wheels car. Insanely uncomfortable, cramped beyond belief, etc. Handled well and was really fast, though.

                        Lets not forget what makes it 1400 pounds lighter. No AC, no heat, no sound system, etc.

                          Oh man!.... An Elise? Mate?!

                          I wouldn’t bother.

                          Pros:
                          Very light
                          Acceleration
                          MPG
                          Radical looks? (Well, maybe there, they're more common that Coke cans here)
                          Handling
                          Wont Rust (Aluminium Chasis,Fibre glass body, no welding....its been glued together!)


                          Cons:
                          NIGHTMARE GETTING IN & OUT! (I know, been there!)
                          Very noisy, the intake in 20cm from the back of your head. Annoyed the hell out of me! We're not talking the Noise you associate with your cars, deep, burble and gruntish, this is a constant irritating NOISE!
                          No Stereo
                          No Air Con
                          No Nothing (it doesn’t even have carpets).....Its a bare as can get engine + 4 wheels...They may have some kudos in the states, but here, they dont get much rep.

                          There’s better cars for the money! Trust me, we have more choice here and you could do much better! [img]smile.gif[/img]

                          Just my 2cents worth

                          (Want speed, looks, luxury and individuality?&gt;....TVR!!!......Trust me! Floor it and you’ll have a face lift in seconds!
