It is - I've driven one flat out around the Silverstone circuit in England, and it is by far the best handling car I've ever driven. At 190hp, the engine feels a little underpowered but the handling more than makes up for it, and in the corners you'll outrun just about anything on the planet. If you're worried about fitting in - well, I'm 6' tall and had no problems once I was in (getting in is awkward with the roof on though).
Just don't expect to do your weekly grocery shopping in one though.
And ANYBODY who thinks an Elise is a "girl's car" in more interested in image than driving and should stick to blinging up Escalades and thinking old 'Vettes are sports cars.
