I own an elise, and I can't recommend it highly enough if you really love driving. It's hard to get into, but plenty big inside; I'm 6' 1" and don't even have to put the driver's seat all the way back, and with either the soft or hardtop on, there's plenty of room to wear a helmet.

It's an absolute blast to drive, much closer to a shifter kart than it is to any other car I've driven. It's faster than it feels; 4.4s 0-60 is pretty reasonable, and once you get to the higher end valve timing at 6200rpm, it's got quite a kick. And going around corners, well, it feels like a kart.

However, if you want a GT type car that's comforatble for long trips, has a killer stero, has cupholders and amenities like a glove compartment or power mirrors, this isn't the car for you.

Cheers
