Anyone have/had a Lotus Esprit?
I've always been intrigued by the Esprit. I thought the 4-banger turbo was so cool because it was unique in the auto world.

...and 4 cylinders! Just completely unconventional and wacky. Plus it wasn't from Italy like most other high-dollar exotics. So cool.
Eventually they kind of messed it up, IMO. They dropped in a big V8, and kept adding to the bodywork to (presumably) make it more ferocious looking - ruining the simple good looks of the earlier versions.
Anyway, anyone have one? Anyone drive one? If so, what do you think of it? Are they especially repair-prone? What's the upkeep like?
