Elise Pro's
  • It feels much quicker than the Boxster, even 30 mph can feel fun
  • Looks stunning
  • Cheaper to maintain
  • Its a no frills drivers car
Elise Cons
  • Has little to offer past 70 mph
  • Very woman unfriendly to get in/out of due to side chassis strut
  • It's a rough ride
  • Its more like a go kart in a posh jacket
  • Not great on motorways, very noisy.
Personally I would still get an Elise as it just looks like a mad fun car but after a year or so I might start missing the more luxury drive offered by the Boxster.

It's the closest thing to driving my formula ford I've ever sat in.
