Maintenance-upkeep and reliability are far better than my Boxster, somethings are a little more difficult to get to because you do have to remove the front and or rear clam to do maintenance which can be time-consuming.
Yes the fiberglass body is very fragile and can crack easily because the car has no bumpers and the Fiberglass is very thin to save weight.
I am able to drive the car a good six months out of the year but I have two sets of rims and tires,one for street use and the other for the track. The rims for the track are much lighter and I run R-compound tires.
If any of you ever get the opportunity to drive the Lotus Elise I strongly suggest you do so, you will either love it or hate it. The Boxster's handling is excellent that was one of the reasons I got a Boxster in the first place, the Elise is 10x better as far direct feel of driving goes.You can feel every imperfection and nuance in the surface of the road in which are driving,some people find this annoying I personally find it thoroughly enjoyable.
