Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
I agree...Elise and Exige are ONLY for the track and an occasional weekend drive..I had one of the first ones...and got rid of it because it was AWFUL on the street. I don't track.

I wouldn't worry about reliability as these cars are Toyota driven. The problems with these cars have been nitpicky issues such as water entering the rear trunk,headlight covers that burn,the amount of damage done by flying rocks, and the crappy ergonomics. Again...this car is ONLY for the track.


On subject...I always took the position of "life is short, drive everything you can!"...but...I have actually fallen in love with the Boxster. I keep looking at other Boxes to buy and then I look into the garage and my 2000S just says "keep me"! I cant dump her!

that's too bad about the elise....I actually think it looks kinda of cool.....especially the red CJ posted, altho it reminds me of the photoshopped ferrari dino that was posted a little bit ago.....I can't dig on that MG thing.....looks pretty bland.....is it the same company that used to make those tiny little roadsters? now those were pretty cool.....

The elise will be my daily driver. I agree, it's ANNOYING as hell to get into and out of, not to mention embarrassing, and it's very difficult to see traffic lights w/ the top on, but there's nothing else like it. I mean there is, but at very high prices.


The elise and exige is one of a kind. That's why I've fallen in love w/ them.


And I love my sexster also, but if insurance wasn't an issue RIGHT NOW, I'd be all over the elise.
