That should help! I think it's mostly electrical issues with Lotus, isn't it?

Dare I say that is a "old wives tale" only applicable to British vehicles made pre '90s:chicken:

The Elise may have the least electrical content of any mass produced car today, so paired with it's Toyota engine & ECU, I would think it's very reliable.
