The Lotus Elise is the ideal fair-weather weekend canyon runner and enthusiast track car. It is arguably the most agile, best driving sportscar in the world, a sports bike on four wheels. Nothing is faster or more rewarding from A to B, particularly if A to B is filled with dramatic curves. Outside its intended role, the Elise becomes far more compromised, being one of the more challenging vehicles in today's market to use as anything approaching normal transportation. This makes the Lotus Elise devilishly charming, consummately seductive, yet significantly flawed at the same time. Think carefully before deciding, as Elise is a choice that requires full commitment and is clearly not for the faint of heart.
