Economy
Value
Worth every penny. Puts a smile on your face every time you drive it.
Costs
Expensive if you use main dealers. A few independents out there now who are cheaper, but who work to high standards. Only difference is you won't get a Lotus stamp in your log book!

Not the most comfortable car in the world, but if you're bothered about that you wouldn't be considering buying one in the first place!

Security and Service
Security
As secure as any convertable, most have alarms and immobiliser. Hardtop improves security. Get a tracker fitted too.
Service
Main dealers good but pricey. Just get advice about which dealer to use.
