Lotus Elise Race Tech 2d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
On the road
Driving
Street legal go-kart.
Performance
Lack of top speed is not an issue. MX5"s could beat me whilst running in (limited to 60mph) but the tables are turned when bends and roundabouts come into play.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems in first three months of ownership.
Image
Based on yells of "Nice car mate" and "Phoaar", pretty good.
Comfort
Better than the old one, but hardly the lap of luxury.
-
Security and Service
Service
Subject to significant delays. Not helped by exceptionally poor service from the garage. If I buy another Lotus (possible), it will not be from the same dealer.
