Overall rating 3.5/5Despite having been on sale for a considerable period, demand for the Lotus Elise has barely dented. For most enthusiasts it represents the holy grail of driver involvement, bringing excellent performance and a lightweight character that makes it into a very exciting car to drive in all types of scenarios. It’s a popular choice for those drivers who are looking to take to the track, as well.
When looking for a used Lotus Elise you are heading into an area which needs plenty of research. As a true performance car, the Elise needs proper servicing at regular intervals and really needs looking after in order to stay in tip-top shape. Likewise, you’ll need to factor this in - as well as the cost of replacing tyres and brakes - when shopping for your own Elise.
