Lotus

Elise 2dr open

Price Range

£24,950 - £36,050

Autocar Rating

The Elise is all about the driver, and the level of indulgence it delivers to the lucky person behind the dinky steering wheel is out of all proportion to its price and power. Toyota engine provides the top-end excitement the old Rover lump always lacked. Steering is as pure as a mountain stream and probably better than that of any other sportscar.
