Review 16 April 2010

The new Lotus Elise has seen most of its modifications made under the hood with the 1.8 litre engine being replaced by a 1.6 litre unit.

The Elise now gives 45 mpg and only produces 141g of carbon per km

Matt Prior finds out if the engine has had a detrimental impact on the car's performance.
