I have an Elise , and it is literally stunning how much weight matters in a car. This car on paper looks weak but once you drive it its unbelievably fun ! I should make more videos of it too lol

it's difficult to describe and explain how incredible to drive this car really is. one has to drive the car to fully experience what a thrill it is. there is no other car that drives like the elise.

Planning on getting one. How's the maintenance on these car?

This is gold

Do you still own yours? I have a 2005 as well and love it. ❤️

Damn you guys are giving the guy a hard time but it doesn't matter because the stradman is a baller and everyone has to start somewhere. I mean just look at where he's at now? He went from this to reviewing and driving some of the most amazing cars in the world. Haters don't know and never will.

Sempre bellissima 😍

What's the maintenance or any cons with the car? How many miles do you have

Only 27 mpg on the highway? Is that at 100 mph? Some of the testing done in UK had the Elise doing more than 50 mpg - although that was with UK gallons, which are larger (4.5 litres compared with 3.8 for US)

"The aluminum engine block is derived from a Toyota Celica GT-S 2ZZ Engine." - On this model, the entire engine is Toyota 2ZZ. It has Lotus ECU. Later models were/are 1ZZ. Earlier are Rover K Series.

Where did you film this? It looks like Bend, Or

Still miss the Lotus Elise

You are the stradman, this is where you started, and now you have like 6 cars, each of which are from 30,000 - 400,000 cars

It'd be impossible for a manufacturer to ever build a car like this again. If you want a pure, analog driving experience -- this is it. Though I disagree with him I've taken mine to the grocery store many times.

Actually the compartment of the Elise could probably fit 2-3 small children, or a duffle bag or a rucksack, some medium suit cases et c so you could definitely do your groceries with it unless you're prepping for a party… Other than that sweet 🍬 ride 👍, small and impractical, but sweet, especially when you give no f's about anything but driving, performance and handling, definitely an off the beaten track choice for Americans 😊

How is it driving without power steering I'm looking into this car but I'm a little worried because it would be my first car without power steering and I know some people are gonna hate but I'm willing to take the criticism.

+MrJopa74 I have driven 45000 miles in my 2006 Elise. The steering is fine, a tad heavy when manouvering, but not a problem. The big advantage of manual steering is that the car talks to you through the wheel - you really can feel the grip. Also car is very light, and ~65% of the weight is on the back wheels so stearing loads are low

I bet he couldn’t even imagine having 1 lambo but he is over that now
