I'm thinking of trading the car in for a Lotus too... Even though it's very impractical, it would suit me for now since I don't have kids (yet)... and most of the time (90%) of my drive is by myself. Might as well get something flashier and with zippy power for about the same price.

Or I could just splurge and get a Cayman.. hmm.

if you use it as a daily car, you'd better watch your back......it's gonna hurt in no time.....

The impracticality of the Elise isn't just due to the fact that's it's a two seater. That's the last car you'd want as a daily driver. Have you ever sat in one? It's so tight and you sit on the ground basically.

And any cargo better fit in the passenger's seat or you are SOL. I barely fit in an Elise. I'd love to have one, but so completely impractical for anything but track days.
