Would you trade your G35 for a lotus Elise ?

Hi guys,

I'm starting to get the itch and was wondering your thoughts on switching to a poor mans exotic (elise) ?

I've been running an auto since i purchased my 2005 and am bored to death. I drive 5-6k a year and my height is 5'10.

what are your thoughts ?

thanks

ppp

nope, not a chance in the world, unless you only use your g35 for track use.

That thing is going to kick your butt if you drove it everyday to work or in traffic. Think twice before you pull the trigger on that. I would only get it if was strickly for track use. Goodluck with your choice.

I really love that Lotus, especially the exige...but its just not an everday driver. Zero creature comforts and zero practicality. If I bought one it would be purely a weekend driver/track car - maybe 200-250 miles a month tops.

I think you would definately regret trading the G for an Elise as an everday driver. I say NAY.

Kinda looks like a "Hot-Wheels" toy car to me.

I would not get it over my G35

Good luck anyway you go though
