 Lotus Elise - Practicality 2.5/5
Lotus Elise
Lotus Elise
The Elise is an expensive purchase and fuel and running costs are likely to be high as well. Insurance will be high too and good coverage will be necessary if taking onto the track.

The Lotus Elise is not big on space. Passengers have ample room to ride but that is about it. The car was not designed to be a cargo carrier or people carrier. It was designed for speed and delivering a good driving experience.

The Elise’s controls and dials are functional and sturdy. They appear to be of a good quality and feel. The cabin looks the part of a sports car and delivers an excellent and sporty atmosphere.

The Elise delivers a decent amount of comfort. This isn’t a luxury car by any means, but the seats are supportive and comfortable for the most part.

Accessibility is one area where the Elise scores low, very low. Passengers must climb down into the seats and then limited cabin space means twisting and turning to fit into the seats. Once in though, the seats are comfortable. Egressing requires the same amount of effort only backwards.

Parking the Lotus Elise can be difficult mostly due to the low seating position. The low drive position limits visibility and can make parking a little difficult. It is also difficult to judge the car’s extremities and care should be taken when parking.
