Hi all..
Wanna ask a few things bout the lotus elise.
Whats the current price on the market for new and used.
Preferably the S2 model.
Cant seem to find much info over the net. Not even in motortrader..haihz..
anyone has any expereince with lotus?
Wanna ask how is the maintainence also. Expensive?

O found a few S1 model about 100k, just wondering how much a used S2 would cost. I have a budget of about 150k. Wonder if the S2 would fall near those budget
and yes, i want the toyota VVTI engine for better parts and maintainence

Actually teachers do make a lot of money nowadays. Remember they work only half day. During the evening or at noght, most open private classes or tuitions, they can make a lot of money by doing this. No kidding.
They also have the free time to do side business some more. Dont underestimate people's wealth by just judging from their main occupation ler. Hardwork pays off no matter what job u do.

oh ok.. but i'll still to try to look for 1, if not i might just have to save some more

For the time being i got my eyes on the elise lol.
I test drove a friend's and felt COMPLETELY in love with the handling OMG.
Its sooo much fun to drive in! Havent tested the miata,its kinda rare also here. I need to get my hands on one to judge for myself
Still working with the goverment hospital so im not that high on the budget.
Hey even doctors need sometime off and have fun with his car right?

yea, ive done a lot of research on this car, and i could say that its one of the best sport car to own in malaysia. Im kinda in love with it actually.

The reason for that :
1) The Price. Even for the new one, the price is just superb! Even tho its specs on paper isnt as impresive as say a GTR or a Ferrari, but ive seen on videos,even on top gear where on track, given the high power to weight ratios, could easily catch up to cars 10 times as expensive on track!

2)For a sport car, The Fuel Consumption is AMAZING. 30 miles per gallon on highway, and one of my frens that owns this, well he actually uses it as a daily car , well he said if ur careful enough and drive smart enough u could get in the high 30s MPG. An FQ400 Misubishi EVO is 15 MPG on highway. Insane.

3) Handling. As most car reviewers said, its ONE OF THE BEST HANDLING CAR in the world. nuff said.

4)Maintainence - Most people claim its very cheap given the toyota engine. Still need to do some research on this

5)Good Reliability. Unlike most Continental cars.

6) Road Tax - LOL. Its a 1.8L sports car. What more could i say. Only beaten by Mazda RX-8 (but FC-wise, Elise pwnd rx8 kaw kaw)


Is there such a facelift? S1to S2? I know my friend converted his S2 into Exige!! Very Nice. If there are such facelift from S1- S2 plz inform me!!! S1 can easily be bought about 100k! With about 50k Mileage!
