Elise 111S 2dr
Review
wibble, South East
Pros:
Possibly the best handling road car in the world.
0-60 in five seconds is perfectly adequate.
40mpg under normal driving conditions, never below 35mpg.
Tax group D - 120 quid a year
Completely waterproof with either hardtop or softtop.
Surprisingly comfortable ride.
Cons:
Undignified to get in and out of.
A bit of a handful in the wet.
Trim quality isn't great.
Can't take the roof down from inside the car.
Comments:
I can't think of any car I'd rather have as a daily driver. The S2 111S is quick (0-60 in five seconds); handles like nothing else on the road; returns over 35mpg, even with "spirited" driving; and looks fabulous.
If you don't need a big boot or more than two seats, it's the best sports car in the world.
