2006 Lotus Elise Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners rave about the 2006 Lotus Elise for its outstanding handling and thrilling performance. Many drivers love the fun and excitement it brings while driving, especially on track days. It's praised for being incredibly responsive and a blast to drive, especially with its high-revving engine. However, some drivers note that it's not practical for daily use and wish it had more horsepower."
The ultimate connection of man to machine. The most fun car I've ever owned. Make no mistake, this car is at home on the track. This is not a car to live with day to day. As a fun weekend or track car, nothing compares. This is as pure a modern driver's car as you will ever find, except for maybe an Ariel Atom.
September 19, 2008If you are a driving purest, you will never be disappointed with this car. From the, moment you get in, you know that you are in for a treat and huge thrill ride. The car does not disappoint. It handles better than most exotics and costs a thrid of what they cost. Its quick, responsive, and looks fantastic. The only thing a small car can always use is more horse power, they have done that in the new 2008 model, I guess Lotus was listening to their customers. Great job!!!
July 26, 2008A totally HOT car! What can I say - I've had it for 7 months, and the more I drive it, the more fun I have and the more I love it! It smokes! It looks so hot! It is incredibly responsive. It corners like it's on rails. The faster it goes, the tighter it hugs the road. It accelerates best around 7800 rpm, but that engine can take 10,000 (the governor cuts at 8200). Take the top off, hit the road, and you'll fall in love too! Oh yeah - it gets good gas mileage too. I've wanted a Lotus since I was a little girl - my dream car. You know what - I've got it, and it's even better than I dreamed!

March 26, 2008This car is in a class outside of other sports cars in its price category. The overall experience was awesome. It was fun to just rev the engine high dump the clutch and and heal toe on the down shifts.
