Pros: What do you like about 2005 Lotus Elise?
All aspects of this vehicle remind me of the go-carts we rode in Italy...astounding handling but a shell that is mouth-watering.
Turbo charge it and make 300 plus HP and all the bases are covered for a mind blowing ride... Watch out Corvettes when you look in the mirror... This is the little boy that can and is no Cobalt either like in the commercials.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Lotus Elise?
Gotta get some base in that system... Need my tunes... Somebody help me...Fast Eddie

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Lotus Elise?
Looks, handling, brakes, acelleration. Pretty much everything you would want in a real sports car.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Lotus Elise?
A/C could be a little better. Sound deadening could be improved. Power is great, but more (supercharger) would be even better.
2005 Lotus Elise Review:
If you really want a car that does everything a sports car should do the Elise is about as good as it gets.
