Saw an orange elise this moring on ridge. I followed him for alittle bit. Noticed that car is SMALL. Looks like my old CRX man puttin out that kinda money for a car thats small??? Anyone else have feelin on the size of that car?

yes its small.

i think it would be a blast to own. very few of them on the road and nearly untouchable handling.. ABSOLUTELY untouchable for the price

i love the looks as well. it looks like a car that should cost much more, aside from the physical size of it

I'd say it was me, but mine's red.

I agree, amazing car for the money, and people who don't know what it is think it's VERY expensive due to how it looks. If I could own any weekend warrior it'd be the Ariel Atom, then an Elise.

at a ClubWRX meet at Red Robin last summer, my friend brough his elise and gave me a ride in it--the car is REALLY small--and it has a really high sill, so you almost fall as you are getting into it. You almost have to brace yourself on the windshield and the seat headrest and swing your legs in. Here is a pic of it at the meet.

There's a silver one with 5-spoke gunmetal wheels, weird headlights that aren't like the US model ones, and an incredibly loud exhaust system that works at the detail center of a large car dealership group in Doylestown. I once chased him through traffic in my dad's Miata haha. There's also a red one running around the same area. They are such cool cars.
