Popular Models
Elise:
The Elise looks like something out of this world; its intimidating exterior commands attention. This sleek car is powered by a 1.8 liter inline 4-cylinder engine, giving it 190 horsepower. Kevin Smith of Motor Trend, www.motortrend.com, says that the interior of the Elise is quite small. He reports that some drivers may find themselves rubbing elbows with their passengers. However, this smaller interior is worthwhile considering that the car is extremely light and maneuverable.
Some other benefits listed by those at Edmunds, www.edmunds.com, include incredible steering capabilities and affordability when compared with other sports cars in this class. A few include peaky engine styling and a ride which'resembles Formula One style more than Grand Touring style.'
