YES!

Despite all the problems, I love the car. I love the performance (esp. the handling), design and history/legacy behind the brand.

I don't think Lotus makes bad cars. I think I just got a one with one small problem we still haven't been able to fix.

After putting on the softtop on the car, I was super happy with it. Having a softtop, instead of the hardtop makes the car look completely different -- it's like having two cars!

The car goes into service again tomorrow. We are going to replace the entire wiring-harness this time. Hopefully that will fix all the problems.

Go Lotus!!!

I have three other cars, but the Lotus is my daily driver (My Daily Driver Blog).
