Crib notes:
It took 400 meters for the writer to love it.... as with the other reviews, just a few minor irritations; mainly the nav system, poor rear view and windshield reflections and a few squeeks and rattles that Lotus already knows about for the production cars. Basically its as "involving as an Elise with the refinement of a Porsche" In their view the car sets the benchmark for power assisting steering feel and handling.

As for the group test it has a better ride, steering and handling than the m3 or 911 whereas the germans interiors are more "polished" than the brit.
