As far as pure styling goes, I like the look of the Exige better.

One concern about a used car is how it was treated. Obviously, these cars are made to be driven hard. When I test drove the Elise, it really wanted to be driven hard.
The "base" Elise will knock your socks off.

It will kill a GTI.

Make sure it wasn't tracked, have a Lotus mechnic look at it...and BUY it.

Don't think twice.
