Not to argue, but the S1 Elise was known for its "twitchy" rear end. To say that the car doesn't want to spin is not accurate - it does want to spin if you get near it's limits - maybe you weren't at or near the limit? Or maybe you are a better driver than most? Knowing what a car is doing is the key and the Elise/Exige are one of the best for telling you what is happening - it's up to the driver to hear what it is saying and reacting correctly.
The Exige helped some of these traits with wider wheels/tires and the benefit of real downforce. The S2 Elise is supposed to be much more "tame" at the limit than the S1. Many suspension revisions were made to achieve this.
To tell someone with no mid-engine experience that the Elise doesn't want to spin is asking for trouble. All it takes is one lift in a corner to do it or tapping the brakes mid-corner.
