On the S1 the seats are very thin and firm, primarily to save weight.
When your enjoying the drive on a long, winding road the car is heaven. You don't hear the noise, miss the radio (since you can't really hear it anyway), worry about your bottom or think about the various weird noises the car always seems to be making. Its just you and the feel of the road.
But cruising down the freeway the car can't strut it's stuff and at least in an S1, the noise, hard seat and whatever else rapidly becomes old. Half and hour and you wonder why you just didn't take your other car.
Solution is you do. I think the Elise is best as a car for when you are more interested in the drive than the destination. Or for when the destination is a place you are looking to look good and you don't mind a bit of discomfort to get there.
We have a 95 BMW 5 Series, a 91 3 Series IX and the S1 Elise. Works great.
