The M Coupe's are great cars but very different, they're soft and squishy, they love to be thrown around and have gobs of torque.
After test driving the Elise and getting back into my Coupe it felt like I was stepping into a big lumbering car - a huge contrast to the Elise and that's what sold me. That and the fact that I have gone around dozens of bends that would have left the Coupe on its roof in the ditch that the Elise just smiled at
I am sure that I will buy another one someday - they're just too good not to!
