Thanks for the post. Very useful!!!
I am currently killing my Audi RS4 with over 27K a year (i took a 25k a year lease and I'm buying it since I'm going to go way over). I am planning on getting an Elise in the next 12 months and splitting my driving between the two to lighten the mileage on both.
It sounds like other then little things (bad ECU, etc),the dealer finally staightened it all out. To me it sounds like the biggest issue using it as a DD is the tire consumption. I got 25K out of my first set of Pirelli's on my RS4 and I was wailing on it when I first got it. Is the 7.5K consumption rate typical of all tires on this car, or is it a Yokohama issue... Could I compromise slightly on performance and use F1 Goodyears or Michellin to gain more life out of each set?
Any reliability issues yet? Any towing or debillitating stalls?
Thanks for the detail and attention to this blog.
