This car will be used as a daily driver. Both cars will be bought new. Following are the Pros and Cons.
Elise SC
Pros
-More exotic looking
-Faster to 60
-Removable top
-Unreal handling
-Boatloads of fun to drive
Cons
-Worrying about scraping the clam
-I live in the hills of CT = Snow
-50K vs 45K
-Insurance slightly higher (much higher with a claim I believe)
-Reliability (would like to put close to 100k on it)
-Tire costs
-Don't know if I am up to fixing a lot of little things...
Audi TTS
Pros
-Good looks (love the LED headlights)
-Fast
-AWD
-Room for a set of clubs
-Great interior
-More reliability
-Cheaper (45k vs. 50K)
-Cheaper insurance
Cons
-Not as fast as the Elise 0-60
-Not as good looking
-Coupe
The Audi dealer is in the same building as the Lotus dealer, so the dealership is just as close. This is a tough decision...
