I recently sold my Elise and realize already that I miss it! Rather than buy another Elise, I have been thinking that I have always loved the Esprit and for the amount that I drove the Elise, the Esprit makes sense (less than 2,000 miles a year).
I've been doing research on what to look for and the different years/models and overall what to expect with the car.
One thing I will have a hard time figuring out is the difference in feel between the 4 cylinder and the V8. There simply aren't that many for sale that I can easily test drive both types without traveling out of town.
Can someone who has driven both do a little compare and contrast for me? If there is not a large difference then I will focus on finding a car with the best service records.
Here is a link for both a V8 and 4.

- I will not track the car and basically will only drive it on nice weekends
- Is the V8 worth the extra money?
- I love the sound of the V8 but it is that much better than the 4?
