The car is more attractive in person than it is from the pictures, both front and rear fenders are far more flared (wide) than pictures indicate. The reflectors are as others have said not really an issue. The rest of the vehicle is so striking that they become rapidly invisible. The fit and finish is better than any Lotus every made with one exception. The LOTUS letters across the rear are not raised metal or plastic as I thought, they are stick on vinyl. I was told that is not for the show but the final production design.
Good News for tall people.....
I am 6'2" and had no difficulty entering the car with top on
( I'm also 53 BTW) getting out was more difficult, but liveable. I had at least 4 inches of head clearance with softop on, double what I have in my Vette. Seats are quite narrow though. The Elise diet starts today. Yellow is the clear winner color wise. It works so well with all the black trim pieces. The car looks like a big yellow jacket bumble bee. It is a bright perfect yellow, not too orange, not too green. Tour package is in, LSS and hardtop are out. The softop was better quality than I expected, the tour package one should be better still. I was told again that the LSS is only reccomended for cars that will be run on the track and if your'e not a very skilled driver you'll never push the car beyond what the normal setup will do.
Elise purchase is on track. Wife approves.
