Hello,
Currently I own an 07 MINI Cooper and have been in love with Lotuses for a longgg time (well I'm only 20). I am in college now, but I'm really craving a lotus. As much as my dream one is a black exige, they are just too pricey. Really even an elise is pricey at 30K. I got my cooper for 22K with tax.
My big question is how reliable these lotuses are and how expensive they are to maintain (have a friend that has an exige and he told me about their love for tires lol)? Would it be silly for me to take on a car like this at this time in my life? Are they relatively pricey to maintain not including the tires?
Just trying to see if I need to wait until I have a better income to take on a lotus.
Also it would be my daily driver. I can accept the harshness of the car itself because luxury is not really my thing, I just wonder how these hold up driven daily.
Thank you in advance for any info/tips/suggestions you all have
