I just sat in the Elise yesterday and the drivers seat is pretty narrow for my body type (6'1" @ 225lbs). I have broad shoulders and took up at least a few inches of the passenger seat. Seems to me this is a one person ride for me unless I have a real skinny person next to me.
Seats to narrow?

I'm a broad guy (5'10, 240-ish pounds now) and I fit just fine. But my passengers may be a bit squished! 
Seriously, my fairly large sized friend and I sat in the Elise. I wouldn't call it comfortable for him, but he was able to fit and go for a 10 minute drive. (This was a Euro-spec S2 Elise.)

To me, the best description of seating width in the Elise is a common airline coach seat.
You share the armrest with the person next to you, so you will bump elbows. And if your upper body is wider, there can be some touchage.

Seat Rebuild with Kemmler Air2Gel Foam
Interior/ExteriorLike a bunch of people here, I wasn't really satisfied with the seats on my '05. For short periods they were ok, but after a couple of hours the thin butt-padding and poorly placed lumbar support was really detracting from the fun of driving the car. I sat in a couple of '06 (both Elise and...- 125
