1999 Lotus Elise 111S review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I've had is the accelerator sticking, causing the engine revs to stick between 2 - 3,000 rpm. This will be fixed at the next service in a couple of 100 kms. Documented fault, so it won't be a problem. Otherwise everything is superb.
General comments?
Only got the car a few weeks ago, must stop driving it at every opportunity, because it's still a bit icy outside. Car is better than I could have dreamed.
Can't wait for Spring. Le Mans 2000 here I come.

Only just put the website up, will do a proper design when I finish drooling...
Buy one of these cars if you ever have a chance!
