General Comments:

Lovely car overall.

Just make sure that you bear in mind that the cost of ownership is astronomical. I have calculated that I ended up paying 10,000 Euro in just 10 months of ownership, and only covered about 1000 miles.

Ownership in Cyprus can be a NIGHTMARE due to the lack of support.

I love the Lotus, and even though it has tortured me, I will not sell the car. It drives great, and sounds just amazing with a Larini exhaust.
