Lotus Elise SC: Full Specification

Category: Roadsters4 out of 5

Summary of the Lotus Elise SC

Price: £32,067

Assets

Still one of the best driver's cars on sale at any price. Now, with the availability of the S model, there's a great-value entry-level model too, complementing the high-performance R. The Elise is more desirable than ever.

Drawbacks

It can't match 'softer' rivals for comfort, but then, that's not its remit. Just be aware that it's noisier, less cosseting and harder than a Boxster.

Verdict

The perfect example of evolution. It just gets better as the years pass.
