Just trying to get some opinions before i make the move...

So ive really had my eye on the lotus elise
But Is it worth it?
Is maintenance going to burn a whole in my pocket?

 

if you're going lotus. go exige!

eh what am i talking about. if i could id take both of them

good luck on the decision man!


and yea, maintenance might be a little higher being that lotus is not that big of a company here in the us

 

isn't maintenance cheap? it's a celica engine... so i wouldn't think it's that expensive...

 

Probably better if you posted on a lotus forum?

 

Its a toyota..

 

just do an engine swap and take it to your trusty honda peeps

 

what about toyota? they are great cars, considering you're also from the mr2, im sure you remember how fun the sw20's are

 

just swap a K24 in there make life much easier

 

Take it and never look back.

 

That is a GREAT engine. I owned a Celica GT-S and never had a single problem. It was built in conjunction with Yamaha Motors, so you have two quality companies backing it. I can't imagine what else could be so expensive to maintain? Brake pads, clutch, tires? I'm sure none of them are worse than in the S...
