Elise's are very capable cars. Only true negative is the Yamaha engine (built for Toyota) when revved to the red a lot. The 2ZZ GE is known for high RPM failure even with low miles and correct scheduled maintenance. The rest of the car is fantastic.

The K20 should have been the motor placed in the Elise in the first place. Honda wouldn't play ball though and Lotus had to settle for the Toyota motor.
