Ironically, my best experiences I remember in the Elise in the brief time I owned it (a year) were:

driving my then girlfriend out for a night on the town and then being able to drive underneath the parking garage automated blocker thing to get free parking
telling a guy at a light that the car is not a Lamborghini but a Lotus
engine sounds right behind your head were cool

Hehe well I drove that Miata back to back with my S2000 on a fun road when I owned one last year. However, I bet if I got into an S2k now, VTEC would be every bit as fun as before!

Still interested in the Elise as a weekend car. The steering feel alone was just awesome. The rental I drove had 85k on it and was pretty ragged, CEL on, etc. so I'd like to try one in better shape. This one didn't feel much quicker than my S2k.
