Hey guys,

I've been unfortunately driving a Fiat for the last few years and I've finally got the funds to be permanently driving a car I've wanted for years a Lotus Elise I've be visiting these two dealers this week to test drive these two beauties:

Personally I like the blue one better but what do you think? I'll let you know once I give them both a spin. Anything I should be looking out for when test driving?

Oh and hey hopefully I'll be able to contribute to this forum a bit once I've got a set of British car keys ;)

Cheers!

Welcome!

Go with blue; too many silver cars on the road!

Just a word of counsel - this is primarily a USA-based forum, and the cars you're looking at, the Elise 111S, weren't exported to here so you might not get the support you would from a UK site.
Having said that, welcome anyway, and I'd pick blue, if I couldn't find Racing Green that is!

The blue is good, tho I'm particularly partial to Lotus Racing Green
