Default I saw a Lotus Elise on the streets in Cherry Hill, NJ...

It was orange and still had the temp tag on it. The pictures look much better than the real thing, but I am sure it is an absolute blast to drive. Anyone (try) to run with one yet?

I've seen one in DC, but a Metro was driving it... it matched. Okay cars, but I wouldn't drive one!

I've seen a few at car shows, etc. It's amazing how small & low to the ground it is. Haven't seen one actually driving on the street. I know someone autocrosses one at Englistown.

Default I would be terrified driving something that small on the streets

Like you said... very small and very low. If you get into an accident almost everything will be higher than you.... NOT GOOD. It would be great on the track though.

The previous owner of my S traded it for a Lotus Elise.

Default I looked at one before buying the S4....

A blast to drive but what a pain to get in and out of with the wide sills and low roof.

Great for a weekend car.... but as a daily use car even for just the summer its a tough sell.
