Nice Elise
http://www.elisetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53924
Drool! I need to go test drive an '05 Elise that's for sale ~10 miles form home at the F-car dealership. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. |

Neither would I. Though I'd probably need to let the seat belt out a little.

I moved offices away from the pizza place that you were recommending, that's probably why...

It's climbing over the side sill and down into practically the middle of it that's the problem - better have a strong back

It may be find for a 5'-10" 165 lb. driver. . . but this 5'-10" 220 lb. driver had difficulty getting into and out of the Elise. I found it easier to forget the door and just stand up on the seat and step over the door top (w/ top off) as recommended by the salesman.
