Observations after the first week with my Elise

September 22nd, 2004

I don’t mean to sound like I’m complaining. I just want to point out the issues that may surprise some people. Let’s face it, cars these days are so refined, there is much that people just come to expect in a car. The Elise is not designed with the same philosophy as, say, a Boxster, MR2, or NSX. The Elise has one priority, and that is to be a fantastic handling, incredible sports car experience. In that, it absolutely excels, and it is that that you must focus on when you buy your Elise. If you want a car that is not only the best sports car, but also has the best human factors and liveability, shop elsewhere (and spend the rest of your life regretting it! ).

Elise low fuel light operation

September 22nd, 2004

Today I discovered that the low fuel light comes on when there are approximately 2.4 gallons (out of 10.6) left in the tank. I’m not tracking mileage precisely yet, but it seems to be in the upper 20s. So, the Elise appears to have a pretty typical 40-50 mile reserve when the light illuminates.
