Worked with a girl a few years back who had the (older, obviously) Rover engined Elise. It was totally out of this world on handling. Thats just from colleagues that she took out for a drive.

In the UK at least though, we have a hugely better version - the Vauxhall VX220. 2.2 liter engine, either 145 bhp or a 200+ bhp turbo version. Which totally smokes the Toyota engined Elise. For me at least, they look better as well.

I also seem to remember seeing something about a V6 version being thought up as well ....
