It was my bday today so i decided to rent a lotus, and all i can say is wow, i love it. Its so much fun to drive, its fast, when you get to 5000 revs and then it kicks in again. Its so nice. Handles really well too. I will def be buying the Exige 204s when i have the money. They only had the elise to rent today but it really exceeded my expectations.....

How does the shift knob feel in comparison? How does the engine feel? Does it feel like it's falling apart in terms of build?

good pics. how about some interior pics of the car?

A.Mair

user24 the shift knob i liked better, it seemed to go into gear a lot easier. The car is just a different class to the rx8. Its a straight up sports car.
I didnt take any pics of the interior to be honest

That's sweet. I want to rent one but I'm sure I wouldn't fit in any Lotus (perhaps an Esprit...)

well the esprit has more luxuries in the interior than the elise, and with the same body. so you would probably fit better in the elise


but anyway happy birthday anthony, that looks like an awesome birthday present :)

Epitome of a sportscar. Styling, power, handling all superb. My friend once rented a vette when he was younger and totalled it lol! He's a lawyer now but he was hating life for sometime.

My friend has one and it's a dream to drive, it's so fun! I wish I could have one as a second vehicle. They will come down in price, if I were a little smaller I'd probably own one. I'm not huge (6'1 195lbs) but the car is really tight for someone my size. My friend is like 5'8 so it works great for him.

a 360 modena is 275 for 45 minutes.....

they may say its only 275 but they don't give a time limit.

My dad wanted to do this for his birthday, it was 275 for the first 45 mins-1 hour. then 200 extra per hour, then 4 bucks per mile over 150 put on it. then you also have to pay them for the gas already in the tank when you receive the car. It is DEFINITELY expensive as fack.

its ridiculous, i didnt have to fill the gas up but i got 100 miles in it and it was 75 cents for every mile after
