The Appeal
There are few cars more synonymous with pure driving pleasure than the Lotus Elise S. A car that’s as much about the journey as the destination, the Elise's lightweight, focused handling, and powerful engine combine to create a driving experience that's second to none.
This 2003 model has all those qualities that make the Elise S so sought after. With its cobalt blue exterior, factory-fitted leather seats and Alcantara dash that add an extra layer of sophistication, it's one you won't want to miss.
