>>28470599Muh stripped out car. Driven an Elise, it was spartan in luxuries but the seat and suspension was comfy. You can daily an Elise no problem. Mate of mine at work does (same one I drove). The nearest thing the Alpine tries to be and draws comparison to is the Elise considering engine sizes too. However while the Exige is more hardcore, for that cost I'd buy an Exige V6s. However if you want to draw the Evora in, sure. There's a 2010 manual example with 55k miles for 25K. 10k less than the A110. So again, my point stands. Why in the UK would I buy the Alpine, when I can buy a Lotus. Albeit, Elise, Exige or Evora for either cheaper, or a better one at a comparable price. I don't know why you think they are harder to live with than the Alpine. In other countries, maybe, but here where we have maximum Lotus support, why would I get the Alpine?
