The TIME has come! (OWNERS please comment)

Can someone explain in detail why the Lotus is not a practical car? Is it lack of storage, stiffness, road noise, etc? I'm really considering it as my next car.

Yes, yes and yes, I believe. My coworker has one - prefers driving his Nismo 350 over it on normal commutes.

Try to sit it one. 90-seconds later when you are situated in the seat, ask yourself if you can repeat that process multiple times a day.

If you never have sat in one though...go sit in a bath-tub (with no water in it of course). Position yourself as if you are seated in a car with your hands extended out gripping an imaginary wheel. Say vroom vroom.

Another thing, if you wear anything bigger than a men's size 8.5 shoe...good luck.
