Understand though that the Elise/Exige are not daily drivers when it comes to the comfort level of an NSX. My co-worker has an Elise and he is looking to get rid of it because of the spartan level and the lack of creature comforts like ice cold AC. He frequents the Lotus forums and has realized that it is not the car for him for the long run. The decibel levels of the engine cause a hearing loss during long uses. He cant even talk on the phone when he is in the car because of it, hence he misses alot of early morning and late afternoon conference calls
I would suggest getting into the Lotus forums first to hear from the owners. I almost went that route till I borrowed his and realized that it was more on the track car side than the daily driver side. It is an awesome track car though, none better. Most Elise owners would like a NSX, however, they think that the little nuances of the Elise/Exige give it more soul than a NSX.
