I'm currently in the market for an Exige or POSSIBLY an Elise, supercharged. I'm keeping the IS-F for daily driving and for classier affairs, and plan on taking the Lotus out on the track(once I learn how to drive the thing) and for some cruising.

I'm brand loyal to Toyota and Lexus since they've never let me down, and the Lotus comes with a nice, proven, bulletproof Toyota engine. I can't afford an LF-A, so this will do.

Anybody have experience in a Lotus? I've never driven a manual vehicle before, but it doesn't seem complex. It's very crude but seems like an absolute blast to drive.

These are the closest thing to a road legal race car in the market today! I have driven one and loved every second of it, if it would have meet my need I would have bought one as a daily driver. SC'ed is the way to go in my opinion, but to each his own. These cars are VERY crude, but are purpose built vehicles so keep that in mind.
