Incredible gas mileage that does not sacrifice the Lotus Elise 1.6's high performance
Low emission levels
Standard aluminum features in the cab
Excellent handling even during inclement conditions
Exotic style both for the interior and exterior
Limited space is provided within the Lotus Elise 1.6 and is especially detrimental for tall drivers
Air conditioning does not come standard
Soundproofing measures are not standard
The Lotus Elise 1.6 does very little to protect passengers from a side impact
The convertible costs a little more than most other similar vehicles
