Well had my S1 test drive on Saturday at Bell + Collvill.
I have been on a few corporate days before and have driven the Elise round tracks a few times at immense enjoyment, but this was the first time I have driven the Elise over public roads.
I was amazed how settled and fun it was on ordinary roads, most of the car magazine reviews say it is full of bumps and rattles, I agree there is a little bit of bump steer with the car being so light but it was mostly fine - the same as any other sports car with firm suspension.
The Bell+Collvill bloke had obviously practised his test route many times as he went round two or three bends at full pelt, which had me looking for the footbrake on the passenger side, I had forgotten how great the handling was!
Definately going to buy one now, off to the classifieds!
