No surprises really.

Surely there was some surprise that it wasn't a sub five second car?

The official stats are 0-60mph in 4.9 secs

0-100km) is 5.1 secs

it did 5.4 to 60

the quicker they release the supercharger version the quicker more of us will buy one.

great handling or not i really expect comfortably sub 5 seconds.

yet to see one on the road yet. typical lotus.

They have only just released the first couple of cars to customers - delivery was always going to be a few months after the reviews, and they've spent a little time fixing a couple of the issues that were brought up during review. So you won't have seen any on the road - this isn't a Ka.

It's be interesting to find out which gearbox they were using to get the 0-60 times. As far as I know, all of the launch cars are on the standard box. The sports box should be a little better.

I recall that Autocar used the sports box

I actually have seen one, other than dealer ones, I saw a yellow one on the M25 last week. Looked ok, nothing special though - I suspect it is a really colour specific car. The graphite cars look good, I think it needs a metallic colour to refect the light a bit, flat colours make it look to disjointed.
