It's nowhere near as impractical as lots of people make out.

...but I've used mine as my everyday car for nearly two years, and I've never felt the need for anything bigger.
So basically if you only need a 2 seats an elise is the same as any 2 seater? Who`d have guessed?

Not really going to work if you need more than 2 seats or have kids though.

the seats are the best I've sat in (out of hundreds of cars)
Dunno if the the S1 135 model is different to the others but the one I went in, I found the seats horrendously uncomfortably, I've sat on more comfortable park benches.

I can get my golf clubs in the boot
fk off. The widest thing that fits in that boot is the carbon fibre strut things that hold the roof up, and they have to wedged in each side under the body.

You'd maybe get a nine iron and a putter in there, but unless you only play pitch and putt that's a bit useless.

I do agree that the boot is bigger than people suggest (I managed to get a whole festival kit for two people in there, for example) but it's simply not wide enough for golf bats.

So do I, but keep that quiet because it's not very "PH" to like them. hehe
