Bored after two days ownership of new car...

[NathanK]

... so went to work in the Elise.

Yep; Bought a Passat for trips up to London airports and the like. I planned to drive it for a couple of weeks to make sure there's no niggles, but was so bored with my 10 mile drive to work by Tuesday that I got back into the Elise!

Is this it, have I destroyed any enjoyment I'm going to get from normal cars from now on?? Usually when I get a new thing, whatever it is, I play with it for ages, so what it does, how it works, but with the new car I just don't care....

Perhaps when the roof goes back on I'll think differently ... doubt it!

Have said myself that the Elise has ruined every other car now!

I love the wife's Alfa 147! But it's cack to drive... since the 1st March this year

I also have a Diesel Astra Van that is so far from enjoyable that it plain don't count!!

Last March (05) I took delivery of a brand spanking new X-Type Jag Wagon specced exactly as I wanted it. Great car, absolutely loved it but.................
in November after 18,000 miles I chopped her in and bought a 99 S1 Elise and a MG ZT with the change for family and work duties.
Guess what? I use the Elise as my daily driver, Mrs T's A3 for weekend family duties and the MG?.... well she's very dusty.
I just absolutely love my Elise and when the roof's on I just turn up the stereo

Well I look at it the other way - I drive my diesel Ibiza (which by the way is still pretty good fun to drive) during the week partly so that I keep the Elise for 'best' ... makes it that much more of a special event when you do drive it ...

try going from a S1 elise with approx 160 bhp after DVA mod to a 1L VW Lupo...then try overtaking anything or going round corners at any degree of speed.

i swear rocking backwards and forwards helps.....I have also folded down the back seats as well

I have the same problem after I got my 'liz. My honda is just so utterly booooring to drive

my 'liz is the best car I ever had my only regret is that I should've bought one way back in 1996
