I am obviously pretty bias as I have just bought an Europa! However the more miles I do in the car the more I love it. The power is good, the chassis safe for all of us who have been driving front wheel drive cars and need to get our eye in on a mid engined vehicle and the brakes awsome. With full leather interior the cabin is a nice place to be. I agree the stereo is poor. I have ditched mine and upgraded the speakers and it now sounds fantastic. And as for the looks, well I work with a load of petrol heads and they all love it. The view from the rear 3/4 is super agressive and is all most are seeing at the moment! There are some very competatively priced cars out there at the moment and with such limited production run I am claiming residuals will be ok.
Sounds so good I think I will take the afternoon off....forget the Cayman, time to go hunting Exiges!

"and with such limited production run I am claiming residuals will be ok" - sorry, but that was because no one wanted them!

Cracking write up really, some people are just massive badge snobs and would rather follow the crowd and the tennis club and have the Porsche. If I had the money, I'd have a Europa, but only after I'd seen it in person, photos don't do them justice at all.

In the interest of balance there is a version not written by a Lotus fan-boy http://cars.uk.msn.com/Reviews/article.aspx?cp-doc...

I don't think it's fair for anyone to comment who hasn't driven the Europa (225bhp version) it's a totally different car now. I wish they'd feature it now on 5th gear or top gear it would walk out of showroom's it's fantastic.

Drive it and then post mark my word's you'll love it

Boggy

To add I've driven both the Cayman & Cayman S fantastic car's they are not just felt like a quick Audi TTyuck

There is two ways you can go about getting a car. You can read what everyone else says about the cars and make a decision based on other peoples opinions of you can make a choice yourself just because you choose to. I think the latter is far more empowering. Only trouble is I keep choosing Lotii!
