Elise to S2000?

[marky999]

Hi, I'm thinking of trading in my 06 Lotus Elise 111R for a couple of reasons:

- It's an all-year car and I need a little more comfort, which I think the S2000 has.
- I need more stability in the wet

I did test drive an S2000 today and liked it very much. It didn't feel that quick to me but perhaps I never had the space to exploit it properly, and up to 60 my Elise would be quicker (but not much beyond 60, I think).

My main issue is the handling in the wet. Is the S2000 fairly safe? I get tired of driving as if on eggshells in my Elise!
Any other issues I should know about? I'm either going to buy new or a few months old (I understand the replacement isn't out for a couple of years?)

I'm sure i'm not the first person to ponder this move...The S2000 seems the next best thing to me, but better value

Thanks for your help.
