Looks very nice 
. How does it compare to the you previous Clio's? Did you consider an 'R'? I had a play with an 07 Elise S last week in my VX and they were virtually identical in terms of pace.
from the test drive i much prefer it to the clio's but will need to wait and see when i drive it properly!!!. How does it compare to the you previous Clio's? Did you consider an 'R'? I had a play with an 07 Elise S last week in my VX and they were virtually identical in terms of pace.

Is that so - I thought the NA would have been a bit behind the Elise S. . How does it compare to the you previous Clio's? Did you consider an 'R'? I had a play with an 07 Elise S last week in my VX and they were virtually identical in terms of pace. Have you had yours modified?

Hello to a fellow VXer, and nice car OP
Sorry for taking over your thread OP. I would love an Elise like yours - maybe at some point in the future. Do you have any plans for it? Sports exhaust etc.
I had a go in an "S" at Hethel. Perfectly quick enough for sane road use and the driver of an "R" would have to be trying hard to lose you in general conditions. Looks like you have a lovely car there. The lightweight wheels go really well with Storm Titanium.
Going from a 197 to the Elise you'll find the whole experience of going anywhere loads more fun. French hot hatches are completely awesome in their own way though. I find myself joyously chucking the Rallye around just about anywhere, without requiring the mega focus I like to approach driving the Elise with. The rewards of something lightweight and mid-engined manifest themselves differently to hot hatch driving. Hope you're enjoying it.
