Short order look

You must try it on for size. Make sure the seat moves back far enough so your legs are not jammed under the steering wheel and you're comfortable. You should also have good headroom so you're not ducking down to see through the windshield. And make sure you can get out quickly in an emergency.

About Lotus

Lotus founder and legendary Grand Prix designer, Colin Chapman, began building sports and racing cars renowned for their light weight and agile handling as far back as the 1940s. The Malaysian company, Proton, now owns Lotus, but its cars, which are aimed at the enthusiast driver, are still designed and produced in England. Models imported to Australia by Lotus Cars Australia include the Elise, Exige and Evora.

** Warranty information shown is based on manufacturer data supplied by Glass's Information Services or the manufacturer directly, and reflects the manufacturer warranty offered at the time of publication. Warranty terms vary by model, variant and time of purchase, and may be subject to service conditions and exclusions that can change without notice. Where a warranty is expressed as both a period of time and a kilometre limit, cover ends at whichever of those limits is reached first. Where a warranty is shown as "up to", the maximum term applies to selected models only and may be subject to additional conditions. Extended warranty cover may be conditional on servicing at an authorised dealer. For used vehicles, remaining manufacturer warranty depends on the vehicle's build date, service history and previous ownership. Nothing in this warranty information limits or excludes any rights or guarantees you have under the Australian Consumer Law, which apply in addition to any manufacturer warranty. CarsGuide does not warrant the accuracy or currency of the warranty information. Confirm current warranty terms with the manufacturer or an authorised dealer before purchase.
