Forgive me... it was like 6 in the morning when I wrote that post, but that Lotus is a P.O.S. when it comes to quality. And best handling car in the world??? Do you mean in stock form? And I find that just a little hard to believe... Ferrari |

I'd have to say the Ariel Atom completely destroys the Lotus in all aspects of performance, and it's less expensive.
Were I to buy a focused vehicle right now, it would be the Atom.

lmao it's faster than an srt-4 stock v stock. you may say no but the stock rwd mustang gt runs a 14.x a hell of a lot easier and more often than a stock srt-4 will hit the mid 14 second range. On street tires of course. |
it's still a neon
WRX STi 4 LyFE! |

yes in the stock form
its the best in the world
it all depends on the preference of the individual, and what you want to do with it...all i'm saying is that its not for "americanized" way of driving, a la hamburger in one hand, drink in other, talking on the cell headset and yelling at the traffic all at the same time
if you wanna do that get an suv or something
to me, when you drive you drive, no time for anything else
P.S. isn't it ironic that the german autobahn (with mostly no speed limits) has fewer fatalities per 100,000 miles than the american highway system? |

two totally different categories, kid. while the atom is an extremely capable car, it's got zero usefulness as anything else besides a track car.
you can drive this every day:
i'd bet you $100000 you could NOT drive this every day:
ouch. |

This has nothing to do with the fact that I have a TT, and you don't like the interior... but I am in the car business, and the fact that you say that you compare the interior of an Audi to a Saturn is rediculous. I guess all the automotive magazines that praise Audi's interiors year after year are wrong, and all the other car manfucturers that copy from Audi are wrong too haha. Ever see the inside of a Nissan 350Z? That's a poor copy of a TT... cheap plastic, fake leather, etc. If you want to talk about cheap... talk about the Lotus Eclipse, I've heard from a couple different sources that have driven and/or owned one that it's a total P.O.S. |
Odd, because most all reviews i have read about the audi TT HATE the interior and how cheap it is. Especially at the premium price you pay to have one. I never said anytyhing about AUDI, just the TT. Compare the interior to a Saturn, and they are of the same craftsmanship level.
For one saying you're in the car business you sure know a lot about the Lotus "Eclipse":haha: What exactly do you do? |

A lotus Elise will beat a bike in the corners, I'd say that's pretty damn good handling. Ferraris are not all the media makes them out to be. |

I'm not going to get into a debate... I could care less really. I'm a used car manager at a new car dealership, but I've only been in the business for the last 15 yrs, so what do I know? :rolleyes: :o :wtf:
P.S. Lotus has one of the worst reputations in the industry |
