I dont know how many times i wachted this video about the last three weeks. Tomorrow Im getting my lotus elise and instead of watching the video I can finally drive it. Im really excited about it.

Congrats on your Elise! 11 years of daily driving mine and countless track days and I'm still not tired of it. Cars shouldn't just get us from point A to point B; they can get us from boredom to joy. A Lotus can do that in under five seconds.

1) I love it 2) It's my favorite Car 3) I wanted it since i bought it on nfs Carbon 4) It's amazing 5) it's beautiful Why I don't have one already: 1) If I buy one I won't eat for at least two years

Lotus nails the recipe of ultimate driving fun: Small, less than a thousand kg of weight, stick shift and mid-engine. A modern car with the dimensions, weight and simplicity of an old school warrior. Respect for Lotus.

I may be slightly biased but I seriously believe the S2 is the best looking of the S1, S2 and S3.

Your video puts smiles on people’s faces ! Great job mate

Excellent video! Thank you. While I already have a 495 HP "sports car", it weighs over a thousand pounds more than the Elise. At under 1800 lbs., the Elise is pure magic, regardless of horsepower! I'm on the hunt for one now.

awesome, awesome, awesome vid! u nailed. love that thing - great job man!

The Lotus Exige, Mazda Miata, Toyota Supra, mazda RX... These are all cars that have demonstrated a purist perspective in motorsports. Honestly the reason why they are not seen much on the road is because people dont care, but they belong in the perfect world and people know it.

Love the video. Thank you! You convinced me 😊

Congrats on your Elise, I own an Evora, which I love, but the Elise is also a very beautiful and fun car as well!! Very Fun video, it reflects your Joy of owning it. Enjoy it.

I'm planning on getting one of these, or an Exige from the same series eventually, and I've been watching way too many Elise/Exige reviews over the last few days. One of the main things that has been consistent across all of them is the grin on the face of the driver. It's only made me want one even more.

I can relate to where The Gentleman is coming from. The most fun to drive car I've owned was an '87 Toyota MR-2. Strictly a mid-engine two seater, it was the first car I bought strictly for my use. No hauling groceries or kids to school. The winding roads of the near by Texas Hill Country were my playground with that car.

Great style of video man!! And nice ride Subscribing for sure

Absolutely AWESOME Video Man!! Thanks!

I've still got mine since 2006, don't own another car. Sooooooo much fun. The Queens highways become a giant go-kart track when you have an Elise.

This is one of the most amusing and accurate videos I have watched. The secret with Lotus is preventative maintenance . I have a 1969 Europa S2 ( a little wider inside) and it was my daily driver for 8 years and I still have it 48 years later. If you "feel" the car and understand it, they are a keeper. Great video, thank you.

N°5....You are the only guy in the net to explain exactly how drive this car make me feel.....no words....chapeaù 👏👏👏

Love the styling in this video. Highly entertaining.

Why don't lotus owners understand that getting a removable steering wheel is essential if you plan on leaving the top on lol

Excellent review Mr Gentleman.

Brilliant advert, love my 111r (Saffron Yellow)

subbed and excellent video - I have just ordered a build slot for a final edition - so excited.

Great Video. Ioved it. I for one will petition Hollywood for a new action detective TV series staring you and your Lotus

"for Ford Focus money" - God I wish that was even close to true in Australia. These are at least 4 times the price of a Focus here

Just bought an S2 Elise, will have it in three/four weeks after a complete service will be completed... Agree to all you said Mr Gentleman, specially about the thing that you feel special in a Lotus 😉

This man made a subtle dream car for some into THE dream car for all.

Excellent review man.

I really like your style man! Keep up the good work and you got a sub from me!

This video is just perfect.

I expected you to have a million subs. Nice video man!

Such an inspiring video. I really wonder how much fun could It be to drive an Elise instead of my E46...

YOU AND THE CAR and you drive and that is what its about excellent review

Superb, witty and intelligent review.

People say I won't get this car, that I won't be successful enough to get it, that the day I get behind the wheel of my own Lotus Elise will be when pigs fly. Well I'm coming for you Elise, despite what others say, give me 2 years (I will return to this video in 2 years for an update)

Top video, mate.

Quality vid top man

Awesome video and I am actually going to buy one to 👌🏻

Thanks for sharing your insight, enjoyed the video. Where’d you get your jacket?

The skit was fabulous!

Great video sir, I absolutely loved it. Is that a Larini Sports Exhaust I hear @ 7:28 ?

Great Vid!!!

I know that feeling! My Profile Picture just there on the left shows a dark grey one.

ok great video but i have to ask - I love your leather jacket! Where did you get it from?!

found this video and I love it

Right portion of british humor... whether or not, in my opinion you got the point and these are the correct 5 reasons. By the way: the Rover K is the same I got in the Cat - if you look after it and take care, it is a fun buddy (and can be relieable, if it wants to 😉)

This video made me want to buy an Elise. And I will

nice video! Hoping Lotus to lauch their new generation of elise in 2020, with investments from Geely.

Thank you for the video

Personally, I'd put "The Cornering" in my top five. And I have no complaints about the seats (Probax seats were introduced in about 2005). But well done, sir. Top effort.

@2:59 "school zone" in the road and he proceeds to powerslide it, legend

nice, keep up the good work..

great video!!!

Supercar fun at supermarket prices. It’s on a par with my Lambo, both are keepers

Je hebt dezelfde motor als in mijn MGF Trophy 160 zit. MEMS 3 ECU. Er zijn nog wel verbeteringen toe te passen om hem sneller te maken en met meer torque. Stage 1 & 2 ECU remap bijvoorbeeld.

Mine had to go when the kids came along, miss it every single day! 🙁

This is very high quality for your subscriber count

Great video! I'd love to drive one. Might consider buying one as my first sports car. However, I'm not sure if I'll fit (I'm 6'5)

The seats are not bad at all. I did many times more than 1000km in one day. The seats don't give you back pain. Even my girlfriend likes to travel with it. When we go on holiday to Spain, we just drive by Switzerland and take on all the mountain passes just for fun. It's a huge bypass, but with a Lotus you drive until the gas tank is empty. You fill it up and drive again until it's empty. It's the most fun car that exist. I own an Esprit, Exige and a tuned Opel Speedster turbo. The Speedster by the way is the best Elise. A lot more power for the same fun as an Elise. I love it. I drive with a lot of Porsches to, but they are just boring, transport only from A to B. Lotus offers better looks and more pure driving experience

I have an Elise MK2, '01 (one of the first and with a tuned K series engine) . I love it and will not part with it but even though mine weighs about 750kg it feels so slow. Measured horsepower is 148bhp which is nothing for this car. Only torque you have is at about 3000-3500rpm and then you get a micro burst. Also it does on average 1 liter per 8 km. For winter time I have a 1.8 liter Audi TT (2010) and it blows the Elise from the scale on all aspects except fun. The Lotus you drive with a smile even though it is from petrol station to petrol station. I can honestly say the car is absolute shit, but I love it and it will be my daily driver even when I transition it into electric. (no idea when that will be affordable)

This is the most underrated channel ever! Keep up the good work! This channel deserves more!

Animal is a nice way to describe it (cute with a huge bite) I own two 111R and a 2010 love them both

I sold my Elise to buy my first Lamborghini and, despite owning 3 Lambos since, there are times when I still miss the Elise. Great car.

Very good.

Buy the Probax memory foam seats. Those are comfortable :)

Nice review, but at 7.29 you entered the car with no troubles at all, so why all that fuss at the beginning?

ik hoor echt dat je NL bent

Top Gear mimic, but nice video.👍

That fight bro🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

I owned a lotus elan (SN26-263) for 42 years and everything you say about your car was true of the elan.

Got Mine 2005 LOVE IT!!!

I don't know i like to drive and I can appreciate the Collin Chapman spirit in the car but at the same time it freaks me out. At best the technology in this car is like a 70's sport car and Colin was always big on performance but did not care much about safety. Also the short wheel base does not help with stability. Great channel enjoy the car once you get it back. U have a new subscriber.

The ending gave me tears bruh. My dream car right here

The best Lotus ever made. 2ZZ is a work of art.

Super leuke video! Thanks. Herken de schoolzone. ;-)

Porsche don't piss pants at 5 seconds my friend. The majority of Porsches will hit 60 in under 4 seconds. Oh btw I'm no Porsche fanboy I love Lotus and have an mg

I'm a shy person. I'm 6ft 2. I still want one.

are those shoes good for driving?

Didn‘t you sell it shortly after this video?

Had mine for a month. I'm in love.

It's a bit small for me 6'-4"....

what a marketing style..he's smiling dead haha

Yeah so here in Canada it makes no sense to buy 5x for a used Elise vs a Miata. if buying a new MX5 you have to still spend 2x more for a used say 2007 Elise..wow in Europe they are way cheaper

Did you get it fixed?

You can get an old jaguar xk for the same price, it has 502bhp and is way more comfortable

You can absolutely tell you are doing your best to channel a younger, less fat, Jeremy Clarkson in this video.

If you need a reason, don't.

A school zone is definitely the best place for oversteer ;)

Reason number 4 is the only reason you need to buy a Lotus lul

Goede video hahaha, Lotus Elise prachtwagen

Great car.. i love my Lotus Elise.. 250 cv x 890 KG..

gentle car,lotus 🍟

hmmm...I´ve done 500km nonstop in a Mk2, got out and could go another 500km...maybe like...grease ur butt, uh...sir? that thing is heaven-sent! honestly, if you´ve never driven one of these...you missed ALL the fun! btw.: smoked an f-type V6 today (steep learning curve, but oh so rewarding once you know how to drive those beasts)...no hassle, good choice and welcome to "our" little club

Because Raer engine so light .

The best car

Reason #1 should be the ride.

After i sell my lovely Porsche, i want buy this car as my new toy!☺️👍👍

An Audi TT is £28k. For £31k, you could have one of these. I see far too many TTs on the road.

One does not "get into" a Lotus Elise....one "puts it on"....like any other proper piece of attire.

Im purchasing an evora!
