anyone watching this in 2018?? Look how far he has come since then!!

Wow! One of the best Elise video reviews I've seen! Chock full of details but clear and brief. Very nicely executed as well. I can tell you had fun doing it. Keep it up 👍👍😊

anyone watching this in 2019?? he come so far to be a stradman who he is now

Bring back stradman reviews! Hopefully going to be buying a Elise soon as my daily! You’ve always been a huge inspiration

Your car vlogs today are so much better it's crazy how much your videos have changed, congrats

He’s pretty good at this, I hope he gets big one day

I'm going to get this car, fuck what anyone says

You can hear the confidence he has now vs on this video... Great job man keep up the good work, you deserve it 😁👍

U have changed so much by the years. Still love your videos

The back trunk and passengers seat is enough for grocery shopping. Great review for a sexy car

So these is where the stradman started 😂😂😂 so wierd

Been obsessed over the Lotus Elise since a kind man let me look over it when I was a child. It was a beautiful purple and was nice.

excellent review! Love the Elise.... love it.

Can’t believe how far you’ve come mate look you just bought your own land 🤙🏻

Thanks for the review, very detailed.

watching in 2019 because I'm about to purchase an elise. Crazy how far he's come.

Very good review Stradman.. I am 6'2 tall and considering buying one of these.. i actualy felt like i was in the cabin with you during this review, thank you..

Good job on the review. Looks like a great car for twisty back roads.

Well done on your progress

I started watching you vids when you barely had gotten the lambo, I've missed a lot lol but this car is awesome as well dude !! 👌

Great review, well done.

I miss my Elise a lot. But I like my Elan too!

Nice review!

i'll be sub 720 for you, I always watch your videos and enjoy your review on these exotic cars.

I didn't know about this channel till today

I have an Elise , and it is literally stunning how much weight matters in a car. This car on paper looks weak but once you drive it its unbelievably fun ! I should make more videos of it too lol

it's difficult to describe and explain how incredible to drive this car really is. one has to drive the car to fully experience what a thrill it is. there is no other car that drives like the elise.

This man is in sema now we three of his cars front and centre. What a journey it’s been

My favorite lightweight car!

I have had a 2001 Elise for 10 years. I am 188cm - no problem. No repairs - only normal service. Very simple and very good car.

I always take my Chrome Orange Elise grocery shopping.....she is my daily driver.......and then I drive home......FAST! ;-)

Laser Blue - the coolest color they made. I wish they would make a comeback to the USA.

Nice looking car love the color. It's a middle class mans exotic. I'd buy one(used of corse)

That's a really cool car bro👍👍😎

Amzazing! Good Video

great color

Love those cars

Do a review on your 8 current cars!

2020 anyone?????

You should start making reviews about other cars my Friend ! Good timing voice , decent information, just do it

After 9 years its recommending me

👏👏 car review

This guy has no idea. I've had a 2006 Elise and now have a 2008 Exige S240, both of which I regularly take to the grocery store, drive whenever, and take on errands. Last night I bought groceries at Super G....7 bags and they all fit in the boot.

Planning on getting one. How's the maintenance on these car?

This is gold

Do you still own yours? I have a 2005 as well and love it. ❤️

Damn you guys are giving the guy a hard time but it doesn't matter because the stradman is a baller and everyone has to start somewhere. I mean just look at where he's at now? He went from this to reviewing and driving some of the most amazing cars in the world. Haters don't know and never will.

Sempre bellissima 😍

What's the maintenance or any cons with the car? How many miles do you have

Only 27 mpg on the highway? Is that at 100 mph? Some of the testing done in UK had the Elise doing more than 50 mpg - although that was with UK gallons, which are larger (4.5 litres compared with 3.8 for US)

"The aluminum engine block is derived from a Toyota Celica GT-S 2ZZ Engine." - On this model, the entire engine is Toyota 2ZZ. It has Lotus ECU. Later models were/are 1ZZ. Earlier are Rover K Series.

Where did you film this? It looks like Bend, Or

Still miss the Lotus Elise

You are the stradman, this is where you started, and now you have like 6 cars, each of which are from 30,000 - 400,000 cars

one day i will buy this car i don't care if it's 2017 or 2700 i will stay alive and buy this car!!!!!!!! xd

Love to see Burlachlor fit in there

I have to ask if live in bend is that where you are from?

It'd be impossible for a manufacturer to ever build a car like this again. If you want a pure, analog driving experience -- this is it. Though I disagree with him I've taken mine to the grocery store many times.

sweet!

Anyone watching this in 2020 when James has 8 cars

I'd love to own an S1 Elise. They just keep getting more expensive every day though!

What other cars do you have

super hardcore track toy at a reasonable price.

I'm a huge lotus fan but I'm not sure if I want to get an Evora or an elise?

Sounds like he's reading from cue cards lol. But good video and love the car. But seams like it needs bigger rims and tires , if they fit. Also super dark tinted windows would look dope on this car as well

What is the name of the car again?

Sisters is a nice little town

This is epic we found his second channel and oscars too

hey you guy, you got my shoes! Puma...

Actually the compartment of the Elise could probably fit 2-3 small children, or a duffle bag or a rucksack, some medium suit cases et c so you could definitely do your groceries with it unless you're prepping for a party… Other than that sweet 🍬 ride 👍, small and impractical, but sweet, especially when you give no f's about anything but driving, performance and handling, definitely an off the beaten track choice for Americans 😊

How is it driving without power steering I'm looking into this car but I'm a little worried because it would be my first car without power steering and I know some people are gonna hate but I'm willing to take the criticism.

I bet he couldn’t even imagine having 1 lambo but he is over that now

Lol - just watched this (I know its old) But I picked up the kid from school and went to the store in mine today!

Holy frick a new one is less than a Acura sudan Its like 35,000$

Hey this guy looks like he will own a Veyron after a couple of years

I love that version which have "L O T U S" on back

you have a bugatti now 😳

Hey I am in the future about 6 years your main channel has about 2.6 million subscribers you are supper car shopping for a McLaren P1 or a Bugatti Veron congress on you success in your future much love.

Ik you haven’t been on, but you look like a young Neal Mcdonough

More review please!!! @stradman

I'm 6'2. I hear from friends that my height is too tall to even sit in the cabin of sports cars. What is your take?

This is my dream car and if i ever get it i want to put a carbon fiber hood on it

ha love the mpg not the way idrive my sc

who is that guy?

Does the roof leak?

watching in 2016

a mini exotic is very accurate for this car.

thailand good..

The stradmand huh

If the engine is in the back, whats under the front hood

Is this vehicle allowed in Canada?

My name is Elise spelled the same way... Elise Archer o.o

Robotron!

★I could understand easily!. Blue sky color is good .・・！！

I think toyota designed this suspension from the mr2 for this car

I felt uncomfortable throughout the whole video. Too awkward, man, too awkward.

2022

2020?

Any one here after he wrapped his bugatti teal ?

:0 oh shiiiii
