Would you buy Elise over Evo
I rented one in Vegas back in October. I thought this was going to be my next car. While it had some factors, I have to admit I didn't like it that much and went a head and bought a 9 mr se.

No, but I would buy one to complement the Evo. I'm 5'10 and 165lbs, so fitting is no problem. They're so rare here in northern CT. Two raw performers in the garage may be overkill though.

I'd buy it as a weekend car and leave the Evo as the DD.
