I can't help you, Lotus Elise's are amazing cars. I've ridden in one but never driven one. They are still in production and they meet us safety requirements for production cars.

Basically, take every stereotype about sports cars you can think of and magnify it by 10 and decide if you can live with that (both the good and the bad). These are 800-900 lbs lighter than a Cayman (just short of a ton less than an SS). They have about half the power of the SS but since it's nearly half the weight so it works out. From my brief experience, it's not a relaxed driving experience- you twitch your mustache and you start to turn so prepare to feel caffeinated ALL THE TIME. (edit) Honestly, as I thought about it more- as impressive as this car is, it may literally be the second worst daily driver in America. A Camaro should in theory be a fine car to drive on a daily basis.
