The Lotus Elise is a pure drivers car. Small, lightweight, stiffly sprung and fun to drive. I don't think it would make a good daily driver though. The seats are almost on the floor and aren't very well padded. Also, the car is pretty stiff so bumpy roads will jar you pretty good.
If you can live with the lack of creature comforts and bone jarring ride I say go for it. I would love to have one but they are pretty pricey for such a small car.

hahah I should explain this little more - I'm moving to NYC area for work and I'm planning on taking the train to work daily... so the car won't be a commuter or anything.That's why I'm thinking something really sporty and utilitarian would be awesome the rest of the time.
I've owned two nissan Z cars before as DDs and absolutely loved them.. no complains about passanger or trunk space (both were 2 seaters).

I believe Anand owns a Lotus Elise...as well as a Nissan 350Z and Ferrari 360.

The Elise rocks...if you own it as a pure fun / weekend / 3rd car whatever...
One of the sportiest vehicles on earth...no comfort but you're sitting in it glued to the street 😀
Unfortunately I only did a test ride once, because I needed a 1st / all day car... 😉
But when I could spare the money I would have one for the weekend... MK-I of course, the MK-II design sucks bad... 😛

Swapping cars or buying another one? I would swap it.

Take a look at this site. The members here are probably much more knowlegable than the members here about the Elise or Exige.

Seriously...there is not a single decently paved road in the entire city, and it's not as if the small size is going to help you find parking spots, because there arent any in the first place. Besides, yellow cab vs. elise = cab wins. Not to mention it's a theft target, and will get absolutely destroyed on city streets by everything.
The only vehicle I would drive in the city on a day to day basis is a bradley or an abrahms, more for the cannons than the armor.
