Thoughts / opinions on these?
Just trailing autotrader in my budget and never even considered them. What are they like? Slow? It's a 1.8 VVTI but the 140bhp. Are they tunable? Easy to get to 200bhp like the engine they use in the elise?

I think they do a 190 version as well, not sure on the price thought. I think they are good looking cars.

A mate of mine has a 190 version, it's average. You have to thrash it to get the best out of it and it's not the kind of car that you feel like thrashing TBH.

i would of thought the 190 version is way out of my price range!
So basically a 140bhp one will be slow and boring? Looks damn sexy though.

Well £6k is stretching, £5k would be easier! I'm looking for something a bit sporty still.

uncles got a 140
Reasonable performance but need to be revved and the engine note does not encourage that
Look good though on 17's and get red and its the least common colour
