The fastest and finest car I've ever owned. So fast you'll need to improve your driving skills to take this car to its limits, and this car will help teach you how. I must say that it is much more of a machine that I have learned to handle. Walks away from similar cars like Ferrari at half the cost of those and at less maintenance cost too. The twin turbo engine even has low end torque so you can drive it like a normal car if you wish. The composite body will last a lifetime (never rust) and the undercarriage is stiff, rugged and also a work of art. This car is actually more stable the faster you go. Be careful it temps and teases you to double any speed limit, highway or tight curvey road.
I have the owners manual and sales brochures along with two keys, and of course the title in my hand. All maintenance has been performed as scheduled (or sooner), including timing belts. Tires are very good with lots of tread remaining. Cosmetically she is beautiful with only few minor nics in the paint. The one exception is holes drilled in the front bumper to attach a front license plate (stupid/why?). I'm told by Lotus that all transmissions leak a little and this is no exception, no matter how much money I've thrown at it; never enough to add fluid between changes though. Brakes are fantastic, the transmission shifts up and down smoothly and I can see no repairs in this car's near future. I'm a fanactic when it comes to proper maintenance and everything must work like it was designed to, so it does. You will be very pleased with this car.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
