It's the reliability, operating expenses, lack of dealer network, and lack of warranty, that makes a used Elise not be an option as a daily driver.

I just saw an Alfa 4C on the road....nice looking car. But it also has most of the issues of the Elise. I don't know about elsewhere but here both the Lotus, and the Alfa are sold and supported by dealers that also sell, Ferraris, Lambos, Maseratis etc. So repair & maintenance isn't cheap.
