I tried a friend's Elise and it's too extreme for a DD. Having good steering just can't compensate for all the other minuses.

I created the account just for this thread but it looks like I'll be back at some point in the future when I'll buy one of these to cars.
You may want to shop around a bit more. If you go into one of these cars with the thought you "settled" or were "stuck" you may never be satisfied. Even with the refinements for 2017 they are still more of a raw car than you may expect. They make weird noises, are not a luxury ride, although not slow they are not the fastest thing on the road and if your kids have legs the back seat is only really good for short trips. Not really sure what may be more appropriate and certainly agree that the choices are sparse in this category but you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.
