Anyone in Charlotte Interested in Driving a Lotus Elise? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BobsElise · 10-08-2012, 10:11 AM

I am getting pretty close to selling my 2005 Elise in favor of something more comfortable and my leading candidate for replacement is a Subaru BRZ. Unfortunately, none of the local dealers has a MT FR-S or BRZ available. Before I get too far down the road in this process I would like to get behind the wheel of a manual transmission FR-S or BRZ to make sure that this is really the car for me. I was wondering if anyone in the Charlotte area would be kind enough to let me drive their car. In exchange, I can offer you a drive in my Elise. I realize this is a large favor to ask and kind of a long shot, but I hope someone out there is kind enough to help me out. Feel free to shoot me a PM and we can work out the details.

Also, any tips on MT cars at local dealers would be greatly appreciated.

This the same Bob that bought Jon's 98 ITR? I doubt I'll be in the CLT area soon or you could drive mine, I wouldn't need a drive in the Elise, have had plenty of seattime in them already.
