  • hey everyday driver its the last gen celica engine not corolla engine, and your guys job is2know cars? BWAAAAAA HAAAAAAA

  • @891trigfoot - You'll note that the video review (:30) mentions the Celica engine. Obviously, the Celica isn't made anymore. When another poster mentioned the current Camry as the source, we mentioned the Corolla for a current car (but less correct) reference and that's obviously caused more confusion. Our apologies. The video itself is correct.

  • This car uses a Toyota Camry engine in the U.S. so this car gets good mileage and its also one of the most reliable sports cars on the market.

  • @sadmancho - It's actually the EVORA that has the Camry engine. The Elise has the Corolla 4cylinder.

    But you're right... the result is MPG and reliability better than most dedicated sports cars.

  • @EverydayDriver this uses the Celica engine.

  • @1HGClark - Yes, you are correct. You'll note that the video review itself (:30) mentions the Celica engine as the source for the Elise. Obviously, the Celica isn't made anymore. We mentioned the Corolla for a current car (but less correct) reference and that's obviously caused more confusion. Our apologies, we shouldn't have done that. The Celica engine is the best answer and if you've watched the video you've probably seen that mentioned.

  • Lotus Elise is 1.8cc VVT Toyota Corolla RunX Engine!!!!

    180bhp

  • They should start using the Honda S2000 engine in Elise's. That would be awesome!

  • it can have spikes in the seats for all i care, the seats can be made from garbage bags and old socks for all i care but when i see the car and when i idrive it i simply wont care.

  • ''can u see the smile on my face?'' = facepalm

  • @uummmnocoolnames would love to see the ajp straight six powering an elise. An awesome combination.

  • WONDERS what a Corolla engine can do rather than being blunt and dull grandma carriers :O
