  • lotus is the supreme ruler of all cars (in my opinion of course)

  • Why are people so snobby about Vauxhall badges?!?!?!?! Since the Astra in 2004 they havn't built a bad or disapointing car since... Plus they are as reliable as anything out there and cheaper than the equivilant Ford or VW.

  • This car, i tested a few years ago. It was memorable! :) So the Lotus 111R is very impressive for me since then. :) Just like a go-kart with brilliant driving experience. :) Aluminium materials almost everywhere. ;) But don't tell more news of this car. :)

  • hes a beast of a driver

  • 500bhp way too much, 300ish is about the threshold for a quick well balanced Elise/vx

  • @jespurrier seriously...you could also replace the engine with some japenese inline 4 or 6 and mod it up to upwards of 500 horsepower for not much more...it would be like owning a ferrari caliber car for under 25 grand

  • @redghost105 Yeah you know what, I would buy a vx220 turbo for that money. Thats a hell of a lot of fun for not that much cash!

  • @jespurrier they go an average of 8 or 9,000 pounds...pretty damn good for the money

  • Lotus is a better car had an S1 and will be going back to S2 shortly .. Put wider tyres on the front and it will reduce all that understeer and give a bit more oversteer.. Lotus know how to build a chassis and always have done.. Why do you think vauxhall get lotus to make the car for them?? Lotus is far better looking too!! Personal choice I know

  • VX220's are easier to mod, easier to service, cheaper to run, look for manly, cheaper to insure - the worst part is that they're built by lotus.

    if lotus gave the car to vauxhall and they built it it wouldnt fall apart.

    Getting my vx in a few months and i cant wait to hunt down all the toffs in their slow little lotus'.

  • The elise does have a better setup with it's wheels,

    the vx220 has bigger front wheels and slimmers tyres, a good upgrade is to put the same wheels sizes on as the lotus, just as they intened vauxhall put the bigger ones on for looks...

  • Drove 'em both back-to-back before I picked my winner. Which was the VX220. It's much easier to maintain, I think it looks nicer, and being a Vauxhall it's not a "oh look at that idiot in his fancy showy car" - which is what my old Subaru was by the bucketload.

    Plus if you know how to drive a VX, they're more than capable of upsetting a 111R on the track.
