Lotus Maintenance

Here's a few more pics for your "lust"
KK Moto - What went wrong with yours? I have the same car and it's been pretty trouble free. I also had an S1 Exige and an Elise Sport 190, all flogged at the track hard and all pretty good cars. I will say that if I could only have one car it would be a Porsche, they are hard to beat for an all around great car.

(Going to glance at autotrader and ebay real quick...)
I think his experience with his Lotus is identical to mine with my 996 C2. It was an absolute nightmare until it ended with a sale/trade. Not because it was a bad model, just the individual car had problems...

I envy your pics, that's exactly what I planned to do.
Let's see, brief list: Speedo failure X2 with a eventual new console (forever branded incorrect miles), thermostat never worked: faster you go = cooler engine = lowers rev limit = go nowhere, leaking roof, interior upholstery simply decides to fall off, electrical short to turn signal and cigarette lighter, amongst others.

The leaking roof is a common problem but an easy fix with a simple adjustment of the windows. The other issues I have never heard of, especially the electrical ones since lotus have only 2 computers.

I was told by another Lotus Exige owner, that you can take your Lotus to a Toyota dealership for routine maintenance or warranty work.
Any truth to this?
Basically my choices for my next car are limited because of my location and the proximity to other dealerships. But if I could get the Lotus serviced locally, this would definitely open up my options.
