Is the Esprit worth the extra $30,000 from an Elise.
And what is the differance between an Exige and an Elise.
I would greatly apreaciate some stats mabey and some advice.

The elise is a race car. The esprit is more luxury.
The elise is not $30,000. The BASE price is $42,000, equipped and out the door, around $51,000.
The fact the esprit is ceasing production doesnt make it worth more. The esprit has been outdated for years.
If you're seriously not sure if you want an Elise or an Esprit it sounds like you dont know what you're looking for. The Elise and Esprit are as different as Night and Day.
The only difference between an S2 exige and an S2 Elise with Sport Pack is the Exige has a wing and a front splitter. The ELISE is actually FASTER because it weighs less. Put a hardtop on the elise, get sport pack and you've got the same car except for the two points I just mentioned ie Wing and front splitter
