Whilst i would love a Turbo, they are group 19/20 and about 3-4k more than an N/A.
Does the Turbo really warrent the extra costs involved???????

Its a better bet as an everyday car than the Elise (the roof is a less fiddly, the engine is smoother, more powerful and less prone to head faileur, it is quieter inside and has some everday equipment options like A/C, ABS, carpets ect). That said, as a track car, the more supple suspension and ABS make it less suitable. I guess you will already have discovered how acrobatic you need to be to get in/out of it LOL!! And forget about bringing any luggage with you.
Don't really know about the VXs common problems, only the engine is shared with the omega, but probably not that dissimilar to the elise.

Personally I love the angular agressive looks. It makes the Elise look toy-like :)
