More than a few Elise drivers are no more competant drivers than the guy alongside them in a Vectra. Just because they bought one neither means they're in the upper echelons of ability nor does their opinion automatically become definitive. Once you've gone down the stripped out route á la VX/Exige etc, then sportsbike or Caterham is the only way to go to get a more "raw" feeling.
Is the 355 as chuckable or light on its feet as an Elise? Of course not.
It is, however, a vastly superior product.....and I've driven lots of them.

I love the Cayman S - I had a spin (and a cheeky drive of one) in one earlier this year. Much more fun than the 911, but a bit more grown up than the Boxster. Great purchase! One day... one day....

The Cayman is far better looking than the Boxster, which is a hideous car from the 'B' pillar to the rear of the car.

I disagree, there are some nicely kitted boxster s around which are incredibly good cars (from a handling point of view, sharp chassis, responsive and communicative - and surprisingly easy to deal with considering the weigh distribution) - but I guess it's a marmite thing - but I tend to like the look of cars that most people don't
