Wow! So when are you gonna do a comparison post, Riley? I know we're not exactly talking apples-to-apples but you know how it works from the watch world (AP vs. Panerai, etc.).

"So anyways, let's get down to the nitty gritty... Who is this Encarnación?"

I went down to test drive one of those, but couldn't fit inside.

Definitely only for very tiny people.

Yes. Very cool car. But, I could not fit either. 6'2 175. Not that I am huge. I guess I should have been a contortionist.

This is disappointing. I've always wanted to drive an Elise or Exige, but now am wondering if it will be too small to drive comfortably - I'm 6'1 170, so also not huge, per se, but do those of a similar height know if it's doable?

Try one with the roof off. That might work.

With the roof on it's a non-starter for me.

You "big" guys are killing me. I'm 6'1" and 220 and I was able to get in to/out of an Elise only banging my knee once. Not comfortable enough for long driving stints, but wasn't 100% too tight either. The only thing I absolutely couldn't fit in was a GT3 Cup car once - I was able to maneuver through the roll cage, but the carbon seat was sized for someone about 150 lbs and killed my hips to try and sit in it.

Good to know - thanks

And yeah, @Dottore, good point about the Elise, the convertible is probably that much comfier.
