My fiancé, at 6 feet, did not fit in it at all. He wanted one so bad but he was biting his knees in the passenger seat. It was pretty on the outside, but I was not horribly impressed.
You test drove it for the very wrong reasons then.

The whole appeal of the Elise is that it's a bare bones no creature comforts sports car. It's everything a sports car should be - light, nimble, fast and no driver aids. The Crossfire is the complete opposite of that spectrum.

If you don't like blasting thru tight turns while bouncing off the rev limiter and feeling every inch of the pavement, the Elise is NOT the car for you.
