Phenomenal car that is perfect for the island between the awesome color, the removable top, the surgeon's scalpel level of handling, and the connectedness you have between your inputs & the car's response. Everything is direct, between the shifter, the steering wheel, and the pedals. Which makes driving so rewarding because you become conscious of how everything you do, the car translates to the road due in part to the car tipping the scales at a mere ~1,900 pounds. There are so many great roads on Maui for which this car is at home on, with switchbacks, off-camber esses, and dips & crests. With the super sticky tires, I was carving corners at unbelievable speed and no doubt pushing past 1g regularly with minimal effort. What's interesting is that even though this is a road-going track car, the ride is shockingly complaint all things considered. Also, very important to note for my fellow car enthusiasts who are on the athletic & tall side that yes you WILL fit in this car. I'm just over 6'2" with fairly broad shoulders and I had zero issues even with the top on (not that you'll do much, if any, driving with it on).
Make no mistake, this car requires a deft & capable driver because if you run out of skill you WILL find yourself in deep shit as the car has ZERO electronic safeties besides a limited traction control system. With the way with which the weight transfers, you can EASILY upset the balance in a corner by unloading a tire prematurely, improperly trail brake, or worse yet induce snap oversteer. But in all honesty you should not find yourself in that position, because it would mean you're driving beyond your abilities. If you are, you're disrespecting the car and worse yet you're disrespecting the owner.
Speaking of, David is a helluva of a gearhead and very enjoyable to talk shop with. I spent a good chunk of time going over the car with him before leaving, and it made the experience all the better because of it. I feel like I made a friend on the island, and when I return to Maui in the future I know I'll come back to take the Elise for a spin again. Mahalo for making my first trip to the island such a kick-ass time!

“Gear head, petrol head, goofball entrepreneur that would rather play with grown up toys than do a real job!! Been on Maui 17 years and still love it...come on...it's paradise!! Never been able to get over the sight of Thomas Magnum in his 308 cruising the streets of Oahu, just believe everyone should be able to have a similar experience here on island!”
