I know a few people here have or had an Elise. Do you have any difficulty getting out and in the car when parking between 2 other cars? If you parallel park you can swing the door wide open, but when you park side by side how do you get out? Is it possible with the roof in place?

It's easy enough if your young and are fairly limber. But if your a large of frame or have dodgy knees then you might have some difficulty.
I never had any problem getting out of my old elise with the hardtop on, but then i'm a tall skinny lad.

ask shortie, he's a big frame 6'4 and on his second elise and the car park at the office can be quite tight..
