To those who think this is a “fun little car” or quirky or ugly, dont pass judgment until you have been in one.

power of a supercar, handling of a go-kart. pure driving bliss…

other cars mentioned in opinions dont even compare… how do i know this. I am one of the lucky people that have the pleasure of driving a clubman every day.

One of my favorite cars.

Still rather the Aussie Elfin T5.

All good here!

Yes Will, whatever. Driven them all have you so you could come up with that conclusion?

Agree Frontman, this was not meant to be pretty. Classic Colin Chapman design copied the world over. For those who don’t know (and there will be plenty because it’s not Australian) Colin Chapman started Lotus.

Go the little Elfin clubman anyday, the local product is better.

Sam R, I won’t vote you down for thinking it’s ugly…. it was never designed to be pretty. The original idea behind the Seven (lotus was the original) was to supply a vehicle that had teh bare neccesitys for registration as a daily driver, whilst being a thinly disguised race car. Back in those days just about anyone could partake in track days and or hill climbs every weekend, but not everyone could afford two cars.

Caterham (and Westfield) have essentially kept the vision alive whilst improving the breed 100 fold…

In my opinion it’s nice that this kind of car is produced in our present time, it’s actually great that vintage cars are being introduced once again. Is it really vintage?

Well, I suppose that people need something to cheer them up in these times. I think that if I was buying a car this simple though, despite it being a different class, Id rather an Elise.
I think it looks great, espcially with that colour combination.

Sorry guys, at the risk of incurring multiple negative votes I got to admit that in my opinion this is one of the ugliest cars I’ve ever seen.

If I was iafter a lightweight open top single-seater I would go for an Aerial Atom.
