Which gives the bigger :-)

Two completely differnts cars but both give the same silly grin every time you get in to them.
Neither would I change, the C43 with all its refinement yet power which pulls nicely all the way to the limiter (I'm guessing.... stopped a tad before the limiter) combined with the tone from the sports exhaust.

But then the wee Lotus, a lot cheaper, nowhere near as fast but get it on the twisties and she is off, basic engineering and design (no frills) and the car feels like a go kart round the bends, harder she's pushed the more she grips.

For handling the Lotus,
for everything else the Merc.

. . If its grin-factor then the Lotus all day long.
But both offer vast amounts of different types of pleasure I'm sure. (that just reads all wrong!)

Pretty much sums it up to be fair Even with the fancy 4WD of the Merc

I nkow what you were meaning lol

The Lotus certainly doesn't get the award for easiness for getting in and out

Not seen many c43’s on the road, looks great. I can imagine the lotus is literally like a go kart. Two great machines.
