I've done the Lotus thing, and you can't fault them except for comfort. I must be getting old though and a little comfort is winning over ultimate performance everytime.
You're not the only one.
All of my old riding buddies ask me why I would buy a fast car like this when I've owned some of the fastest motorcycles in the world (Aprilias, Ducatis, MV Agustas, etc.) that would put cars like this to shame in terms of speed.
I tell them that I like the cars more now because as I get older I find that comfort is something I really value. I like being able to go fast in a car on a hot day with the A/C on, sitting in a nice plush seat, listening to good music, and mostly just relaxing.
You can have the fastest toy in the world, but if it isn't comfortable, I think there's something to be said for that.
