Known issues for the Elise and Exige S2
- Clamshell damage and repairs. The front and rear clamshells are costly to repair or replace and few are available in the US; look for cracks, poor repairs and uneven gaps. Affects Elise and Exige..Likely
- Rear toe links. The standard rear toe links are a weak point on track; uprated kits are common. Ask whether they have been replaced. Affects Elise and Exige S2 (Toyota engine)..Likely
- Oil starvation on track. Sustained hard cornering can starve the Toyota 2ZZ's bearings; owners who track the car often overfill slightly or fit baffles. Affects Elise and Exige with the Toyota 2ZZ, 2005-2011..Likely
