I cant claim to have been in or driven many great drivers cars but I fully agree with you,
the Recaro's in the DC2 and pretty much every JDM Type-R especially, are just brilliant.
My brother had a few EK9's back in the day and it was a very special little car as well.
At least if you get an Elise you will have had a little bit of practise owning a raw car with the DC2,
but it might look fairly luxurious next to what Lotus considers a habitable car .
