I agree, as I have one. The Elise has very hard suspension and does make a lot of noise when you have the roof on, although, with it off, it's quieter. Since I'm never going to get a test drive of the M2 before I order one I'm very interested in what people have to say about the suspension and noise compared with the Elise. I must say I've never felt the need to wear earplugs though ! I was surprised at the comments about the Exige because that would be very similar to the Elise (same engine, suspension).
