Luup alternative and the 2003 Lotus Esprit
Luup alternative and the 2003 Lotus Esprit: the figures first, then how to rent it from CarmaCars. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 44 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $77.19 at our price setting.
Space, size and seats
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
