I wouldn't say the GTR is like both an M3 and Elise/Exige.
Although in some ways, it's a bit in between.
The GTR gives up some of the involvement that you'd have in an M3 (loss of manual), but you gain some feedback (more road feel than an M3)
Compared to the elise/exige, the GTR is more capable.
It's a faster car. Very stable. Very composed. So much so that it can feel like you're going really slow, when you're going really fast.
(Although the transmission will 'disagree' with you time to time and reject what you ask it to do.)
It's a car that 'gets it done'.
Between the GTR and the elise/exige, the elise/exige is more involved, better feedback, better steering, it's really the car for the kid inside you.
The elise/exige is more telepathic. Every bump comes through your seat, every rock comes through the steering wheel. Every little tweak of the wheel gives you an immediate nudge in the side of your seat.
And best of all, it's so light that it can deliver all of this 'feeling' with soft spring rates. It will go over a pothole or train track with little drama.
(It's always touching you, but never beating on you. IMHO a perfect balance.)
It's a more fun car to drive.
