Automotive - Really appreciate the owner's eye view, especially with the direct

Really appreciate the owner's eye view, especially with the direct

comparisons with the Elise.

I've been tempted, and now, knowing the Evora is more "livable with" without sacrificing (too much) of the driver's feel and traction (it seems you feel it is actually improved?) certainly higher up on the probability list.

I'm looking forward to a ride someday!

Enjoy, and looking forward to an update.

ps: were the "issues" with the Elise - ergos, shifter, etc - a large part of the reason for the change?

I've never driven any Lotus, but after watching your videos, I'm sure it's a lot of fun! Some interior photographs would be nice!

excellent review of what seems to be an excellent car.

if it didnt have idiosyncrasies it wouldnt be a Lotus and the good thing is that they are all in the cabin instead of the drivetrain or bodywork. thanks Don. best Graham

the wind noise of the Elise I found very tiring. And the Evora motor noise very pleasant. This change wasn't really planned at all 'though. It just sort of happened :) Don
