		<description>As a toy car lotus evora may make more sense but as a car it really fails in many areas within consideration of the price. 

For example,

Badly designed ergonomics and abundant usage of substandard materials that comprise the interior.

Poor use of space, lack of creature comfort and SAFETY features.

Really people might argue that its a sports car and no one cares about the interior, build quality and refinement as long as it drives well. 

Well I AGREE COMPLETELY IF THE CAR IS FREE or cheap but since for most people money does not grow out of their backs dont you just want value for money? At least something more than handling? At least if its going to have those bad things then make it go fast, say sub 4 seconds or close to 4?

Lotus evora is a really laughable as a concept altough I must say the exterior looks mighty fine. 

The thing is, say if I have 200k o spend on cars would I purchase it? Well considering there are soo many other BETTER cars out there, NO. After all in the end ANY CAR COMPANY can make expensive bare boned sports cars if they want to but not many can make quality refined ones with the right price.

Sure a fan of LOTUS might love it and others might love it but loving something DOES NOT MAKE IT GOOD OR EVEN BETTER in reality. Sure it turn heads but so do dumb blondes with no substance besides looks and so do those hoons cars with overly vulgar rice kit.

It&#039;s just a toy car like lotus elise or exige with a little more cushioning on the seats to fool gullible rich people.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t wait to get mine,  have one reserved coming next week..  I drove a silver Evora last week (solo) and it is every bit as great as expressed in this review.  

Generally, enthusiasts judge cars purely by the numbers (price, performance), and discount the emotional impact a car has on the buyer..

This car &quot;does it&quot; for me.  It&#039;s my dream car and I&#039;m about to OWN IT!! Performance, looks, exclusivity, and price are all factors that have contributed to my decision to buy.  

This car will give me far more enjoyment than any of you will ever know.

If one judges the car solely on individual merits, it may seem overpriced.  But he who judges a recipe simply by the ingredients list clearly has not tried it.

That which dictates the &quot;better&quot; car is you--- not metrics.</description>

		<description>A BMW M3 vs Lotus Evora

Which one has better build Quality? M3
Which one is more refined? – M3
Which one has more features – M3
Which one has a better engine? – M3
Which one is faster? – M3
Which one is more practical? – M3
Which one is more comfortable? – M3
Which one is rarer? – Evora

Simple choice: Evora any time it&#039;s quick enough, rare and it looks like a super car a real head turner!!( the M3 does Not!).looking forward to the supercharched Evora though!</description>

		<description>150k for this car?? No thanks. It&#039;s an Kluger engine after all. I would get the GT-R or even the Bathurst Evo over this anytime.</description>

		<description>Since when are sports cars supposed to have luxury and practicality? It shows how far car makers have gone from what a sports car should be. The idea that anyone would compare a BMW to a Lotus shows that they might not really &#039;get&#039; sports cars. The fact that Lotus&#039;s now come with ABS and Airbags is something I find slightly disappointing - too much extra weight for too little value. Apart from that, this Evora looks to be the perfect sports car.</description>

		<description>Dear oh dear, such tunnel vision from the M3 owner, and that talk from a chap who hasn&#039;t even driven an Evora!

You best read my review of the car, rather than rely on pre-conceived notions you have of the car. &quot;not comfortable&quot; well you&#039;re flat out wrong there old mate, the Evora is as comfortable as it gets when you&#039;re on the pace in the twisty sections.

I won&#039;t deny, the M3 is a brilliant piece of kit (one of my favourites in fact), but to start knocking a sports car as good as a the Evora without ever having driven a single kilometre in the car is where you&#039;re credibility hit ground zero.</description>

		<description>PETER to me cars are not toys, maybe to some overly rich guys but not to me. 

Mind you I was only using M3 as an example I could have used porsche cayman S, etc. I own an M3 but I don;t have an Evora for obvious reasons. A human creation is subjected to individual perspective so you’re right in a way that my word will not hold true for everyone. Having said that, there is “better” and “worse” in terms of describing cars especially for the purpose of comparisons.

To me it’s purely illogical for a sports car within the price range such as lotus Evora to not have the luxury and practicality features that all of its competitors have. Lotus elise and exige are fun cars no doubt about it, however, they were designed to be that way, which is reflected in their absolute minimal features. Lotus Evora I think unlike the exige or elise is a bit confused in its design. It is not very practical nor fast nor comfortable nor innovative so what is it trying to achieve? Exige and Elise are rich men plaything but Evora..what about Evora? BTW I heard that the interior of Evora is even worse quality than an evo and that is simply unacceptable…

Cars are unlike human beings…they can be compared and there are wrong and right, better and worse. The prove of this fact would be the existence and popularity of car reviews.</description>
