Introduced in 2011, the Evora aimed to address a problem people had with one of Lotus’ most popular models, the Elise. Namely, it simply wasn’t practical enough for day-to-day driving, and with limited luggage space, it wasn’t good if you needed to take something large with you, either.
But Lotus ensured that the Evora still steered and acted as well as the Elise, which is why it was equipped with all manner of mechanical upgrades. Today, it represents a solid used buy for someone after a sports car with a little more practicality.
