A beautiful car but I would struggle justifying that over a 400 unless it was as a collectors car to be tucked away rather than used.

I think that has to be a collectible. Big money to find but beats a bank account.

Murrays have one too - much cheaper (relatively) and someone else has done the running in.

Looked stunning when i was there a few weeks ago (but i'd still buy a 400)

For me, that GTE looks more aggressive as a supercar than the new 400- but appreciate its not all about looks.

Make sure you test drive it as long as you can.

I am on my 10th Lotus now and my Evora S was, by far, my least favourite :o

However, I realise this is the exception as opposed to the norm and its very much personal preference.

Lots of things.
There were about 10 faults from rotten gear change to no phone connection. Ultimately the gear change spoiled the car for me more than any other one thing. You had to wait a second or two above 6000rpm to go from snd to 3rd.
Craig did a good job sorting the faults but tbh I was never happy with the car.
I could forgive a 10k elise or even 25k exige but on a new Evora S it just wasn't forgiveable to have so many faults.
The fuel consumption was nothing short of shocking. 14mpg. 20mpg was a struggle on a slow steady long run.

It wasn't help by the fact that it mobilised itself on the way home from leeds after picking it up.

It was also too soft and to far removed from the S1 experience, but then its all subjective and I realise thatI am definitely in the minority.

Its also worth pointing out that it was a 2011 model so lots of things changed on later models I believe.
