Thinking of buying the 2011 Lotus Evora?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Lotus Evora for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2011 Lotus Evora, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Evora
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 10.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 31 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $182 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. The EPA lists 57 litres for luggage, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
When the Evora makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the Evora tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Evora for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.20 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Ready to ask?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Lotus Evora from us first.
