The 2018 Lotus Evora for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Lotus Evora for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2018 Lotus Evora, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the Evora
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
It runs the 3.5L 6-cylinder supercharged, with 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 36 litres, from its 12.0 L/100 km rating. In money, 1,000 km costs about $210 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Evora
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. Its 170 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who rents the Evora
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Evora is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Evora first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
