Buying an Evora
Discussion
I'm looking at buying an evora and would appreciate a bit of advice. Previous cars have been elise 111R, exige S and most recently a TVR sagaris. All were used as daily drivers (about 12k miles a year)
Firstly the running costs, what sort of mpg are people getting? and also realistic servicing intervals/costs. i.e things like clutch lifespan and replacement costs
what are the weak points of the car? Every car has them! Typical insurance?
I really appreciate any help and advice as I'm really excited to get back into a lotus after a couple of years without one.

I loved my sagaris but it proved to be too much of a handful for daily use - especially in the snow(there's a little patch of oil on my drive where it lived 
) the exige was remarkably good in winter....I drove the evora on release, but was tempted by the exige scura but plumped for the sagaris instead. I plan on buying second hand from a dealer for peace of mind. Also got really inflated insurance quotes almost double the ridiculously rare and powerful sagaris, can't really see why.

Making me miss my sagaris so much! Awesome combo of a TVR and evora, always found that my sagaris had the brutality and presence that my exige s lacked.
Want to get a bit more usability in my daily drive though, so I think the evora will be perfect for me. What's it like with an aftermarket exhaust on? I don't expect it to sound like the sag (which always sounded better that any fezza, porker or aston imo) but would like it to sound a little fruitier than I does. The stage 2 exhaust on the exige made a world of difference.
