Indeed. First time I drove away from Hethel's gates it felt akward (and I caught the wrong gear), afterwards I didn't find myself spending much thought on the gearchange. It was far from horrible, just... undistinguished.
Funnily enough the first thing I did was struggle for 1st - it was just a FRACTION further away than I'd ideally like. But I think that was partly my seating position wasn't quite right and my Elise has a short shifter. After the first time I just changed how I held the stick slightly and no problems.Nice car, but over priced.
It has to be better than the Porsches in all areas to justify the price, not just in the ride and handling stakes. When you spend over 50k on a car it comes down to the whole package. Lotus haven't nailed this.
I was very dissatisfied with the quality the Evora when I went to view it, looked and felt low rent and poorly finished item. Didn't even bother test driving the thing, even though the sales man was offering like his life depending on it.
It doesn't matter to buyers if it was built in small volumes by a keen bunch of lotus engineers on a tight budget, alarm bells start ringing when normal people hear this sort of thing .
