New to the forum. I have narrowed down to owning an Evora S 2+2 in the near future. Not in a huge hurry so I'll keep searching for the right one for the right price. (also have to go to the local dealer and do a test fit with my 2 kids 6 and 9 in the back).
All the ones I see that are anywhere from 11-14 with 4K - 20K miles.
I wanted to know what year (NA or S) you have, how long have you owned it and how many miles are on it?
I plan on DD this car with roughly 17K miles a year.
I've searched but could not find a thread with this information.
Welcome to the forum! You'll definitely find a wide range of mileage with the members here. I like to think of myself as a moderate user. I bought my NA IPS MY13 in October of 2013 brand new. I have just over 14K on the car right now. Keep in mind, for my climate, I have to store the car for the winter. Also, my insurance that I have on the car limits me to 7,500 miles a year. I use the car as a weekend warrior/special occasion car and not a DD. The Evora is a fun car and hopefully you find the one you're looking for!
could you explain your special insurance and why you got it? is it because you store it during the winter time so it would be cheaper to get that special insurance?
Assuming you are in the US, pretty much all insurance is based on some annual mileage. For the most part, they default to 12-15k miles per year. However, if you know you'll be driving less, you can talk to your agent and negotiate a much lower rate based off of a lower annual mileage. It makes sense: fewer miles driven = statistically less chance of wrecking. Heck, it is something to look into if your daily commute is short or you don't drive much anyways.
2014 NA, daily drove it for the first year and put about 4800 miles on it. I just picked up a secondary vehicle to use on rainy days and weekend hiking/camping adventures. This will bring this year's mileage down a bit.
2010 NA had ~12000 miles when sold 7/11-3/14
2011 S has ~12000+. I usually drive the summer car 5000-7500mi/yr depending on track trips to Glen etc. They just run like their Toyota donated powerplants are designed to do.
What kind of winter do you deal with? I am giving the Evora a serious look for my next car and wondering how it handles in the snow with winters on. I have driven a G35 coupe, STS-V and currently a XF Super as daily drivers with winter tires. I figure it would be similar to my G35, but it's probably 600 pounds lighter.
I have a 2011 naturally aspirated with about 48k miles, probably half transcontinental trips and half just bumming around town. Other than a transmission failure, I haven't had any showstopping problems and wouldn't hesitate to take it on another long trip-- with tools in the trunk, though!
I bought my 2010 NA Evora a year ago last month. It had 4593 miles when I picked it up. I took it in to Performance AutoWerks today for the spring oil change and came home with 11,290 miles on the odometer. And I have not had one problem. What a delight to drive!
22K Miles 2011 NA, owned for 4 years since new. DD on and off.. My other car, the i3 is also so much fun! The Evora is great with kids.. smaller kids can sleep in the back with the seat belt on.. Took two kids hiking in a national park (100 miles) in the Evora last weekend. Not possible with any other car in its class.
