After making a deal over two weeks ago, my Evora has been up at the Lotus dealer getting a new AC condenser. Finally, I got the call and picked it up tonight!
My anticipation and excitement was dampened a bit when I noticed a few minor items that I hadn't noticed before - nor did my wife. I'm pretty detail-oriented and would have definitely noticed the munged up insulation and hose behind the rear window/firewall. The driver's side A frame pillar was cracked too. Little things, I know and the dealer said he'd handle them, but I wasn't thrilled by the fact that they weren't there before and I had to find them and call them out to my sales guy. Dealership management promised to take care of them, but it's annoying - especially after waiting two and a half weeks.
I also found the driver's side seat belt retractor isn't working and the passenger window doesn't auto-close all the way when closing the door (but will close all the way with the switch). Warranty items for sure - and I have a year left - but a bit of a pain nonetheless.
All that aside...I am so happy with this car! It handles incredibly well and is such a comfortable, well mannered car. I really see how it can be a daily driver. It is such great looking car too. I just went out to the garage to get a beer, opened the door and smiled...I had almost forgotten I what a bad ass, awesome car I now have in my possession. Can't wait to spend more time with it - and enjoy many more smiles - in the days to come.
