You have to be a Lotus fan to put up with the build problems.
I am on my second Evora (8th Lotus overall) and I sold my first one partly because of little annoying issues.
The one I have now is on its third door sensor. Car only has 1900 miles.
Battery was going dead with prior owner and now has new battery.
Also new dash is on its way....
Washer fluid bottle leaking....
Steering wheel donut "recall" being done.....
Trunk latch repair...
Front lotus badge chipping and going to be replaced.....
Most people would not put up with this. The car will be at the dealer for 2-6 weeks! And to make matters worse they buggered up the nose. See my other thread:

When I was at the dealer, another Evora owner spoke with me about having had similar issues. He was extremely frustrated as he knows nothing about Lotus and thought he was all alone with the many issues. He said he is so ready to get rid of the headache but really loves the drive. Most other sports car owners would not accept these hassles.
My dealer is part of Cadillac. The main service manager and I joked, "Imagine if GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc. had the same issues?" Just think if every person that bought a new car expected to have a "punch list" of issues that need to be dealt with at the 1000 mile service. When we bought our Honda Odyssey, I would have been shocked if the dash had to be replaced, trunk would not open, battery drained, door sensor/latch did not work, washer fluid bottle leaked, windows leaked, stereo did not work well, steering wheel loose due to missing donut, transmission crunchy, and the Honda badge peeled off all before 1000 miles!:facepalm
But yet I still love Lotus:UK:
