I agree, been a good thread. Well i enjoyed it as these are cars on or near my radar. Certainly all but that old knacker (sorry keith, kidding) hit a lot of my requirements.

I think, ultimately i'll swap the E92. For another newer one with DCT. The car has grown on me a lot in the last year but as Rog predicted i cant enjoy the manual, its not a drivers box imo.

Its that or i wait for the new M5 to drop in dollar a bit. But i have a feeling its one step too big for me.

Fnnnar. Look deeper ye who once swore manual was not an issue. This is an ideal spec/age/price point An ideal spec/age/price may never appear in your quite rare colour. Actually MB's might have been ideal in a whiter shade of pale grey. Not sure if that many comp packages are sold here to choose from? Oh and don't forget to check the satnav/iDrive software level has the proper UK post code support. I was right about DCT

You see, Lotus say this too though. But I still think they are lying!

I don't think i've ever heard complaint about Evora S not having a LSD... does 'sound' wrong, but there's nobody better at handling than Lotus.
