Eric Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Biggest problem for the Evora is the Cayman, especially the Cayman S (and now the Cayman GTS). The Evora is just too expensive and compromised compared to a similarly spec.ed Porka. I'm a massive Lotus fan but the Evora really needs a 10 grand price drop to make it properly attractive.

chris_h Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 But the cayman doesn't have the seats in the back for kids, so well priced compared to a 911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4N Lotus Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 , cayman will become like the boxster, a few years down the line and it will lost near all it's value through depreciation , every female hair dresser has a caymen these days. Infact I've never seen a man drive a cayman. you only need to look at s1 Elise's vs similar age boxster. Lotus going for 8-12k , porky going for 3-5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanB Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I could really dig an Evora in the same red as Erics exige with a black roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislane Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Biggest problem for the Evora is the Cayman, especially the Cayman S (and now the Cayman GTS). I'm convinced it is a better handling car than the Cayman (just) . But porsche does everything else very very well, so for most people the Cayman (or a 911) will win the day. I wouldn't swap mine though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyfox Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Any of you ever owned a Porsche then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanB Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Chris is far too well mannered to say so but his dad currently owns a very fine Porsche indeed. I suspect it's not his first either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyfox Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have owned 3 from new Dean, best ownership ever from hand over to dealer customer service, everything was perfect. I really couldn't make a comparison to the Evora but if the experts say a Cayman is better I'm inclined to believe them especially if they actually take the time to give the reason why. Saying that I think the Cayman is better looking, has a better interior and is probably a better ownership proposition but I'd rather own an Evora, that's a real hairdressers car, right there ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you will be allowed to drive it from Devonshire Arms on the Sunday morning run?
