You can spend $20k on 'stuff' for these cars in an eyeblink. That's just a start. They can be economical to run. But if you own one keep a tight rein on mods and 'performance upgrades'. Those will cost ya.
It's a Lexus engine so totally reliable unlike other supercars. Rolls Royce use BMW, McLaren use AMG, maserati use ferrari and so on. All unreliable compared to a Lexus/Toyota.
I'd highly recommend full synthetic oil despite not driving the car over 7500 miles. Especially if you red line shift a lot or put the engine under stress. Sythentic protects the engine a lot better than standard oil.
although technically the original evora was called a supercar by various journalists including clarkson in his test of the evora which may be enough to qualify a car as a super car.
for me everything has started on a game when l purchased this amazing car and l liked it, at that step i decided l should own one, i'm 27 now a hairdresser for women and l've got 2 of them, one for me and one for my parents, if you really want a car, you'll always find a way to get it
I just passed on a one owner with 55k miles for 35k I'm kicking myself right now. I've wanted one forever and now my youngest is about to be driving so I could get away with something impractical.. the 2010 evora I looked at was perfect inside and out except for a nasty rach on the front lip. I wish I bought it now
If you pay a dealer for an oil change you're being ripped off. I changed the oil in my neighbor's 05 ford GT...it took an afternoon and 50 bucks worth of oil.
I would agree having kids will cost more, but if you budget and save you can still enjoy the things you want with a family. This Lotus cost the same as a fully loaded Camry so it's nothing out of the ordinary as far as an average price vehicle goes. But yes it was awesome to daily this for the time I had it!
You talked about the clutch wear on a Lotus. You shifter 10 times in the time span you talked about the clutch. Now I'm not trying to degrade your driving or anything. I would really like to see you work on that in the future because it can really cost you a lot of money in the future. I made mistakes driving manual in the past I still do. But shifting 10 times in that short time frame was fairly unnecessary and definately something you can work on.
Not sure how that makes a difference since at the time I was looking into the parts and oil I would need. So I was doing the research for how much it would cost..
*Talks about clutch* "If you're abusing it and going through the gears pretty crazy i think those are one of the cars that need to be replaced" Literally changed gear about 6 times in that one sentence just giving extra wear for fun.
Actually, today I went to see some Lotus Exige s, man what an awesome car. I think the exige is the way to go. and They hold their value pretty well How come you think it would be a downgrade for the 4c?
JoTokutora have you ever sat or drove a 4c? imo they're a 40k at best. build quality imo is junk. A friend of mine had an Exige S240, very nice car! if I were to go with an Alpha, I'd go with the Giulia Quadrifogli.
Thanks man, in the states they are asking 20k over MSRP. Not many out yet. But is just another sedan like the M3. I like the Exige because is rare and a raw. A car that doesn't devalue based on its tech, because there is none LOL. Here in the US, the exiges are pretty rare. The Elises are much more common, and although very similar, I like the stance of the lines of the Exige. I don't intent to track the car, more for canyon driving on weekends
JoTokutora I live in the states. anyone that pays dealer markup is a fool. plenty of dealerships out there that don't charge it. you just have to be willing to drive to it or have it delivered. my neighbor had to drive 8hrs to pick up a GT350 for sticker.
again....do the oil change yourself. here in dallas I would have had to pay $485 for the oil change at the dealer...I got a quote out of curiosity after doing it myself at a lotus racing shop that loaned me their lift. with a lift and air tools it will take you a half an hour and save you over $400 dollars
The more I watch your videos, the more im sold on the evora. never considered one until a couple days ago. do you feel it's pretty reliable with the camry-based engine? even with the clutch, overall maintenance seems less than a cayman, and somewhat more practical.
@@SPionxe213 The Lotus was a fun car, but I only had that for about 1 year! It was my only car so it was a daily! Not too bad, I even moved with it so had it packed full of stuff!
the issue is not the transmission or toyota engine, the problem is you must disassemble the entire rear of the car, the whole body has to come off. you cannot unbolt the tranmission until it is pulled out of the car with the engine. basically, this is an engine out job.
It's not a bad daily driver. And I never had issues with the car. It's just kind of cheap on the inside. Everything is velcro'd together and the nav is super out dated. A Cayman or F-Type might be a more refined choice. But the Evora is a ton of fun for performance driving, so check one out!
What a horrible video... It only tells us about his Forum reading... Typical forum reader- "i read you can go 7500 on synthetic oil" lol... Make a video when you have owned it for some time and can actually relate to the Name of the video.
To clarify, his oil filter is $40 because he’s buyin it from the dealer. You can easily get a similar quality filter elsewhere for like $5-15.
Since you know where to get them, Why don’t you add the link and save people the trouble of searching?
@@goldwolf0606 bingo!
@@ronin120 even Autozone carries them, and it is indeed $15.
sounds like it's more cost effective to maintain than a normal car...

$600 for P Zero tires set?!?!?! That’s way too cheap! No way it’s that cheap!
Anton Zuykov lotus evora has 19 inch front and 18 rear I believe, older evoras had 19 rear
6:20 the clutch, yup you're going to need to replace SOON. You shift around more than a 3 year old in church. =/
As much as he shifts. That clutch must be extra light.
Make sure you check the age of the tires. Old hard tires with low miles can still be dangerous.
Thanks for the tip, they check out to be good so far!
its a toyota camry just do it yourself

I will be doing full synthetic. I know that's what it has in it now.
Only fools use other than full synthetic in 21st century.
A set of tires for my crossfire cost me over $1000... and those were cheap...
Last thing, remember it is an exotic, not a super car =)
Lol yea!
although technically the original evora was called a supercar by various journalists including clarkson in his test of the evora which may be enough to qualify a car as a super car.
I payed for and modified my car I’ll call it what i damn well please thank you 😊

How much did u paid for one?

$40 for a camry oil filter? Is it different then normal camry oil filters?
Yes the words Lotus are engraved on it causing it to cost X5 more
Clutch and flywheel cost like 3500 installed. So clutch is like 2800. Get an aftermarket one, lotuss is the worst
I read on all the forums and even asked the dealer and I didn't see anything under 6k, doesn't mean its not possible just didn't see that.
The stock one is so overpriced and shitty, you can find better if you have to. Holler at me if you need help
Yea I wouldn't go stock, hopefully I don't need to do that, but thanks!
it appears that the 2010 correlation with clutch repairs had to do with people buying the demo models that were driven to death
+David Williams Yea I figured it had to do with how the car was driven, mine should be good over the next couple of years.
$40.00 for an oil filter? uh, if you you're spending half that then you're getting robbed.. should be closer to 1/4 that in almost any vehicle
I did the first oil change in this car. I bought the recommended Toyota oil filter for $7
Moe Sediqe i
Wait. This is about the cost of owning it and you haven't even owned it long enough to do an oil change? I'm not sure you're a qualified source then.
The world is based on speculation now. Lol
Not sure how that makes a difference since at the time I was looking into the parts and oil I would need. So I was doing the research for how much it would cost..

I am thinking on trading my 2017 BMW M2 for an Evora s or Alfa 4C. I am a sucker for the lotus
JoTokutora trading for the 4C would be the biggest downgrade decision you'll ever make in your life.
Actually, today I went to see some Lotus Exige s, man what an awesome car. I think the exige is the way to go. and They hold their value pretty well

Damn... my Kia Optima full coverage is double the price for your lotus.... maybe I’m gonna get a lotus 😂
Oh wow! Could be location, that's a much newer car too, lots of factors go into that!

btw I appreciate you taking time to showcase this awesome car. the evora is underappreciated and they are far more affordable than many think.
Oh yea, I'll be doing it myself for sure! I'll try to share every experience with it! They really are affordable I agree.

So far I've had no issues. About to pass 40k miles
I want to follow your tracks. I had a genesis coupe. Leased a mustang a year ago. When that’s up i want an evora
Cool man! Evora is a fun car for sure! I'm now onto the Audi R8 if you've seen my later vids
@@BrosFOURRSpeed nice I’ve seen a few random vids of yours. I’ll check out the r8 for sure!
@@SPionxe213 The Lotus was a fun car, but I only had that for about 1 year! It was my only car so it was a daily! Not too bad, I even moved with it so had it packed full of stuff!
19 Fooking bolts?!? To change the god damn oil???? Maybe I don’t want to buy this car 😂
Haha yeah, it's a bit of work, but not too crazy!
$6500 to replace a clutch on a Camry engine is nuts!
Can Toyota work on those cars?
I think it has an Aisin transmission, so probably not
the issue is not the transmission or toyota engine, the problem is you must disassemble the entire rear of the car, the whole body has to come off.
you cannot unbolt the tranmission until it is pulled out of the car with the engine. basically, this is an engine out job.
$40 is not bad for best oil filters i have paid $70 for it done on my r8
I. REALLY. WANT. YOUR. CAR!!!!
What is the price? My English is not that good ✌
How much did you pay for this car?
My guess is around 30k for the car without looking it up.
You can't get them that low yet, mid 40's and up.
I really dont appreciate the "in your dream" non-sense. be classy
You should get vossens
That would definitely be cool, maybe at some point!
Na HRE
is this an evora s or a normal evora?
It's the base.
Bros FOURR Speed i’m an average male and is it worth buying for daily driving?
It's not a bad daily driver. And I never had issues with the car. It's just kind of cheap on the inside. Everything is velcro'd together and the nav is super out dated. A Cayman or F-Type might be a more refined choice. But the Evora is a ton of fun for performance driving, so check one out!
I hate that tasteless and vile red interior! I'm in the market for an evora and several I've been interested in have had it. Sorry It's a dealbreaker.
