Hi all,

Anyone driven both these cars?

I'm considering moving from a M Coupe to an Evora...

Took the Evora out for a test drive at Lipscomb Lotus, Kent. Met a guy called Paul, who kindly took me for a test drive.

Paul is a top salesman, who really knows his cars, can drive really well also smile

Thought the car overall was fantastic. Handles well and goes quick. The pedle layout has been critised, but I really like it. Takes a little getting used to, but it's great for heel 'n toe. The gearbox was fine also and gear changes were done without any fuss. Thought the driving position was excellent and the drive over uneven roads was handled well by the suspension. Was surprised at the speed we could take corners, a real eye opener for me - fantastic!

Really liked the car. Not enough to chop in the M Coupe, but I am still tempted to get one. Plans need to be made.

Agreed the standard M Coupe is wallowy. But with suspension upgrades is a great car. Try one and you'll see....

It was Top Gear car of the year in 1998..

Top Gear is a good comedy programme.
But then I believe Z3 is good fun, different layout from Evora though.

It's the same comedy programme that rates the Evora highly.

Anyway, it was Tiff Needel who rated the M Coupe....
