10 days or so with an Evora - owners' tips?

[zebedee]

Sadly it won't be mine, but hey, next best thing! Collecting tonight and can't wait. Any tips/quirks or observations that will help me get up to speed or is it a pretty intuitive car?

[Sumshi]

No tips at all - if you have a "feel" for cars you should absolutely enjoy the Evora

When filling the car up with petrol, press the filler release button before getting out of the car!

The thing between the two buttons on the key is also a button. And it's the one which opens the car.

[zebedee]

how do you know if TA is on or not on the radio? The screen is on sat nav and when I press TA nothing changes! God the Sport button livens things up a bit doesn't it!

Just drive it.


You'll be doing 120mph down bumpy country lanes within about the first 4 minutes.


Very few cars are as settled, as resolved and as confidence inspriing on B roads.

Press 'Visual' at the top, and click 'Normal'

Then press TA and it should appear disappear, just above the button IIRC

TA radio ? I know nothing about this - I am too busy hanging on to the steering wheel and changing gear. How lucky am I !!
Such an undestated car - needs to be driven to appreciate , the cold light of day spec does not do the Evora justice

Agreed.

Here are my suggestions so far...

• Get the license plate moved above the front cil as it scuffs when parking in spaces that have concrete kurbs
• Re-flash the calibrations to the latest version

I'll add more as I encounter them.
