I test drove the GTR, but I just could not get past the ugly

Haha, 4 seats? You must be tiny!

Beautiful car man, make sure to get an exhaust on that thing and make it sound as good as it looks.

Just... the lamest thread ever

Couldn't handle super inexpensive sports car not being amazing. Spent 4 times as much to get something else... whatever dude

I really dont get if these were your criterias how you ended up with the FR-S in the first place... You basically bought the best low budget drivers car, hated it, then bought and more expensive and ever better drivers car to daily drive ? Why didnt you get an AMG or S7 if you want a fast automatic for shows as a daily driver...

Sad to see you go, but good looking car. Here is a tip .. let the new monograms owners know that you will be parting with your resistor/modifier. I can guarantee there will be someone looking to pick that up asap.

Nice car! I may be crazy but I'd keep my BRZ over a Lotus. My car has grown onto me. I'd find it near impossible to replace it with anything else...except maybe a white LFA.

Yes I spent more ... not nearly as much as you may think ... just under 60k (double the price, not 4x) and really AMG ... s7 ... common be real. You need to see one in person... then you'll understand.

I had an epiphany ... just buy what you really want ... not what makes since ... you'll be much happier

here is the link to the car for sale already:

Hey I'm not bashing your choice, it just seems that from your criterias, you don't seem to be looking for a track beast (Lotus) but more for a refined but brageable fast daily driver (hence why I said AMG, S Line or maybe M)

Evora isn't a track beast, it's Lotus way of selling a more suitable DD car to the masses to increase profits and overall sales volume.

His car is still a Toyota, look at the engine. Even that auto tranny...

Grats on the car, i see a white one on my morning commute often.

I stand corrected then. Always though all lotus were track beast. I had a friend whos dad bough him one and it was the worst DD.. It was an Elise though. I just dont get the ppint of an auto trans on that. Like PDK on new GT3... Stupid if you ask me.

That's how you sell DD sport cars, you put an auto. There are manuals one too, and the auto in this car is no joke as well...

You see, where Porsche fucked up is not offering both transmissions.

But that's another topic...

PDK might be faster than a manual.. Drove a Panamera Turbo (a big boat but still quick), was impressed with the transmission but to me it felt more like a CVT than a sport car...


Anyway, nice buy man, enjoy it to the fullest !!
