2010 Lotus Evora problems

Common 2010 Lotus Evora problems

The Lotus Evora 2010 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues are primarily related to exterior design, transmission noise, mechanical components, and interior build quality.

• Exterior: The cosmetic roof panel of the Lotus Evora 2010 has a tendency to crack due to the expansion of fixings with heat. This issue is reported to be recognized by Lotus and is resolved by replacing the cosmetic roof panel and fixings.

• Transmission Noise: Some Evoras are reported to have higher than expected transmission noise at low speed in the lower gears, characterized by the sound of 'a rotating component binding on a metal casing'. This issue has been reported to be caused by poor quality throwout bearings in the clutch, and some owners have managed to get Lotus to address the issue under warranty.

• Mechanical: The clutch master cylinder design was improved upon for the Evora S, and can be retrofitted to the standard model if the original unit fails. Some have reported rare cases of failures of the early style clutch master cylinder, leading to a change of clutch pedal feel and an inability to operate the clutch. Anti-roll bar (ARB) bushes can dry out and cause knocking noises, particularly the front. Replacing these and properly lubricating them can solve the issue. Some earlier cars were reported to have less than accurate shifting, which was addressed by changing the gear shifts in the second half of 2010. However, this resulted in reports of some, over time suffering stiff or obstructive gear shifts, making some gears difficult to select. If customers complain of poor gear shift quality, then the cables can be adjusted both at the gearbox and gear linkage ends to improve gear selection, or replaced entirely.

• Interior: There are reports of poor build quality on the interior, particularly in early cars. The clips which hold down the passenger side airbag lid can sometimes fail, causing the lid to come loose. This issue has been reported to have been resolved in later cars.

It is important to note that while these issues have been reported by some owners, they are not necessarily common or guaranteed problems with the Lotus Evora 2010. Additionally, many owners have reported that the car is reliable and has caused them few issues.
