===Interior Build Quality===

Some reports of poor build quality on the interior, particularly in early cars.

===Poor fitting passenger airbag lid===

The clips which hold down the passenger side airbag lid can sometimes fail, causing the lid to no longer sit flush over the airbag module. These clips are designed to break when the airbag is deployed, and so the failure should not a safety issue and should not affect the operation of the airbag.<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5970707 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Which Evora model is this?]</ref>

These clips can be replaced to remedy the issue, however doing so involves removing some parts of the dash and given the implications of working around the airbag are best carried out by an approved Lotus Service Centre.

===Recaro seat wear===

The Evora comes equipped with Recaro Sportster CS seats as standard and there has been a report of these showing signs of wear even early in the cars life<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=303857 SELOC Forums: Evora S - 3 months in]</ref>.

These seats are also used in other cars such as the Mk2 Ford Focus RS where they have exhibited similar issues, suggesting this is a quality control issue for Recaro.

Lotus appear to be willing to replace seats that have shown excessive wear under warranty, however this is not guaranteed.

Others have reported positive results using [http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm Gliptone Liquid Leather Scuffmaster] to dye the seats where they have worn<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=350508 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora Seats - Leather not as durable as I thought]</ref>.

===Door Scuff Plates===

The early cars also suffer from premature wear on the sills by the door where the material scuffs easily due to people getting into or out of the car. This can be solved by either installing scuff plates (as per the later cars) or inserting material like a kevlar weave section into the sill trim. This will solve the issue.
