Controls and switches are illuminated.   Unlike some Lotus cars, there are floor mats, accent lighting, and electric mirrors.   Air conditioning and power windows are standard.   The steering wheel tilts and telescopes.   The rear window is made from insulated, double-glazed glass, filled with Argon gas, and it has a defroster.  

Entry and exit are made easier compared with the Elise by a lower sill and a wider door opening, although the seat is definitely low to the ground.   Seats are firm but not hard, with appropriately wide side bolsters.   The seats are adjustable, unlike those in the Elise.   Brief door storage bins have small recesses that might serve as cup holders.  

There is a surprising amount of front legroom and headroom.   As a 50th percentile male, I had to adjust the seat well forward to reach the clutch bottom.  

Our test unit had the Technology Package, which includes an upgraded Alpine audio system with additional amplification.   Two 6.25-inch two-way speakers, dash-mounted tweeters, and a separately amplified 150-watt subwoofer deliver sound.   We have to admit, we never thought about turning it on, although we did drive with the map illuminated on the Navigation System screen.   Full connectivity for iPod touch, Nano and other models is standard with a dock connector, and there is also a standard Aux input.   Bluetooth wireless and USB jacks are part of the optional Technology Package.  

Even though the above equipment transforms the interior into a more refined, everyday driving space, it does add weight.   The Evora is about 1000 pounds heavier than the smaller, spartan Elise two-seater.   But the Evora interior doesn't look unfinished, or like a car that someone tore everything out of to make a faster autocrosser.   Nor does it look like a kit car.   It has the look of a premium car, hand built, by people who care about what they are doing.
