Im only 6'1 and have a hard time fitting into a E36 M3. That thing was built for a short person. I can't imagine a lotus being able to be any more accommodating for height.

I've sat in one it was bad, I may only weigh 140, but in 6'3" and it was a rough time.

Doesn't have any "family" styling cues, which is really nice. When you see a 5th gen rumbling down the road it's undoubtedly a Camaro.

Unlike the new S550 which I literally never notice on the road unless it's right beside me. Just feels like another Ford economy box tbh, now the GT350 looks like an aggressive car but I doubt you'll see many on the road.

I managed to sit in a Lotus one time. I thought they were going to have to use the Jaws-of-Life to get me out. No, I don't fit.

I sat in one at a dealership (5'10" here) and it was cramped even for me. Also good luck getting out of it haha the door sills are huge and you sit very low.

The Evora is probably better. That's a $70k car though

I would pick a BMW 135/1M over the Evora. Mostly because the BMW will out run the Evora and make it look at its many poo chutes! God I miss Top Gear...
