Yes, the Evora is very nice. It all stacks up well on paper and in the drive. A couple of things have niggled with me though with how they can wear over time. Still definitely a contender. The one that really interests me now- particularly as it's smack bang between getting panned by new car owners wanting a pretty car and failing the daily driver thing....and reasonably quickly being recognized as the 'Modern Dino' by second hand buying proper enthusiasts- is the Alfa 4C. They by all accounts are reliable too. Carbon, simple, and I bet you can work on them yourself. No doubt share lots of parts with stupid cheap Alfa mainstream cars that devalue to nothing and provide lots of grommets and switches. Perfect!! Haven't driven one yet (I have driven the base Evora). I should shut up
Edit to add some more info-
There are very few Evora's in NZ. Despite them being advertised as '2015 model' etc when they rarely come up for sale, I'm sure bar a couple I've seen, they are all 2010 manufacture going by the VIN code. The later ones, 400 etc are awesome no doubt but expensive. Alfa 4C's and early Evora's were dropping to mid $50k NZ before Covid, which is a bargain IMO.
