    Right then, I'll be the one that admits to not having a clue about the interest in 18" wheels Whats the benefit of them? I assume there must be one

    US Lotus portal updated with 2026 models, Raceline is now available

    I just dont get the fascination with Porsche. Design wise they strike me as quite dull, even boring. OK so some do drive nicely, their performance is good, but car ownership is about more than the physical and for me Porsche lacks that something else, that Lotus and especially the Emira has in...

    CEL error code reader

    Any other suggestions? I seem to remember people stating whether their readers worked or didnt with the Emira. It seemed quite few didnt.

    Finally…..I give up!

    I must admit, that over these last few months, every time I read your updates I always think "That could have been me". We both bought from Auto100 and so far I have been pretty lucky and in comparison to you immeasurably so Good luck, hope something gets sorted soon. Keep us all up to date...

    Is there an error code reader of choice for the Emira? One that shows all of the codes and, allows them to be reset? Needs to be something available in the UK Have to drive to the dealer on Wednesday, just for them to read the CEL code I currently have and for them to then determine next...

    Side mirrors bolt covers

    It was one of the things that my Wife pointed out to me when we got it. She thought Lotus had forgotten to cover it properly. The dealer explained otherwise. If someone has suggestions, I'd be interested. Only issue would be the thickness preventing the door from closing

    Any Ice Grey regrets?

    Not had Ice grey, but was considering one when buying one. Went to look at a 2nd hand car, and there was a noticeably dark patch on the the drivers seat, outside edge. Now I own one, I realise this is where you put your hand as you get in/out of the car. I asked the dealer(It was a Lotus Main...

    EVO: BMW M2 v Porsche Boxster GTS v Lotus Emira v Alpine A110 v Ford Mustang

    Lets be honest, it was EVO, the Porsche was going win, even if the wheels fell off mid review. The rest is down to the "journalist" and their preconceptions.

    My first 1500 miles impressions
