I really wanted to test drive the Emira, here in Southern CA but I missed the drive events that the dealerships had. However, I have driven many sports cars over the last 5 years, including: McLaren 570S Spider Porsche 911 4S Jaguar F-Type C8 Corvette I just recently reached the 1200 mile...

I went with a different BMW. This one attracts attention far more than I expected. Its seats are among the best I've experienced, and power/acceleration is superb.

I'm out as well. I really loved the IDEA (body design and powertrain) of the Emira, but at 80 miles from the nearest Lotus dealership and all the issues owners in the UK have been having, I don't want to go back to the "old days" when my old car would conk out on the street, followed by other...

I think we can agree that even 10% is a scary number, much less 25%. Imagine if you bought a Lexus LC500 or 500h and 10% of owners had serious issues. Perhaps I'd be less concerned if a dealership were 20 minutes away.

Definitely not a good sign for those expecting their Emiras within the next 6 months. I'm close to pulling the plug.

Boy am I glad that you guys volunteered to be prototype testers. Oh wait............ :unsure:

It looks like Grundy doesn't list max mileage per year.

Yes, although I haven't driven an Emira yet, I have driven an Evora. It is lighter and more directly coupled to the road compared to my C5 (last driven in 2014). The Evora's seats were far more firm and supportive, especially the side bolsters. The biggest shocker was when I still had the Z51 C5...

No offense taken, but a focused look at the C8 Corvette "problems/issues" folder will reveal plenty of issues in this fourth year of production.

So the Evora's kinks were worked out, quickly? My 2001 Corvette was the 5th model year and almost none of the kinks from the 1997 (first year of C5) were fixed. In fact, because of the added electronics, even more kinks were present. I certainly admire all the early customers for essentially...

I may have mentioned this, previously but I had this happen on composite bodied car, many years ago. Apparently, composite material must be dry and sealed before primer/paint is applied. If not, moisture from the inside can wick to the outside, causing bubbling of the paint. Of course, Lotus...

Good idea! (y)

We have a fair number of hills where I live. Driving up them is when that extra power and torque is sometimes utilized but always appreciated. Besides, there are more and more EV drivers who like to embarrass ICE and ICE/Hybrid drivers. I do notice that there are plenty of "cruisers" who love...

Rental companies and owners who tent via turo.com know that it is far easier to cause serious wear if a manual transmission car is thrashed by a renter. That's why you won't see many for rent. I have rented many cars through turo, and would never abuse the car.

You can get a much faster and still great-looking 2017-2018 Acura/Honda NSX for just a bit more money. No, that would not have a warranty, but it most likely would not need it, since it is a Honda.
