Yes of course, new they were a £250k+ car so in pure cash terms they are only comparable as long as you don't mind a 10 year old car vs a new one, My insurance was less with the Mac, road tax is more and service costs so far about the same. As a weekend toy they are also both comparable, similar...

In the UK a 650s is very similar in cost to a new Emira. My Emira was going to be around £84k and my 650s was only £3k more than that. Always the risk of a big bill with a supercar but so far so good. I was parked next to an Emira at a car show last weekend and the Emira still looks epic.

It's what he does really, tries to give a general feel of how he feels, he loves a clickbait title as well. Without more internal knowledge, hard to give a detailed objective discussion and probably not as entertaining. These Youtubers are about entertaining for the clicks ultimately.

I seriously doubt it. Many of us who were early orderers and lived the excruciating pain of the total lack of regular information, lies and delays far in excess of what was acceptable even with Covid; fed back in considerable detail verbally, in writing and finally though cancelling. Since the...

Just popped in to see the reaction to Harry's vid. Nice to see Harry following my example ;-) although I never quite got to the ownership stage as I cancelled my i4 early this year. I purchased from Thorney with their warranty and the car has been epic. Done about 1400 miles since April and...

Yes, I have found out this is a bit of a faux pas with supercars. Never post pics with the lift engaged. My drive has a steep curb so logic told me to leave it up so I don't forget and scrape carbon splitter etc. Must remember to only post pics in the lowered position.

My Emira alternative was picked up today. Very happy with it but still a little regretful on the Emira. Also by strange coincidence the 4 week wait to get my deposits refunded by Lotus finally resolved today, just as I was making the final payment for the 650s. I will for sure keep popping in...

I appreciate the troubles with Admiral recognising the i4 but I had a chat with them about my 650s today and saved £200 going multicar even when my wifes car is not due for another 6 months. Could be worth trying as Admiral were the cheapest on the Emira for me as well.

I don't have the space or money for two sports/super cars sadly. I do have a little regret as I was i4 all along and for the reasons you are all talking about. My plan was the Emira for a couple of years then into McLaren. I could just reverse it, and get the Emira after a couple of years. Maybe...

As the OP, I am so delighted to see closure on this with the first owners taking delivery of their i4/Emira Turbo today. Many congrats and enjoy your cars, I shall be living vicariously through you all. The irony is that mine was delivered a week ago to the dealer and I could be picking up this...

Possible and he certainly tried.

Just had a call from Lotus Hatfield which I did not know even existed to say my car was ready to collect. Had to let them down gently as he had no idea I had cancelled.

I am going through limited or no no claims with admiral currently. As I have been a company car driver for over 25 years Admiral do not recognise my company car driving clean history. That said when I spoke to them they applied a new insurer discount and gave me the equivalent of 5 years no...

I had a chat with Lotus CC yesterday and mine was ready for collection now if I had not cancelled it. Ordered 8th July 2021 so fairly early. Probably one of those on Autotrader now.
