Don’t risk it I cancelled and bought a Porsche 4.0 718 GTS. Drives better and is naturally aspirated so no whining super charger. Better handling more storage and superior build quality.

No the GTS & 911 are two leagues above and are considerably more reliable and better built. I recommend you visit the Lotus factory if you need convincing and test drive both - I have !

In the UK used cars have halved in value and have been plagued with mechanical and bodywork issues. Buy a Porsche

I have been following your ownership nightmare and glad you have successfully rejected the car. I cancelled my order many months ago and so glad that I did.

Yes I have experienced that

Porter it looks like you are coming round to my conclusion about Lotus when I cancelled 8 months ago. It was the factory tour and driving the car on track at Hethel that told me all I needed to know.

Until the next thing goes wrong and it is too late to reject the car.

No doubt too busy dealing with other faulty Emiras.

Agreed I cancelled some months ago but was heavily invested in terms of the time I gave to Lotus and maintain an ongoing interest

I have just sold my F Type through Motorway for around 10% more than WBAC were offering
