    Anyone have this clutch noise when downshifting to 2nd?

    Yes thank you. I'll just have the dealer do it while it's under warranty, just to keep records around the clutch behavior.

    Anyone have this clutch noise when downshifting to 2nd?

    No solution to mine. I gave the dealer a video of the noise clearly audible, they couldn't replicate it. Said everything felt normal. It doesn't quite feel normal to me. I've had the opportunity to drive other manual Emiras since and my clutch has a really clunky abrupt bite point. It's not a...

    What's the worst rental car you've had?

    Worst rental ever? Dacia Sandero. Without question. The old bubble shaped Ford Taurus was pretty bad too. I actually rank my rental cars 😂 here’s the 2025 running, in order of how much I enjoyed my time with them (very subjective / unscientific I know). 2025 rental car rankings Kia EV6: A-...

    One Year & 14,000 Miles in a Lotus Emira V6 Manual

    Others have chimed in on this already, but this was a recall that only affected the first batch of 2024 cars that came over to the US. By the time I picked up my car (May 2024), I believe they had already remedied the issue for all new cars and most dealers were receiving parts to update their...

    Sketchy Experince on Offramp?

    Have you ever had any driver training? Everyone saying go to an autocross or track, and that's good advice, but much more helpful with instruction. I've had several Emira on track in full anger and the limits of this car are so much higher than mine as a driver, and I've had quite a bit of...

    Is leasing an Emira a good idea?

    I've leased cars, and would lease again in a heartbeat. On some cars it makes a lot of sense (EV leasing loophole, locking in liability on high depreciating cars). If you're saying leasing allows you to buy a 2024 at reduced / pre-tariff prices, than I think that also makes a lot of sense. You...

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    In the modern era? Nothing comes close imo. But these get me going.
