The gearbox is notchy by design on this gearbox, its from a diesel toyota and then modified to fit the toyota camry engine, but compared to my Exige 410 which is very notchy, the Emira was less so with a more buttery feel, I enjoyed the gearbox, found it befitting of a sports car which to me is...

and the rest of my review: So the clutch biting point is low, once your used to that the car is very easy to pull away, or reverse and manoeuvre, rear view camera is OK quality too, better than one in my Mclaren and GR Yaris. It is extremely easy to drive! The car has a wide look about it from...

Hi there So I've just had my test drive during lunch at 12 in Prestbury, so plenty of NSL stretches of roads and some nasty bumpy 30mph stretches of road. Roads were bone dry and temperature around 14c. The car specification is: - Dark Verdant - Sport chassis - Goodyear tyres - Lower black...

As much as I love the Emira and one should never compare new and used, but a GT3 at 20-30k more is probably worth every penny as the GT3 is on another level. 9000rpm flat engine and very solid residuals.

Hi there I own a 991.1 2014 GT3 still on the original engine. It is an insane car, I've also got a Lotus Exige 410 20th Anniversary too, done track days in both, they are both incredible, the GT3 is faster, but the Exige is more engaging on track, manual and lighter etc. but the GT3 is...

That is why the 458 is so good, still insanely fast considering it is a 10s quarter mile car, but also one that remains great fun to drive at legal speeds on the public road due to the extremely short gearing on the DCT box. This is also why the AMG DCT version of the Emira will be a fun car as...

So Lotus said they would honour the price of the car but have cheekily increased the finance rate from 5.9% upto 6.9% so those paying on finance will be paying more for the car, they are just getting it in a different way then just increasing the price. Cheeky but I would say to be expected...

Email I got this week after enquiring about my July 7th deposit for a V6 FE manual in blue, silver wheels: " Thank you for your email. I apologise if I caused any confusion. The delay has affected every Emira order, however the effects have varied depending on the order. It has caused your...

Hi Tom Any chance you can make a video please filmed in 4k of a walk around the stand and of all the different Emira's and stick on Youtube please, be great to see. Nice to see Lotus get a few different colours on display, the Nimbus looks stunning as does red/yellow, they missed a trick...

How much do you want, selling what it cost you or overs? What is spec I am asking because I have a mate who was interested in getting an Emira and could pass the details on. I may also sell mine too or may just delay delivery for a base AMG, I am undecided at present.

With all the craziness in the world, war, cost of living, recession looming I'd be surprised if OVER's on a flip was possible and if it is I really can't see them fetching big amounts overs, maybe a couple of grand for a delivery miles car?

If not Emira and you want something that has very similar driving dynamic without exceeding the budget of Emira I'd say: Evora 400 987 Boxster Spyder 987 Cayman R Exige - only if you can do without creature comforts. For me the 987 generation are the best, hydraulic steering, manuals with not...
