Brian, Joe here in the Raleigh area. Congrats on the acquisition. I purchased a new I4 in May from Cape Fear and had transmission surging and bucking from 2nd to 3rd gear. My software flash in early fall took 8 hours at the Wilmington dealer…….and cured many shifting and other drive...

Sorry for the delay….this is my 3rd Lotus and after the many flash updates over the years - I never could feel a difference. However, after this flash (8 hours) I have yet to feel any bucking or surging (was usually 2-3 gear). And all truly feels smoother - shifts - and better drive ability...

Hey there……first trip to the dealer for my I4’s first service…….after three hours downloading flashes, I’m told it may take another 5+ hours…had to leave the car overnight, and of course, the mechanic was off the next day…..that said, it was at least 8 hours of down loads so it was either a ton...

Thanks for the note…….my Emira is 3 months old and just noticed the squeaky seats….heard of the rubber insert, any pics to show the cure…….this is my third Lotus and by far the best!!! Seneca Blue was my choice as well.

This hits so home for me……..struggled for 4 months on what platform to buy. Coming out of an Evora S for 8 years (great car) I was hyper sold on the V6……….but, I kept getting this little voice in my head saying “try the new setup”…. Well, 60 days and 700 trouble free miles in, and me and my I4...

I have a new I4 and my XPEL Dealer used their new windshield product……he made it known, over time the wipers, if old and dirty, could scratch the film………now that said, my Emira is a weekend car, and for the few hundred $’s added while getting the PPF done…….it’s a steal. I had to replace a...

Live in Cary, but at the beach this week - see you next month at Cars & Coffee, or at another event in NC soon!

Perfect……thanks!

Seneca Blue Emira in Cary, NC……..what shop are you using……and what is you Cars & Coffee go to?

Congrats…..as a past m100 and Evora owner, my Seneca Blue I4 (401 mikes so far - issue free) was also purchased from a dealer 10 hours away. Couldn’t get a phone call or e-mail back with check in hand from local outlet. Enjoy……

Good Morning……..new I4 Owner after much deliberation on engine choice - coming out of an Evora and m100. 300 miles in and I have experienced this same surging and rpm ramping during low gear acceleration. Curious if this improves as clutch plates wear in, or has a software update corrected...

Wiz33…..Evora S and m100 owner and getting ready to add an Emira. Fascinated with your I4 updates as it’s been a struggle which engine to pick. Drove both……but in the end, I’m driving more highway miles than track days (VIR) - and while I get the fact these are sports cars - I prefer my next...
