Looks a bit ugly. Also looks like some front numberplate configurations might block it.

That's good to know you can legally remove a CAT.

Even if it passes the exhaust test, I think removing an emissions control device (3rd CAT) is still technically a fail. Good thing they're not familiar with the car 😁

He's sold it now. He certainly seemed to gain a lot of hate from the Lotus community. Hopefully he has better luck with the next brand..

I'm glad this thread became active again. I always wondered why both the lumber controls seemed to do the same thing. I don't know if we can blame Lotus for this one, I assume the seats arrive fully assembled at the Lotus factory. I wonder if anyone has fed back to the Chinese supplier about this..

Do any cars (except electric cars) have a separate heater matrix? Combustion engines produce a lot of heat, and significant effort it made to try and keep them cool. This excess heat is is then redirected to the cabin as required by the heater controls. To use the engine power/12V to power a...

£276K in the UK, and still has the same uninspiring 1.8T engine. Crazy money IMHO. I would rather have a McLaren/Ferrari if I was spending that much. I tried the A110 when they came out. I found the 1.8 Turbo engine not particularly exciting. The auto gearbox slow (I've been spoiled by PDK) and...

So most of the common issues are not covered? But they want a grand a year and it only covers up to 5K? Not looking very good to be honest.

Lotus are properly skint and probably trying to save money at every opportunity. I've heard they won't replace PPF anymore either.

How did this resolve? Did you return the car? Are you still an owner? With the heavy depreciation of the car, and what I might guess a 3 year balloon payment could look like. I wonder how it compares to the actual value of the car. Maybe it's better to walk..

He is an odd fellow for sure. But you guys are being pretty harsh 😂

Possibly I've misunderstood the article. It's not new news that they were going to keep an ICE engine in the GT/RS models. But I read this to mean there will be ICE in the mainstream models now also.

Porsche have finally fully back tracked and the new Cayman/Boxsters will have ICE engines throughout the range. What blows my mind reading the article is how they're having to reverse engineer a car that was designed from the ground up to be an EV vehicle to fit an engine and transmission...

My general observations from this group is that the problems have not gone away with later cars. Newer 2024/2025 V6 Emiras seem to get the same paint issues and other electric/water ingress issues as the early 2022/2023 cars. The engine/drivetrain part is the most reliable, and has been from...

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never had any issues. I use a Google Pixel phone and android auto. Make sure you have the latest software on the car (and your phone). Also consider an infotainment reset on the car and reconfiguring Android Auto from scratch. Especially if you've had the...
