Interesting idea (thanks). Other questions and perhaps you likely won't know, until beta testing is complete: 1. no interior leaks with rain (while parked; and while moving forward; or in reverse)? 2. no leaks while washing car, if use the spray nozzle at the top and angled down (so water...

Take almost any sports car...any supercar even...and there's a more expensive/nicer looking/better performing/better handling car than that one out there, or not, according to who you're talking to. Everyone has a personal preference about which car is "better bang for your buck"/nicer...

The drive is your best reward with the Emira. Newer Emiras even if they come with options you like, won’t improve the “Lotus drive” so unless you’ve money to burn, I think your choice is clear. I too have a 2024 FE with no issues after almost 2 years, so reliability isn’t an issue from my...

I purchased a new 2024 and was told from the outset, no courtesy car would be offered for any warranty repairs, unlike absolutely every other new vehicle I've purchased over the past several decades. I took the Lotus warranty wording, to verify that. Critiques will point to Lotus being a...

You should be able to order a CARFAX report, which should list service history and if it's been in any accidents. Getting a pre-purchase mechanical inspection is always a good idea, since it could find a problem not obvious from the CARFAX. If you can't get one at a Lotus dealership or it's too...

So far no one has mentioned the hit you're bound to take, if you keep the car, when you go to sell it or trade it in, given its problem history. For that reason alone, I think it's fair you get some sort of compensation from Lotus. If they refuse, that would put me over edge and I'd lemon law...

I see the "shift boot delete" as another mod, unless you've swapped it out for OEM.

I'll add this, perhaps prompting disagreement amongst BMW fans, but I invite your input (see below). My apologies to those who think I've highjacked this thread. I used to be a die-hard BMW proponent and owned several at the same time. The most expensive one was a 2000 740iL, which I fell in...

Thanks Davebeats! I had no clue there was a "Lotus App". My dealer said nothing about it when I picked up my Emira and I likely missed any reference to it, assuming it was mentioned in the Owner's Manual. I've now downloaded it onto my smart phone and will play with it in the spring, when I...

I looked into this titanium bolt "save weight issue" but for me, the weight saved was too minimal, to justify the cost. But that's just me. Here's a comment made by Eagle7 about the weight difference (underlined quote below, with key lines highlighted): My set just arrived in the mail. My Alfa...

I know of no way to “shuffle” the songs on a USB stick. The Emira does the basics only and lacks software for such a task. I’ve also got my song library on a USB and so far, my Emira is playing them alphabetically. You can ask that certain gendres of songs play (rock, country, etc.), but that’s it.

Another shout-out to GRP. My Black Friday purchases arrived AOK and with some cross-border help from Greg. I'll mention that I was initially unhappy my order was split into 2 packages, increasing my FedEx fees...however Greg patiently explained the rotors I ordered (a set of 4; the main part...

I have the Aerie V2's and asked they be made to fit the Emira OEM center caps. I also had Aerie throw in a set of center caps. When installing the new rims, my tire shop refused to put in the center caps, saying they were too difficult to install, felt like they'd break them, and they didn't...

My first look, even though this has been around for over a year. I really do like the futuristic look, note it's an electric concept car and not expected to go into production, despite (and it makes me laugh) the Ai info already giving it an expected price range of £70,000 (approx...

Thanks (!) MiamiBlue for starting this thread and the detailed write-up (and the others who've contributed). I've just nicely parked my Emira and after just over 1.5 years and daily driving it during the non-winter months, I've had ZERO problems/issues, other than having to drive it 3 hours...
