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...

When I had my OEM lid sandblasted, I purchased an OEM replacement gasket in advance and "just in case" but never had to use it. The OEM gasket is made of thin metal, so it came off w/o problem and I reused it with a bit of surface oil, on the new colored lid. I'm hoping I can reuse it again for...

Sorry Eagle7 but I don't see this new Honda as anywhere close to the Emira "in the looks department". IMO the Honda has conflicting lines and a more boxy "lego-ish" look. It lacks the "smooth flow" of the Emira. I can live with its rear view, but don't like the front or side views in the photos...

The JD MR photos show yellow stitching for this Emira, whereas the one for sale in Montreal has grey stitching, plus the description states: "Black Alcantara with Grey contrast stitching". The one sold on Cars & Bids (#499) also shows grey stitching, as does the one for sale (#505) at Los Gatos...
