    Dark Verdant vs. Racing Green vs. Isotope. How ripe do you like your avocado?

    I love my Verdant Green Emira but if Racing Green was available, I might have been persuaded to switch.

    No Courtesy Cars Any More For Warranty Repairs

    Their communication skills are poor, as have to email if I want a progress report or information on the warranty work. They don’t return phone messages at all, so it might be a while. If Zagame do organise a loan vehicle it will be welcomed even if it’s an SUV!

    No Courtesy Cars Any More For Warranty Repairs

    My doors have been approved to be replaced by Zagame Adelaide. Hoping they supply a loaner when it's in the panel shop. They did supply a Stelvio for a software update and other warranty work, although was told by Tech, the body shop handles everything. Have you had any paint work on your Emira...

    AI images thread

    Those headlights remind me of my ex-2023 Subaru BRZ (GR86).

    Blind spot monitoring.

    Agree with blind spot monitoring, also why no Digital Radio for Australian cars is a crime as well.

    End of warranty approaching; what should I be checking?

    Good idea to change brake fluid every couple of years (every second service)

    End of warranty approaching; what should I be checking?

    Depending on how many km you have put on, there really isn’t much to go wrong mechanically. Most issues are software related or paint bubbling on the doors ( which you should be able to see). 3 years and no service indicates you don’t drive much or if you do , why hasn’t it been serviced. These...

    2027 Changes

    The “Wheels “ mag Australia, has no V6 available to buy new anymore in the new vehicle spec and price list. Wheels does have issues with wrong specs in this section from time to time though. Does seem consistent with speculation on the V6.

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    Zygrene - Lotus Emira V6 Sport Track Review

    Interesting that we both have experience with the GR86 platform (mine was 2023 BRZ)and Emira. GR/ Subie was fun on the track but V6 Emira is better( though harder on consumables).

    ‘26 Emiras are expected to be $5k higher. With all these increases, what will it eventually do to the value of our ‘24’s?

    I’m not looking to lose a chunk of cash on my Emira, although the frequency and way I enjoy my car is not going to make it collectible. It will be worth something reasonable if it’s sold, though that’s not really why it was purchased.

    To buy or not to buy

    Having come from ZD8 Subaru BRZ(twin with GR86) I can say they are very good at budget, grin inducing fun in a sports car. I questioned the leap to the Emira and in the end they are both immense fun but the Lotus is just on another level, it does everything better, only the weight lets the...

    What things annoy you on Emira?

    Yeah, being tall in the Emira brings compromises(6’2”). Shins hit the bottom of the dash. Did the “Taste of Lotus “ 13/9/25 and the engineer said “you can thank the US for that” (some sort of crash/safety structure) as a tube sits just above my shins.
