I am sorry to hear about your issues with the Emira. It is wild how different the experiences are with this car. Whenever I am asked about my Emira, my first remark is always "turns on every time I ask it to". I had low expectations for this car from a reliability perspective, but fortunately...

I have a 2018 V10+ R8 that no one even looks at twice at Cars & Coffee. When I bring the Emira, it is an entirely different scene.

I am unaware of one that covers paint. The Fidelity Platinum Warranty I bought for my R8 is an exclusionary policy, so it covers everything except what is listed. Wear items like tires, rotors, etc. are not covered.

For the right price, I would buy an extended warranty for the Emira. I bought a Fidelity Platnium warranty on my R8 after the OEM warranty expired last year. It was ~7800 USD in 2024 for 7 additional years with a $250 deductible. Considering a new engine is $60k, well worth the piece of mind. I...
