    Emira Review Index [I4 FE]

    I watched a few of the reviews last night. Still plan to test drive before committing but very much looking forward to it.

    Race to the first i4

    April 2022 order, April 2023 confirmation, didn’t get an email update yet.

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Spotted a DV in the Forest of Dean today, the first I’ve see out and about. The wife said ‘what a silly looking car” so I know I’ve made the right choice ordering mine 👍

    Mine’s also correct at 8th April 2022.

    Just got email saying configure now to get car earlier than expected…

    Thanks. I’ve managed to get it working on the wife’s PC. Turns out patience was a prerequisite as it took 3 minutes to load 👍

    Just got email saying configure now to get car earlier than expected…

    Has anyone managed to get the ‘change my configuration’ function to work? I get directed to an empty white screen. I’ve tried my phone, laptop and work PC all with the same result. I also called customer services but they’re unable to help until Monday. Any help appreciated! Ta

    Also received the email. Configuration was very wrong, even after I spoke to customer services last year and they emailed me a “corrected” config that would be loaded into the system. Glad I checked properly!

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    I’ve given it a few days reflection and decided to keep my order. I’m not due delivery until Q2 ‘24 at best so will keep an eye out for used cars and base spec & price before committing. I’m not sure I need all the bells and whistles in an FE. Plus, who knows, prices might drop by then….

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Just watched the video again, there’s a clear commitment that increased costs will not be passed on; “the price you were quoted will be the price you pay for your emira”. While I fully appreciate that supply, logistics and production costs have increased, in my opinion, a commitment should stand.

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    I’m a late depositor for an i4FE (April 2022) so I assume I’m in line for the price rise. Will have a look for alternatives at the weekend as it’ll save a year waiting and potentially further rises I guess. I thoroughly enjoyed the test drive though so I’m really not sure!

    Oops, looks like that’s been sold and the page removed.

    Sorry no; lost in the moment! Very similar to this though: Link

    Test drive done, definitely in. There was a customer car awaiting delivery that was pretty much the same spec as mine. Double definitely in!

    I'm in - the buyers thread

    Very much still in; DV i4 due in Q2 2024. Had a quick look over the Rybrook Bristol demonstrator a couple of weeks back and test drive in a V6 manual arranged for mid February. Would be nice to know I can get it down my steep driveway mind!

    📓 Journals Diaries of the first Lotus Emira picked up from Hethel - V6 FE - yellow / ice / silver / sport

    Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll be Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 (Apr 2022 order) for a FE I4 but your post reminds me why I’m excited!
