I had this using wireless CarPlay after updating to iOS 26.x. Try an iPhone still running iOS 18.x or earlier.

@Speedy Emira , as a potential customer I’m wondering are you suggesting that Toyota reliability and dealers are better than Lotus (the latter in the UK) or vice versa?

Which OEM suspension did you have (Touring/Sport), and how is the ride and compliance now compared with the previous setup?

The UK car magazine Auto Express suggests a 400bhp 4 cylinder motor with an 8 speed box and 4WD. The motor is from the new Yaris GR mid-engined concept and the gearbox from the latest GR Yaris production car. Perhaps Subaru’s had a hand in the drivetrain? Link to Auto Exoress This latest...

Probably used - a 2023/4, low mileage V6 manual. But I was very impressed with the torque and acceleration of the 2l version so I’m not finding the decision easy. And there’s always the thought of a used V10 Audi R8 in mind.

That’s very helpful - thanks

As someone interested in buying an Emira I called recently to my nearest dealer in the UK. The salesman raised the issue of paint blistering (I was unaware at the time) and explained that the cause was due to the use of panel wipe cleaner before paint was applied. Is this the generally accepted...

I’m interested in buying an Emira in the UK - probably a v6 manual. Excuse the naive question, but what does an FE model have that a base car doesn’t?

Absolutely agree with you. I wish the Emira cabin was a bit more ‘racer’ with proper bucket seats. Perhaps aftermarket seats are the answer for me. I’ll take a look hear to see if that’s been done 👍

Thanks for your welcomes and replies. I agree with all that’s been said above. In my heart I want the sound of the V6 - I thinks it’s amongst the best sound for the money, though the 4l 6 cylinder Boxster sounds equally as good in my opinion. My heart also wants a manual box, though the...

Hi everybody I bring greetings from the Alfa 4C forum. Having owned my Alfa for 8 great years I’m wondering if it’s time for a change and quite like the idea of an Emira. Not sure whether a V6 (love the sound), AMG (love the acceleration), manual or automatic would suit so am looking forward...

Like you, I’m a long term Alfa 4C owner (8 years) and interested in replacing it with something appropriate. My shortlist includes Porsche GT4 and 911T, Emira V6 and AMG, MG Cyberster (an EV), as well as classic ‘65 Mustang, 911, and Ford Escort mk1. An eclectic list! For me, 4C will be...
