My 2 cents regarding depreciation. I bought V6 FE based on prior experiences driving other Lotus vehicles. It has far exceeded my high expectations based on past ownership. I'm committed to just enjoying the incredible driving experience of the Emira. If it sells for a fraction...

Don't waste money on alternative option to KEF and upgrading aftermarket. After almost 10k miles of touring, my KEF system broke-in around 4k of driving, delivering decent sound. My ultimate hi-fi listening is in my home, not my sportscar. Congrats on your decision to buy a truly...

Let me know how it works for you. I'm in Durango

Drove loop from Durango CO to San Juan Islands WA, down Oregon Coast on 101. The handling and cabin comfort amazing. No mechanical issues! Prepare for enthusiastic reactions to your beautiful car, wherever you go.

NP. Where is the source of the noise?

Keep playing KEF system. I’m at 8000 miles, not using stereo much of the time. It sounds much better now, than new.

Please share your solve.

8000 miles since March 24 delivery. Occasional rattle under the hood, which could be the bonnet stick. Dealer is going to take a look when I have 10k service. Other than that minor issue, what a luxurious, responsive car!!! The 3 year wait was long, but worth it!

I've Driven my Emira 7k miles since March. Most recently a road-trip from Colorado to the Pacific NW. Quiet and smooth as silk on high speed Interstates. Handled like a magic carpet on the coastal twisties of Oregon. Extremely comfortable for long distance touring! The cabin seems more...

I’ve cracked my windshield twice. My dealer quoted $4k. Never had this problem with my Cayman. It’s had rock hits without damage. I wonder if Lotus is aware of this vulnerability. The car has been nothing less than amazing, with this one exception.

Collected my shadow grey in March. Chose SG because it was a less popular choice among FE buyers. Should hold-up well over time.

I will keep you informed, once I get to the dealer. At the moment, were roadtripping and loving the performance of the car. Took it on the Million Dollar Highway from Durango CO to Telluride yesterday. Felt like a magic carpet ride or air travel floating comfortably thru the twistys of So...

I have a slight rattle occasionally when going over road seams. I'm away from home and the dealer thought it could be the rod that holds up the front bonnet came loose. I sense that it is something in front suspension. The car has been driving and handling great. Will address when I go in...

Sorry to hear......A rock hit my Emira windshield on interstate 2500 miles driven. Fully anticipated this would happen at some point, due to the low profile nose. Had the less than dime sized spyder filled. Will replace the windshield when I return to the dealership in the fall. I had 70%...

My car just completed 2500 miles. Drove from Dallas to Durango, with my wife following in her Porsche. It handled magnificently. Xpel XR plus was installed on side windows and winshield before the trip. Seems to make a diff in the cabin driving through the bright, high elevation...
