Nice write-up. Very close to my own impressions of my Emira, I've only had it since February though. I have sports suspension and the Sport Cup 2 tyres as well, these were not nearly as bad on wet UK roads as I had expected - that said I probably missed most of the UK winter. Now that the...

It might be worth you putting your Evora up for sale in AutoTrader too - a much wider audience. Pistonheads is a great site for selling to enthusiasts. Also be aware that the number of second-hand Emiras is dropping, only about 40 odd now up on Autotrader if you discount ads for new cars, there...

Welcome to the group. Some lovely places to drive up there in the NE; Lake District and the North Pennines. Any pics?

I was just talking about the main driver display. The media/infotainment middle screen UI is just OK - I hardly use that UI however as I just throw up Android Auto for everything else. I think I only use the centre screen for the AC and heating controls. Completely agree that touch sensitive...

My girlfriend has just asked me why when I pop-out to get some petrol it always takes at least 45 minutes ... the petrol station is just down the road.

My work often involves me designing or improving user interfaces (UIs) such as on web pages, something I've done for years and so am a bit passionate about well-designed UIs. So just a shout out to whoever at Lotus designed the main driver display - it's really very good. The main driver...

Welcome to the club. Great photos.

I would definitely be interested in one with Alcantara and yellow stitching but depends on the price of course.

I expect it could take several weeks for me to ship you my dash surround, have you cover it and post it back. If you can get a OEM dash surround could you built to order and then provide a refund if we return our original dash surround - would that be possible?

Please check your health insurance policy for the provision of mental health care. ;)

Since I picked it up end of Feb - I have done roughly 3,000 miles. Daily driver although I don't use it for work.

I like that gauge surround. Is there an option for coloured stitching - would be nice to match the rest of my interior? I can't see this on the GRP web site?

Welcome to the club. Any pics of your new ride?

Welcome to the club. You've had some nice cars - the Lotus is a bit different still though.

Just rechecked your video and I think I see you have the grey leather seats. This was one of my take-aways from my test drives I really wanted the Alcantara seats as I felt I was sliding around on the leather seats too, whilst the Alcantara held my arse in place. So interesting that you found...

"It now behaves like a fat Elise" Nah... Emiras are just big boned :D

Isn't Australia in its own trade war with China already? When Australian politicians threatened to investigate the source of the Covid-19 virus in China? Maybe something to do with this? https://www.ussc.edu.au/chinas-trade-restrictions-on-australian-exports

Remember folks - this is all very subjective. It's really worth you test driving the cars before making a decision - and also that's there's no bad decision here, all Emira models are great and you can tweak things fairly cheaply on the Emira if you decide it's not quite right for you.

On normal roads I thought there was little difference. I deliberately mixed in some rough country roads too. You can obviously feel more of the road with the sport suspension especially through the steering but it's not a harsh ride in any way. I'm used to driving an Elise so the sport...

Looks great in that dark grey with the light grey seats. Yellow callipers too, so I guess you are forgiven from not getting a yellow one :D

I tried both back to back on my test drive, I had 30 minutes in each. Also one Sport and one Touring. To simply summarize my thoughts the V6 was "Wow Awesome!" and the i4 was "Wow Great Fun!". The i4 felt faster as the auto box was able to keep the revs in the sweet spot. I went in certain I...

Yes, it had been posted already --> here I think you and I are the only ones that like it :unsure:

AliExpress - there's several links previously in this thread. The link does not appear to work if you are US based.

I just checked my AliExpress invoice for you - it doesn't give any more details than are shown the AliExpress web page. "Kamshing 1piece Steering Wheel SwitchButton For Lynk&Co 01 05 Lotus Volume"

I quite like it - even the single red seat. That green as a standard colour option for Emiras would be great.

Yeah, this was already posted on some other forums. The article is basically click bait and a misunderstanding of the Geely put option. There's an better in-depth discussion of this here. "That's basically financial jargon for Geely is forcing Lotus to buy back the 51% stake it has in Lotus...

Hopefully you find the ideal Emira soon then - then you can join the UK Over-60s Yellow Emira Club :D I was looking for about 4 weeks until I found mine late Feb, I have noticed that back then there were lot more Emiras up on AutoTrader - many in the batch Auto101 got. Recently there's a lot...

This is what I ordered & the page is working for me - you need to make sure you order both left and right sides by clicking the picture/icon. Maybe it is blocked if you order from the US? Note this page does say "used" now.

It doesn't look like the group buy is still happening. The original poster hasn't replied back here in a month and the last post was to say they couldn't get new buttons as everywhere they tried the button sets were on back-order - see here.

Today I replaced the annoying touch-sensitive wheel key clusters with button type ones, very happy with the result. More details here. I also reminded myself that after modding my Elise in so many ways I promised myself to leave the Emira stock, car mods are a slippery slope and a money pit...

My key clusters that I ordered on the 20th arrived today, quicker than I had expected arriving in only 9 days rather than the quoted 4-6 weeks. The parts look new but they could be used as they are in perfect condition there’s no way to tell. I did note that they both had a manufacturing date...

I use Android Auto and use Symfonium to play my music (a mixture of FLAC and MP3). I tried a few players but found Symfonium to be the one I preferred. Seems to work well, album art works well. This works fine with the Emira steering wheel buttons; next/prev track, pause, play. I don't have my...

That's good news. Sounds like this will be fixed at my next service then when they update the software.
