    How bad will the Emira depreciation be?

    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...

    Audio thread- to KEF or not to KEF?

    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...

    How many miles you got on your Emira!?

    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!

    Lotus Emira Appreciation Thread

    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...

    Cracked windshield

    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.

    Thoughts on Shadow Grey?

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

    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    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...

    Steering clunk when manoeuvring

    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...

    Might be the first windshield replacement in the US 🏆😭

    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%...

    North America, let’s give the Emira some love!

    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...

    North America Emira Experiences

    I feel for you and the dealer. My Emira is driving extremely well, even more so after the initial break-in. Its performance characteristics are refreshingly different from other sports cars I've owned. Wishing the same outcome for you.

    Road-tripped the car from Dallas to Hill Country outside of Austin. Determined to get the 1st 1k miles quickly. The twistys were fun, respecting the speed limit. The responsiveness and handling is off the charts! All the fun of of my 66 Lotus Elan on steroids. WARNING: Stopping for gas is...

    Wind noise

    Has the wind noise on driver window resolved? If yes, what was the fix? My driver side window has low volume noise over 60mph originating in front corner near mirror. When washing the car a very small amount of water finds its way into the seal...verifying the location of wind noise.

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    I struggled with this too. My 2006 porsche had 1st gen film on the nose and it was obvious by its seams, not very protective and difficult to remove. I looked at xpel and suntek and chose suntek due to lesser price and 10 yr warranty. I did the front end and mirrors for $2k tax included...

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    I PPFd the front and mirrors. Tech did a great, seamless job! Obviously they prepped it well before draping the film. Now the bad news. It made the appearance of the rest of the car look a little dull by comparison. The extended period of time the car was in transit or repeatedly cleaned...

    Colorado - questions

    Will be driving mine in late Spring/early Summer on million dollar highway 4 corners. Probably drive over the hill to front range too. Should be fun and hopefully trouble free. My biggest concern is parking in an open lot while overnighting at hotel in suburbs of Denver.

    First US customer Emiras have landed

    A video from Naples FL dealership shows receipt of 48 Emiras. Appears most are Hethel or Senecca Blue FE. I don't mind being an outlier. Red Interior is a departure for me...glad I spec'd it . It looks beautiful.
