    Another 718 GT4 vs. Emira Test Drive

    The 718 is dated, its 20 odd years old but its an engineering masterpiece with an modern updated engine and box. The emira is an evora in a designer dress with a wider footprint and great steering that's it. But you can't argue it still looks great even on the back of the tow truck!!!

    Are cars readily available on the lots in Europe?

    That's the problem 39 for sale on autotrader none of them selling plus loads more at dealers they all must be cancelled orders!!!. The dealer cars Probably available for sale with price control from lotus to try and keep the price up. Not a good time to spend heavy on a car that's across all makes.

    My Emira Experience

    I am sure the issues are mainly down to how the car is built, it's still very much hand built ca but now with 50% of the workforce having no car building experience.

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    I think the issue is how the cars are being built not the parts, lots of new people building cars under pressure that have never done that kind of thing before?

    Tall drivers who have taken delivery/tested the car… how’s the fit?

    I'm 6.2 and the seat didn't go as low as I would like in the emira much more room and far better seating position in a 992.

    Hi Team, look what I can buy for $63K! thoughts?

    Great choice not as good to look at as an emira but miles better value for money don't bother with the m2 back end looks ridiculous and won't be much better that the car you already have.

    Yes it's over but I do think the low depreciation on the evora was due to low production numbers there I already more emira for sale than evora?

    My Emira has now been fully PPF'd and Ceramic Coated - I love it!

    Didn't aide spend the last year telling everybody how magma was the best colour in the world and how it reacts in light changes, then wraps it satin ppf which completely changes the look. Also not very good paint didn't he go to the factory and blast on about the brilliant new paint technology...

    Doug Demuro Review

    Must be a US thing can get one with no options at list in uk, the only option worth considering over a base 992t for me is rear wheel steering at about 2k. That makes it 100k in uk.

    Lotus Emira Production Life vs. EU Ban on Gas Engines

    Tax has no connection to the environment many new diesel cars are far cleaner than petrol and depending on how you look at the system evs. It's just income generation road pricing for miles travelled or tyre tax is next.

    Financing these cars as they are not new is a lot more expensive than last year, back to reality really car values depreciating and finance rates high equals slow car sales.

    Depreciation/Appreciation on New Lotus Emiras

    I think ever car would have to go up quite a bit to justify 100k for the emira but who knows. Finance rates are the real dictator of price here!.
