    Cancelled my i4 Emira

    The X2 is just for getting to and from swimming. (we're estimated to put around 200km or 120mile a day) between both kids. When i drove the Z3 about a month ago (it's been sitting at my parents for years). I did not enjoy it, seat was small, things falling apart, manual was feeling weird. Now...

    Cancelled my i4 Emira

    Hi All, so i cancelled my deposit for an i4 Emira. We needed another car immediately due to my kids intense swimming schedule. Having 4 cars at home between the two of us and an Emira coming would make no sense. Since we picked up a used BMW X2, I decided that it would best to go Electric for...

    Shmee First drive video out peeps

    That's what I mean. Most likely the sport and Michelin package will be the more expensive option vs touring and goodyear. What else are we getting aside from the badge vs base?

    Shmee First drive video out peeps

    I noticed him complaining about the sport suspension to. Question I have is, if you don't want the sport suspension and the michelin tires, is there really a point to the first edition? And paying the premium for it?

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want a Porsche…

    yeah pretty much. It's also the finance rate or the lease rate. while the market was at at ~1%, Porsche is at 6.9%. I ask why and the sales guy always says "its because they can." I have no issues with that, he was being honest about it. He was willing to show me the amount of sales without...

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want a Porsche…

    Not at all, I detest porsche, aside from the old 944/948 and the 928. Bought Z3 over boxster Bought q7 over cayenne/panamera (mainly finance rate) Bought r8 over 911 gt3 Bought 335i GT over Macan (only bc the macan was new and only available models were fully spec'd) Bought lc over 911 c4s...

    No regrets on reversing my position

    I am unsure what you are saying. You state at the beginning that everyone can't get past the look of the car. Obviously, it's fricken gorgeous. But then you say, we are planning to buy the Emira for other people other then ourselves? Hello, we think it looks gorgeous, hence we are buying it...

    Reviews, Opinions and Emotions

    100% agree, the LC is not a sportscar in any sense of that word. It is a very plush grand tourer, but when you are at the right throttle input, it screams like an F1 car and at WOT, sounds like a muscle car. It's downshifts are outright heavenly music to my ears. Lexus wanted to build a car...

    Whatcha think? (Poll)

    not many, i voted 5-9. I think most of us are so far behind the deposit list that we will get a chance to test the car out before we move forward.

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    in reality the biggest thing i'm not seeing in these reviews are "excitement" very very monotone, just another day in the office type of thing. Maybe we need more Youtube reviewers to review this car, they seem to have much more excitement.

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    I've purchased a number of vehicles undriven. Z3, R8 and LC500 Convertible. All worked out great, especially the LC500, reviews were awesome and owning it, I've felt every bit as blown away as all the reviewers. I am now leaning towards cancelling my deposit and just getting my wife the 911...

    Reviews, Opinions and Emotions

    I can honestly say I have very mixed emotions right now on the Emira. Just like hot models, you lust for the looks, but you fall in love with the personality. What i got out of all those reviews were, meh. When I drive my Lexus LC, It is a gorgeous looking car, but like the emira, it is not...

    Will you use a front plate or hope you don't get pulled over??

    i got my Lexus LC500 last september. Here in Ontario Canada, its a law to have front and back plates. I decided to take the chance and left the front plate in my trunk, so far no issues. I will eventually be pulled over, but hoping it won't be anytime soon.

    Oh boy, the time is here, and I'm not ready yet!

    all mid engine cars look very similar to a certain degree.

    A mistake that could have been avoided

    What is wrong with that gap? I think it looks OK to me. Isn't the sport suspension supposed to be slightly lower? Wished they pushed out those wheels closer to the edge.

    Full reviews incoming?

    Competitors

    I am only cross shopping a base 911 or 911/4. But out of that list, the Cayman.

    Would you change from V6 to I4 if I4 had 400HP?

    That is so funny. So many people I've talked to hate Mercedes (me included). Worst dealership experience ever.

    Evora, or Emira, which is the better looking car

    interesting comment, so your thoughts on the 911 GT's, Boxster/Caymen, Lexus LFA and a few others with middle exhausts. Remind you of a Civic?

    Evora, or Emira, which is the better looking car

    The Evora for me has always been a love hate relationship. I have loved a lot of lotus cars (with the espirit being the least and the Elan being the most). The Evora has this real beauty to her yet at angles you're not so sure. She is just so unique that such a design can bring two so different...

    FE Tan Leather Interior Pics

    No clue, it didn't bother me as the pilot was used as a traveling vehicle and I put on 180k km in 4yrs. I know some owners were asking for new seats and were approved under warranty. But the new seats didn't solve the problem Now on a $110k sportscar, I would be angry.

    PPF on new car

    My mistake about Suntek ultra having Ceramic built in. It was suntek Reaction.

    PPF on new car

    this is true, my LC500 panels are so tight in many areas that you would not be able to tuck it even though its been disassembled.

    PPF on new car

    That is a stretch to be honest. Car bras were cool back in the day, but they left huge amounts of scratches. No one uses the plastic that covers the screen from the manufacturer, since that looks horrible. But a fair amount of people use a screen protector (be it Film or Tempered Glass). PPF...

    PPF on new car

    I am definitely PPFing or Wrapping the car once received. film protection is one of the greatest things invented for protecting the finish.

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    I'm pretty close myself on canceling my spot and just putting a deposit on 911 base or C4 base. Wife would be happy and I don't ever need to hear that she would like to own a porsche one day.

    PPF or Ceramic

    Most if not all ppf is now self healing, so are vinyl wraps. Xpel and suntek have the same amount of depth overall. But I believe expel has a thicker glue side (trying to recollect) I use Suntek Reaction which has the ceramic coating layer already applied.

    PPF or Ceramic

    Suntek reaction ppf comes with a ceramic coating. Plan on doing the whole car, totally worth it.

    Canadian FE orders.....??

    shouldn't we compare the exhaust note on an A45 to get an idea? vs just saying it will sound like a vacuum cleaner, lol? i'm getting the i4 to save on gas. I'm not a fan of the amount of backfire, but it is what it is.

    Emira Custom Plates

    since i have a deposit on the i4, i was thinking one of these. I already have r1lee, thinking of just expanding it.

    Olternative Finance Options

    Here in Canada. I will probably use the equity on my house, since the mortgage rate is about 1.75% and I can get promotional interest rates on savings accounts from 2.8 - 3%. It would mean I will coming out ahead. If the mortgage rate is higher than any savings account interest rate I can get...
