    'Cheap' audio Upgrade help!

    Nova, we usually are on the same page. The Bose system bass is very powerful that it actually hurts your ears as you feel it, as it’s two large 10 subs. I was so surprised this is why I decided to save the extra 9k plus as GM added some extra available options like the video mirror and PDR in...

    'Cheap' audio Upgrade help!

    I am picky when it comes to sound systems and known to buy the best that is offered in any vehicle I purchase. When I test drove the Emira at Lotus of Dallas I was not a fan of the KEF system and shared my thoughts on this forum. Many people got mad at my analysis and questioned my experience...

    Lotus vs other brands on the Douchey-Cool scale

    Unfortunately Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari & Lamborghini buyers/owners don’t care what the scale says. New Lotus is not considered light anymore the Emira is heavier compared to the out going versions & the EV’s are super heavy. The McLaren 720S with 100% fluids and fuel is around 3100 pounds...

    Porsche ends combustion engine in 718 Cayman/Boxster in 2025.

    Dude to me it’s all about the motor. The Z06 motor is Amazing it’s truly off the charts, that is the only reason I bought her. I can’t believe GM out of all companies made this motor at this time when all are going forced induction or turbos. Plus the good news some dealers are now giving 10K...

    Sad News...Tom at Boardwalk Lotus

    OMG I loved Tom we spoke a few weeks ago. I am so upset. He was a good guy, I knew some of his medical history as we talked in the past for the last 5 years. I am so sad for his family. LOVE TOM and his passion for cars he will be missed.

    Lotus Emira battery dies while driving or can it be the alternator?

    1st guess dead battery and you need a new one. 2nd guess its your charging system. All under warranty. Sucks that you spend this much money and it only has 1k miles. For me it makes it hard to trust the car on a road trip. I have very little patience when this happens to a car that I own. I use...

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    Completely different cars. The Z06 is very edgy with an incredible motor which is the reason I purchased it. Motor feels like the Ferrari 458 but with more power. The Emira is such a beautiful car and it’s a manual which makes it very special and different., both incredible machines. Good luck...

    A friend who has a Emira in the Dallas market has music studios and has a very picky ear. He was able to tap into the SUB amp in the rear behind the panel & is using a powered 10'' inch sub box. When he turns the system on it sends a signal to the SUB and turns it on at the same time, its...

    The likely delay of the EV Elise can have consequences on the continuation of the Emira

    For those of us that have an Emira & want our values to hold we would rather them stop production of the Emira verses making a lot more of them.

    AY SUB is the main issue if you’re looking for quality base and to resolve it, add a powered sub. Many have done it cost about 500 doesn’t take up much space in the back and will sound much better. The free air sub is not much different than the Evora. I did a complete build for that car as...

    My 2 Cents. If Lotus & Kef did their jobs when it comes to the upgraded KEF system in the Emira, this thread would not be so negative. No one is wrong in this thread about how bad the system is, but KEF & Lotus are for Allowing this to be the final product. When you think of KEF you think high...

    Understand it's all subjective as ever ear is different. But my complaint this is an Upgraded line item for those who dont by an LE, not sure its worth it and all the hype Lotus pumped out about the system.

    To me it’s the Lotus owners making excuses for mediocrity for the car we love. Not being negative, we all say well it’s a Lotus with a giggle.

    When I bought my Evora in 2011 the first upgrade I did was a complete audio system upgrade. It was a pain in the A but it was night and day better. When I sat in the Emira and had about 8 plus hours in multiple cars with the KEF audio system, my first two comments OMG I need to do another...

    That is great news, anytime you spend that much money on a car you should be happy with your decision.

    Why are so many Emiras being resold in the USA?

    Lotus took to long to get the car to the USA. Now the sports car market is slowing a little verses everyone getting ADM for the cars. I bet about 25% of the deposits are flippers and 75% are truly wanting the car. Lotus will be making to many compared to past versions, this could hurt future resale.
