You mention it is not perfect ?

No just looking for balance. Your reaction to my post was a bit over the top. There are problems with the car which have been well documented.

So that’s acceptable behaviour from a car manufacturer to a new customer 👎

I note in an earlier post you work as a service manager - is that for Lotus ?

A link to some of the other issues https://www.emiraforum.com/forums/lotus-emira-problems-and-issues.37/

Here is the link to the article on the owner in Germany taking Lotus to court https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/formal-complaint-regarding-wiper-issue-being-filed.2893/#post-84473 I note you are in the USA so can be forgiven for not knowing about all the issues on current deliveries. Good...

My journey was exactly the same - drawn in by the headline £60k but fell in love with the design so swallowed the higher £76k FE price and paid the two deposits. Drove it on track and had a factory tour which created a few concerns over quality and finish as the cars were frequently over heating...

Worth visiting this forum as there are several issues not reported here including paint blistering https://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/119316-emira-paintwork-issues/#comment-1008668

There are many reports of windows leaking leading to damp interiors and condensation in cold weather. Might be best to keep it garaged and just use in the summer as apparently the windscreen wipers have been faulty on many cars. Moderator note: awaiting verification of the reports of windows...

I did and have just ordered a Cayman 4.0 GTS and now sleep a lot better

i cancelled after reading about yours and others who have been disappointed by the quality and lack of support from Lotus. I am an hour and a half from the nearest dealer and didn’t want the hassle of going back and forth with problems. Even though I cancelled last week they still emailed me...

Then why mislead i dumped her - still waiting for the ring back and have since proposed to a German beauty with great reliability who has accepted my ring and we expect to be together in June.

Probably lost your order 🙁

Well done ! I cancelled last week before being told today that my price was going up. Glad I am out.

Why did the MD make a price pledge to those with an order then ?

I was July 21 deposit June 23 build on an V6 and not price protected even though Matt Windle gave a price pledge on video. I have cancelled mainly on quality concerns but this is the final straw

After 18 months of waiting for my Emira I finally cancelled the order today. I appreciate the feedback from early recipients and hope that the outstanding issues soon get resolved. Living an hour and a half from the nearest Lotus dealer made me realise that I couldn’t cope with some of the...

I was nimbus, tan, black wheels and yellow callipers but having seen the red leather & red callipers together I have switched. Hoping for April delivery so not yet locked in.

Yes I agree my final choice is nimbus, red leather & red callipers & black wheels

The images below show shots of the engine with and without privacy glass. The lotus logo is visible in both but the full detail of the engine cover is obscured by the privacy glass. I am still going for PG as I believe it improves the overall look of the car. Nimbus Grey is without PG and Dark...

I almost sold my F Type in readiness for a November delivery of the Emira but fortunately checked with Lotus just before closing the deal and was advised that delivery is now sometime in 2023.

I have the same dilemma what would you buy instead of the Emira. The Cayman and 911 just don’t look exciting and I currently have an F Type which I am content with until my Emira arrives “sometime” in 2023.

My Ftype is silicon silver which works well with black wheels

I currently drive a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder Jaguar F Type which delivers fantastic performance and fuel economy around 29 mpg so the AMG will be my choice in the Emira.

Put down my deposit via the website on the 23rd July - does anybody know when that will give me an approximate delivery date ?

Switching to the Emira subject to a test drive and checking the build quality to be fair to the Jag which is a stunning car.

Currently drive a Jaguar F Type 2.0 litre turbo which I use every day. Just love the look of the new Emira which will probably be available for delivery just as my Jag is due for a change. The F Type is a fantastic car and an amazing drive so I feel a little guilty switching to the Emira but it...
