Yes. Since I drive both car over pretty much the same road in my area. The i4 is definitely a little more bouncy over the same imperfections on the read, not to the point of causing a distraction but much more like the V6 sport that I have drove.

The 2 car are not equal. In Touring in the i4 is stiffer than the V6 sport, rear spring on the i4 touring is 135Nm/m vs 115 Nm/m of the V6 sport. I would advise against i4 sport unless you have perfect road in your city or you'll be very busy with the steering on the highway (as in my friend's...

As far as I know, It's a TMU update that changes the shift logic and patterns. have nothing to do with engine output.

I'm probably a bit older so I would rather have a smoother shift when I'm just running around Silicon Valley in traffic. I usually stay in sport mode just for the quicker throttle response but I don't really push the car till I'm out of the city.

I think this update is intended to address some of the strange shift behavior in sport and track mode. I have experienced some rough/jerky shift in sport mode and the DCT will sometimes stay in gear pretty much close to redline even while not under full throttle. So it's sounds more like making...

Source? Which dealer and what software? I'm taking my i4 in on Monday and I'll look into this.

If you live in a densely populated city.What's the point of using any other mode than Tour? Just so you can accelerate faster from a stop then having to brake a moment later? I only use Sport or Track once I'm out of the city.

Alway apply a bit of downward pressure on the armrest before pushing in on the latch then lift up.

you need to have your hearing checked. I usually don't go past 50% often and even then never above 60%

For what it's worth. The KEF sounds better than my 2024 718S base system but not as good as the B&O in my 2021 RS5 (which was a ~$900-$1000) option back then

Yea, sport and track have different throttle and gearbox mapping. keeping the rpm higher so there's minimal if any turbo lag.

If your VIN is not of one of the boats that arrived before Lotus halted production. then you won't see it till the dust settles if ever. of those that made it to the US port. If they landed by 3/31, you should have gotten it or an least been notified that they are enroute to the dealer.

My setup is a cheap set of this from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLLF9VXW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2 and I bounce between these two cleaner depending on how dirty they were. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UT3S6Q?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1...

Between the i4 and the V6? I have an impression thread here or do you want something specific? https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/first-impression-of-my-i4-from-a-current-v6-manual-owner.5830/

I love my Silver wheels but they do require frequent cleaning. This morning was cool and cloudy so give the V6 a wash and cleaned the wheels.

I have the exact same spec except mine is an i4. Love the color combo.

Do you mean the album artwork now load faster? that used to take a few minutes but if you select folder, it comes up in a few seconds. Do you still have to switch over to the USB and then select the album/folder or does it remember which input was last used? Remembering the song you last play...

You need a ODB II reader to read the code. Then someone here can probably tell you if it's something you can reset or is it serious enough you need to contact the dealer

My friend with a V6 with sport suspension took my i4 for a weekend a few weeks ago and even keeping things easy since it's still under 1K miles. This is what he has to say and he can't wait to go back once it's broken in "i went down back road in the i4 that wouldn't be as fun in my car" "i'd...

Update. Went in for 1k oil change and asked them to check on the parking brake, they did a VDDM update and it's now working again and it seems the release is actually smoother than before. will see if it last

Nah, limited space is a good excuse to make another trip to the store 😜

The amount of liability coverage makes a difference but not that much. Most of the fee are based on age, driving record and the value of the car. I think the difference between legal minimum for CA and their max available coverage amount is like under $300 a year.

I would pay to have a female voice set..

Hagerty $2000 a year max coverage $1000 deduct 4000 miles

Depends on where you're located and the availability of car transporters It may take up to3-4 weeks for your car to arrive at the dealership on the West Coast

Same , going in for 1K oil change next Tues and will have them redo the alignment.

Dealer being Dealer, I would not be surprised if they try to squeeze more money out of any remaining FE V6 manual. i4 probably not so much.

Were you at GGLC last Sunday?

85-90 is the average on Hwy 5 between San Jose and LA but I usually try to find a pack of cars and put myself in the middle. Yea, luckily I have not been pulled over for like over 20 years but I was always polite and put my hands where they can see it at all times. It's tough being LE when you...

Went to GGLC meet and greet Had coffee and donuts and met a bunch of Lotus owners and Greg from GRP.
