It's not as though the uK never gets any rain to test this out in real world prototype testing. I guess this is the price you pay to have an exotic looking car

In the last vide Harry sees 10000 miles or yearly, no running in service required.

Is this the same sheet Ethel, the cleaner, binned the other day?

I found the supercharger noise irritating for a daily.

If you whisper his name quietly and often he may come back. 😀

I imagine the majority of sales were on PCP like for most manufacturers, used purchases at this price are in the main PCP. If that demographic hasn't got the cash to spend we will see values tumble.

Let’s see Harry’s later videos as he calls out in his pickup video how the seats aren’t totally comfortable.

And a lot of people saying No it’s ok I’ll wait. Wait and see how early next year plays out.

Agree. Never have I been so desperate for Lotus NOT to call me about January delivery

But still down on purchase including road tax delivery and admin fee

Is it the retailers keeping the pricing high, i.e. wanting to make a lot of profit. on the older Lotus's.

What product did he use Mark?

Never mind Harry’s videos we are all eager to hear your own test drive reviews when you do them!

Probably , I’m used to 18 way seats in my BMW so spoilt.

The lumber support is good, I felt the seat just had too much padding in it like you sat on instead of in the seat.

I echo his comment about the seats i found them hard at the base of my spine and it wasnt the lumber adjustment. Be interested to how he found the interior road noise during that long trip. - if the supercharger whine got on his nerves.

i thought that too, not sure if its the lighting.

All I know is the Porsche Knobs are different to the Lotus Knobs .. there's a joke in there somewhere

What does your heart say, I've done this kind of thing before but your heart rules. What was the interior noise like compared to the Emira, IE riad noise in the Porsches?

My M3 2013 Xenon lights are self levelling, wife's new mini LEDs are self levelling. Older cars with our self levelling had a switch to adjust beam.

Probably why there's no news on the I4 as well, the I4 will be quicker and Lotus don't want to release that information officially yet.

Not sure depends if we encourage him back with niceties

When did you call them, perhaps my call handler wasn’t best informed.

You need to throw in a Vantage too 😗

And test drives in V6 cars 🤔

That's what they told me Tom.

Answered my own question with Lotus today, for anyone's who interested. You get put back to the back of the I4 queue and I4's wont ship till late Q1 2024 at the moment so that means I probably wouldn't get a car till Q4 2024 or Q1 2025.

I don't need finance, however I'll seek to delay my order or swap to an I4 until I know more about the economy, deprecation on Emira's, how the servicing and fault fixing is going, and also how well the I4 is received.

We're all doomed i tell you doomed. Seriously though i know some people say people will pay whatever to have shiny shiny new but that's certainly not the view of motor traders. Used cars are sticking and the market is saturated; most purchasers are finance based on cars and paying upwards of...

Leonard advised me to day Lotus's interest rate on PCP has gone up by 1% to 8.9%.

Did that have the touring suspension?

Thanks for the update.

Hi, Has anyone swapped from the V6 to I4 in the UK in the past few months? If you did what did Lotus say about your placing in the I4 queue compared to your deposit date? Just asking for a friend??

You've been spoilt by having a great car already 😀

Surely a lower final payment is best, IE run the term and pay 40k but the cars worth 50k rather than pay the final payment of 60k and the cars only worth 50k?? Lotus don't call it a balloon they call it option to purchase or something like that

I wonder if, these first few cars flipped don't get a large overs, Lotus will alter it's PCP rates to cope with the anticipated larger depreciation. Mind you this is counterbalanced by any inflationary increase next year.

What's wrong with Auto Trader?

Is that true Tom, or your opinion, or tongue in cheek?

Kind of makes sense, I know most prestige dealers made 5k on cars up to 70k, now I've noticed them wanting to make up to 12k on cars up to 100k.

Thanks for this. Interesting as to why there so little appetite for the Emira in the trade.
