Take some gloves that knobs gonna hurt after 8 hours!

Great comprehensive write up - TY and so many cars to compare it against!

That looks shockingly bad, looks like someone has cut the numbers with a dremmel

I'm assuming that the storage structure is consistent with the hi-tech product used to store the springs in the Harry meets Emira production video?

Decent route Dave.

Did any of the route include fast dual carriageways and/or B roads? When i visited Central the other day the road coming out of the industrial estate had some real jarring pot holes in my M3

Seriously though, I think Shmee raised this as an issue on his test drive. He mentioned about having an imprint on his hand from the gear knob.

Unscrew the knob, visit your nearest demonstrator vehicle and swap out 🤔

Does beg the question are Lotus following up with new owners after a week or two that things are ok with their cars, I'm presuming it won't happen.

Hope you gave the kids some burble and popping as you drove away..

and thats good enough. Vantage is on my radar too after driving Emira

Probably end up having to have 2 test drives, scheduling another one in. Will be expecting a Vantage vs Emira road test review please

Dont panic!! - from the Emira Manaul

Seen this happening at Porsche , 992 2019 convertible I looked at £109,995, - dealer rang me up and said great news we've dropped it 5k. When i was looking at the car they were telling me these things go in 9 days - follow up call was 3 weeks later. The salesman did say that the increased rates...

When i opened and closed the doors in the demo in Nottingham (windows were up) I didnt have to do anything - mind you cant say if i noticed the windows drop slightly upon opening and closing the doors.

Looks like I had stepped into the future when i posted this on October 31st....

Did you really Tom? This coming from a company who hasn’t prioritised any deposit sequence to date. You hoped it would be true as did we all. The shame of it is week days are awkward for most people, and there’s no weekend slots not even for a 4 week period.

Watch weekend test drives be available for people with no deposit.

You tease!!

Don't do it the system will crash and no one will get bookings.

I think I can claim to say it would be a free for all. I was 279 in queue and I'm January delivery or was..

December delivery?

Where's Wonga when you need them ;)

I remember testing the M4 when it first came out and that car when you put the power down certainly wanted to drag you intro a hedge. Pleased the power on the Emira is balanced and linear.

I imagine a lot of people are looking at desirable cars as an investment for flipping and why not; whatever anyone's circumstances are just not sure what the market is for this car. GT4 RS no brainer but an Emira with so-so reviews i'm not sure.

If you put the max down, 36k the optional final payment is the same at 50k but you save 1.1k in interest over 3 years compared to putting down 20k. So it’s not really worth putting the extra 15k down.

So doing the figures on mY 77,195 car. Lotus are wanting just shy of 51k at the end of a 3 year term (20k down). That means, apart from financing 3k of delivery and road tax, they anticipate 26k depreciation over 3 years, nearly 9k a year. That’s only 35% depreciation over 3 years which sounds...

This is where my head is. I have outright cash to buy the car. But if I put 20k down and borrowed the rest on pcp I pay 7.9% for now on the balance, let’s say 60k. If I put that 60k in an interest account let’s say 5%, my borrowing is only 2.9%. Yes I’m paying a bit of interest BUT what happens...

Wtf?? I’d be 6 grand down already what with road tax, delivery charges and full black pack.

Got to be 2015 year as they put the 8 speed gearbox in it, if it’s older it has the average 6 speed box. I know as a few years ago this was on my wanted list before the Emira came along and Covid drove the used prices of these up and up.

There’s a mint 2015 GTS boxster (981) for sale at a Porsche dealer, looks lovely at £57k - not depreciated at all.

I was told on Thursday that a few people hadl already approached the agent to reslae their cars as they were bought as investments.

I didn't try with putting more sound towards the back of the car, that may simulate more bass to the ears.

Buy if two people are sat in the seats how does leather Vs alcantara make a difference ? Two people were sat in the seats when I tried it.

It's not making much if any bass no matter the adjustments made to treble, midi or bass. It's like the amp isn't providing the power to drive the bass

Nimbus should be the mandatory colour for all demonstrator models! 😊

What we need is someone to try the bass on high playing streets of Philadelphia, that wil not only test the bass but any rattles in the car.

Thieves like us - New Order

I messed about for 5 minutes with bass, treble, midi I still couldn’t get that rich bass feel from Absolute 80’s 😀
