It is cool unless you left the stereo on high volume when you left the car last.

Such a great colour, thanks for sharing.

Hollow promises on delivery month after month.

Alcantara but I was sat in the drivers seat and salesman in passenger.

The Bass does seem to come from behind the seat

Interest rate from BOE gone up another .75% - expect the rate to rise from Lotus is in the next month or less.

I tried the KEF stereo today and it sounded so -so. The equalizer is simply MiD, Treble and Bass there isn't a proper equalizer. Its a very clear sounding stereo, not very loud and the Bass is missing. It doesnt have the Bass you feel in your seat. I'm reviewing it against a 2013 HK stereo in my...

I visited the Nottingham dealership today to review the build quality as @Emiragirl identified some build issues which to be fair were there but she has a great eye for detail. The car has real prescience and was sat next to a 911 and a California and didnt look out place.

That looks menacing.

But there was promoition of the KEF system and claims it was an expensive option. It needs to be on a par with Bose and Harman Kardon systems. I do like a good sound system in a car and banging bass is important to me. It’s one of the things I’ll be analysing in my test drive.

If the shipping costs are being blamed as part of the problem why do they ship cars abroad ?? It must be to increase profits margins

The Mini does have a better quality interior but for driving the Yaris GR is pretty good. I had a deposit down for a delivery in 2021 but pulled it when i gathered my thoughts together. They are a great Q car.

So that's where BMW got the idea for the bucket seats and section in the middle of the chair!

Doesn't make sense does it. Let's send out a car as a demo - make sure its not representative of the quality we aspire to. New to the brand, Bob, turns up with his BMW/Mercedes/Porsche does a quick walk round and thinks yeah Lotus quality is still poor - right back to Porsche for my Pepsi Max...

No mortgage, beat that!

And it sounds like some cars leaving Hethel are as good as being second hand with the faults on them,..

The Cali "Accountant"

What's your view on M4? Its looking like one of my go to cars to test drive if the Emira is a let down.

Reminds me of this case some years back with a Porsche UK Dealership .... https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/14121215.porsche-enthusiast-sues-bolton-dealership-in-row-over-200000-dream-car/

It's not as though the cars are flying out of production, they arent up to full speed.

You’d think that Lotus quality checks at each building station and at the PDI would pick this up. This doesn’t bode well at all. This is the car people are going to see and drive and make a decision to progress on. I’m in Nottingham Thursday so will swing by and take some photos if the car is...

There’s a review of the manual supra against a cayman GTS on pistonheads. I don’t like the Supra but that colour and the kit on it looks tasty.

BMW has put there’s up today to 9.9%

Know it well, once saw David Dickinson near Pressbury in his Bentley. I knew it was him as he looked like an ompa lumpa, all bronzed. And Alex Ferguson at the M +S near there too.

agree something has got to give. I see QE is now being reversed so low interest rates won’t be back in the foreseeable future. Not a good time to buy an 80k car with a so so stereo.

Did you try the equaliser and bass settings at all?

Plus there's been no discounting required as cars have been difficult to source.

What was the handover like @Steve O - how long did they stay with you and how big is the transporter :) Looks stunning.

Bank of England rate review is either end of this week or next and rates are predicted to raise by another 0.75%. On the bright side cheaper than Porsche.

Stand down, disaster averted. Funding found.

When has Lotus prioritised deposit holders based on date of deposit, I can see arranging test drives becoming a free for all. Once that link is in the public domain Bob and his mates,who aren't early depositers, will be getting test drives ahead of genuine ones... Just sayin.. Let's hope the...

I'm holding firm on black pack and privacy. After all we can't change the spec now... 🤔

I think it’s just an error. It would be bad practice to approve you and then “unapprove you”.

Lotus could have got x millions already pre purchased at a good interest rate and so can give 6.9% to x amount oif cars until that money has gone. BMW are offering 4.9% on some new cars.

You are damn right about that feel good factor about spending 80k. Even at Porsche I got two cans of Pepsi max and a cake just for looking at the cars..

It's a tough one, most aren't in the position of outlaying cash and the majority of cars are on pcp. I'd question whether the Emira is worth the extra investment over the GT4. Both are great cars. If interest is high people can't afford PcPs and therefore less get sold. Does that mean that as...

I thought in his video update he was delaying the delivery of the Emira - perhaps he got told he would be a late 2023 if he delayed his order and so thought sod it best get it soon...

Cracking memento that
