    V6 auto: Minor issues at 1100 miles after first service

    V6 auto. I had service at 1020 miles. For 180 miles after service, car generally coped really well. I drove really hard on ACH for 40 miles. Car was fine. However there are 2 minor issues: 1. For 1/5 chance, car unsettles and shakes when I switch gear from P to R, even when parking brake is on...

    Dealer Not Refunding Order Not Built

    did you pay deposit using creditcard? Call credit card company and make a reverse charge or dispute. If it is amex, they normally side with buyer. I disputed a couple times.

    I had a blast today. First time rev to 6.5K rpm after break-in. To fellow Angelenos: slow down on ACH. Cops are enforcing.

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    458. If it was not for the greasy buttons I’d have owned one in 2020.

    Auto only: Turbo vs V6?

    6AT has the full hydraulic steering, while the i4 has partially electronically assisted steering. Also 6AT is faster 0-30. It just loses its leg in 40-60. I have always been driving turbo cars. Mainly porsche ones. The linearity is huge plus for me with v6.

    $750 quoted for galpin for first 1000 oil change and inspection. That is 30min of work. Is there better priced service in Lotus of Orange? I can work from Irvine for 1d.

    Is it normal to have these many swirl marks on a new car?

    For west side. Impero is good. However it is easy to scratch bottom of the car going up the ramp/curb. I’d try federal ave sam’s stream.

    The great black roof dilemma...

    I was going to turn lotus letter and exhaust tips to black. Then I found black tips to be completely invisible at night and silver lotus letters looks black due to the tilt angle.

    Is it normal to have these many swirl marks on a new car?

    I’d ask someone local for the price of stage 2 and ask for that discount to dealer. Or if dealers offer paint correction and XPEL coating, I will take that - you can always say the coating isn’t good enough if you haven’t paid full amount.

    The great black roof dilemma...

    I can wrap a colored roof to black with little $, but to color match the color if I bought the black roof, it won’t be possible.

    Is it normal to have these many swirl marks on a new car?

    Normal. Mine came with these marks and I asked dealer to discount for these marks. Stage 2 paint correction will smooth them to an extent that you won’t ever notice.
