    Did lotus rob us on horsepower?

    You are lucky to have that road and do those speeds and not worry... But here in U.S we have long roads out west that you could go that fast but a smokey will be lurking as you flash by.. But in the East there is just to much traffic to get those speeds out of Emira that I know of.. I know a...

    Gold or bronze wheels on Dark Verdant Green Emira

    It is all personal to the person who owns Emira... I never like black wheels and had a few vehicles that did and had them powder coated.. Nimbus Emira I ordered the light silver wheels and was all ready to change them. But looking at car they are growing on me and may leave them for a year or...

    It is a personal choice of what we like..I have a Nimbus and with light wheels and luv it..my only mistake was getting yellow calipers ..But I never saw a clean Emira when I went for test drive and when I went to see mine at dealers it was so dirty...And when mine was ready for pickup it was the...

    How is the V6 Manual doing on the used US market these days?

    But do not forget buyers fee of 4250 on that Emira on Bring A Trailer and if it needs to be shipped another fee + taxes... A little cheaper but now a used car going through other peoples handling the Emira with chance of something getting damaged... Glad I purchased a new one..

    First impression of my i4 from a current V6 manual owner

    What do you need a gauge for... You get used to it and you will know when to push it and into corners how far to take it. Enjoy your new ride and let us know what you really think of it.. Right now in NJ we are getting snow and salt put down so I am guessing 4 more weeks before the roads are...

    Aftermarket Blind Spot Monitors?

    I agree with you...If I could have purchased without Air Conditioning ,radio.heated/electric seat it would be in my garage... I use none of it what ever I drive..Ex motorcycle rider and all waste and as you said more to go wrong.

    Aftermarket Blind Spot Monitors?

    I would take this as a NO....And guess we will still have to Drive the car and pay attention more..

    I4 Vs V6

    This I4 / V6 conversation will go on until end of Emira....Had the clutch not been so heavy this 73 yr old would have owned one.. But both knees bone to bone....I own a custom Polaris Slingshot turbo 5 speed and clutch is like butter and had Emira had that I would own it... But to be honest the...

    End of the Emira V6 order is now confirmed to be Feb 2025

    Glad you were able to have owned a very special car for 17 years and it allowed you in the end to have funds to help daughter and yourself with Emira... I guess during the ownership did it cost good amount to maintain such a vehicle for it to be worth something at the end... I hand built my own...

    End of the Emira V6 order is now confirmed to be Feb 2025

    The 206 and 246 were my favorite my whole life and do feel the Emira is as close in design as I can come.. I could not afford them in early days and surely could not afford one today.. But the Emira will outshine it in every way on the road today..

    Loving my I4 FE Emira

    When all the salt and brine are washed away here in NJ about another month I will let you know how I feel about owning the I4 vs driving the V6 a few test miles. And I paid for the car and not thinking of any gift other than the thank you when I paid and left.

    New MR2 from Toyota v Lotus Emira.

    And most likely No Lotus Evora / Emira will pass you on any day trip you take. But bet you can not count the Porsches or Corvettes in that day trip ??

    New MR2 from Toyota v Lotus Emira.

    Does have a Evora look ...I never like Evora after S1 body change ..The reason why I did not buy a Corvette was to chisel looking ..The Emira reminds of my first love of cars a Ferrari 206/246 that I could not afford then or now and curves to body line that Emira translates to my eyes.
