    Savage Geese review

    They're not competition..... Cool cars but beneath the Emira!! They wish they looked and felt this good.

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    I find Savagegeese very dull without enough focus on the driving experience for my tastes, although I appreciate their technical details. Was going to give their Emira review a chance, but sounds like it's not worth it.

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    I don't think the sports suspension is too firm. I think it's just right and smoothes out imperfections nicely, especially at speed. But let's not kid ourselves; it is very firm especially over broken pavement! Every minor and major imperfection is transmitted to the driver. It's razor edged and...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    Took a chance on a local shop. He used a razor blade to trim the PPF pieces and sliced paint off my bumper in 3 places. Also, the seams were clearly visible and edges were jagged. :( I believe the brand was Solar Guard Clear shield and it's held up reasonably well after a decade. The issue was...

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    Great comparison. I like how he reluctantly acknowledged the Emira is out his boxter's league when it comes to design and driver's engagement. FOR THE DRIVERS! Emira with sports suspension is too firm for a GT car.

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I recently got XPEL 8mm precut installed at a shop that I'd seen great work from previously. I'm extremely happy with the results, unlike the first time I got PPF. The fit and finish is top notch and it's completely invisible, except for the roof strip. Edges were wrapped where possible. Would...

    Tint Percentage with Privacy glass?

    I went with 20% tint on the front two windows and am extremely satisfied!! The tint is much lighter than the privacy glass in bright lighting, yet a good match in low lighting.

    i4 Emira vs Mercedes Cla 45 0-60mph

    The I4 needs an aggressive launch to get off the line quickly . Even with large throttle inputs, there will be turbo lag as the turbo hasn't gotten a chance to build boost at launch as it would with launch control or holding the brake and gas.

    i4 Emira vs Mercedes Cla 45 0-60mph

    Turbo lag isn't a factor in 0-60 times due to the turbo being pre-spooled from brake torquing and/or launch control. With 4 wheel traction, the CLA 45 amg can apply much more power to the ground at launch than the Emira, resulting in the clear advantage. Without the aggressive launch, when...

    Took the car out last night...

    I took mine out Friday night and was literally shaking after the drive. The car is too much. I'm flabbergasted. Never have I ever in my life! I can't deal. Is this real life or Fanta sea?

    Key not in car

    If you have the key not in car error, try putting the key fob in the rear in the center console storage area (recommended by manual) or in the bottom of the rear most couple holder (recommended by dealer).

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Took a joy ride around the neighborhood. Took me back to early high school when I would practice on my Dad's car after school. Familiarized myself with the controls and touch points. Someone in a 3 series waived at me and I waived back lol. Gotta remember to be friendly and courteous when out...

    Ride Height..... hence wheel gap....official answer

    The sports chassis sits lower than the touring chassis. It's visible when they're parked side by side. I observed this at the dealer with brand new Emiras. Loosely paraphrasing the dealer, they confirmed the tour / sport springs are seated differently after they lowered a tour suspension for a...

    Tint Percentage with Privacy glass?

    The Emira's privacy glass seems very dark. To the eye, it looks darker than 24.5%. It seems close to the standard 15-20% on factory privacy glass. 20% and 35% are the only choices for the side glass. 20% is preferred. Another consideration is that light through the windshield will lighten the...

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    Regardless of classification, if I'm hosting a supercar event, Emiras and 458s are in. The Cayman is getting bounced at the door.

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    I don't think we actually disagree. I agree the GTR will destroy on a track. However, It's pedestrian by comparison. There are always compromises and give and take. If the GTR looked like the Emira it would be a true supercar no question. I'm not calling the Emira a supercar. It's a sports car...

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    First off, the GTR isn't double the cost of the Emira. It's within 10%. Next, the Emira is not as quick as the others mentioned but is definetly in the same performance league as the others when it comes to handling... Simarly, it's lightweight bonded aluminium chassis is far superior to some...

    No Amber Turn Signals for North America

    The North American Emira does not get amber turn signals like the European model. I loved the look of the amber turn signal and appreciate the added visibility. It is common practice for manufacturers to use the same tail light assembly in multiple markets with different coding for red signals...

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    My buddy called it a supercar. I didn't correct him...... Why spoil the fun? Personally, I consider it a super sports car; in the same realm as the GTR, Vantage and 911 Turbo / GT3 / 2 RS models.
