oh boy, please keep us posted especially of the built date once you find out.

Only a small percentage of Emira owners are registered on this forum. Already having 60 cars affected gives an idea of how big the problem is. Also my visit of the local dealer speaks volume: At least 50% (!) from the cars sitting on the lot had bubbles.

Its not only the doors which makes everything even worse…

As of now it looks like its not only the doors. Cant imagine what all the owners will do once warraty ran out. Really on the fence between buying new, used or buying at all…

I am in the exact same boat as you. GTS 4.0 is a distant second. But this paint problem is really scratching my head. Plus on facebook group someone just posted he now has bubbles on the rear quater (after Lotus already changed doors). This is getting ridicolous.

Yes but what if the blisters show after the 3 year paint warranty? Or the doors got replaced but the blisters appear again after a certain time? I guess we will see in one or two years…

So today I checked out all the emiras which where sitting on the lot of my close Lotus dealer (4mins drive from my home). There were about 10 Emiras sitting outside of which about 5 had paint blisterings on either one or two doors. I checked them not very carefully and they were also covered in...

What do you mean by that?

This is gold.

Ah okay, that makes sense. I didnt count in finance.

You pay over 10 grand a year just for having the Emira?? How are these costs breaked down? Because I made a calculation for myself and it would be less than a third of your amount (tax,insurance,service) You should stop nannying it and start enjoying it :)

I dont get it, we only have 10 V6 manual cars available in the whole country (switzerland). And the prices stay strong (more or less). In my state (out of 26 in switzerland) there are only 2 (!) Emiras registered and one of them is from a dealer…

Thank you. I would run my emira through the machine. Its a car, after all…

Well this (Toyota no more produces the engine) is another and different problem and has been discussed a lot too. I am pretty confident the V6 hits the new european e6 emission regulations so there will be 2025/2026 V6 manual cars. What I am not sure is, if the upcoming faster Emira models (S...

Is this opinion based on some new information or the usual BS we are hearing all over the internet while knowing it is not true? „The bad news is the V6 from Toyota won’t meet emissions regulations for 2025 in Europe, so it’s getting the axe. The other engine, the Mercedes Turbo 4, only comes...

Couldnt read through just yet but is it only the 2.0?

Okay, but not everyone lives in sunny california. That car in the vid is not even THAT dirty… I mean if you daily your Emira in harsh weather and or in (switzerland) winter, I dont think you will be able to „wash“ your car without water in your garage… plus there is dirt/grime/salt and a lot...

Well on the komotec site they state the seats have no approval. Maybe they will work something out for the future

Are these seats homologated for switzerland? I guess not?

While they look great I somehow think they would better fit in an elise or exige being that pure and minimalistic. Nonetheless the stock seats are too much of a couch as well (at least lookwise)

This is really holding me back from buying any used Emira. Its pretty fu€&% up to be honest

Nice congrats. Which Dealer? I am from Switzerland too and this 24% discount seems crazy. Is it just on 2.0 cars? 83k is a HUGE deal! gerne auch per PN:) Liebe Grüsse

While I think it does look great and neat on itself, I dont think it fits the cars interieur not being as minimalistic as lets say an Exige or Elise. Good job nontheless

Arent these warranty times stated in your individual purchase contract of the emira? This is what would be relevant, not some informations written on a website…

I see, this looks just to be in australia… hence the low reaction/interest on this forum I guess.

So this is it? I dont get it… 400 HP as Turbo SE. What dies that mean in the european countries? Turbo SE is what you guys in the US are getting in the first place. Looks like the V6 is still the one to get.

Nice but pretty steep for a few pieces of plastic…

This is also my guess.

Anybody knows?

Yeah, sticker is a no go imho

Why? This is only for cars with AAOS. Does Emira have AAOS?

Yeah not 0 of course, luckily its no fisker ocean :ROFLMAO:

Sure I know it will be pure speculation. The purchase wouldnt be rational at all, I mean its a Lotus. But to be honest on the other side I also dont want to just burn 100k… My dream car has always been a GT4 but after driving it back to back to an Emira, it left me disappointed.

I asked myself a question, what if Lotus doesnt make it this time? They have been in trouble for years but what if they cant turn it around this time? The big ass fat EV cars which have absolutely nothing in common with the Lotus brand dont sell at all according to the numbers. I am really in...

If anybody needs a stellar route in switzerland, I can get you a really really nice route! Roundtrip with 4 mountainpasses.

Didnt read the whole thread, but does this happen more often when cars are driven in wet climates/rain?

He is talking about the Eletre, not the Evija…
