Quite a great list! Love a bunch from that list!

The posts above are in reverse chronological order starting with the Emira today and going backwards. Interspersed with those, there are a bunch of other notable cars I have owned that aren’t “reviewed” here. I would happy to help answer any questions anyone has on these or any car. 2016 Ford...

For those interested in my views and comparisons between the Emira and many of my past cars (including the GT4 you mentioned), I just wrote up and posted this: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/emira-vs-my-past-cars.5346/

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Spec Platinum Silver, back interior, 7-speed manual transmission, SUPER rare SportDesign package (GT3-ish front bumper and duckbill wing in the back), heated and ventilated 18-way seats. Pros So comfortable… the seats were excellent. Being heated and ventilated took...

2008 Lotus Elise SC Spec Storm Titanium with black interior, manual, supercharged, Rota Torque wheels, AIM MX2E gauge cluster, Android head unit, ShiftR111 kit, GRP goodies, full Exige clam swap, Larini exhaust Pros No car unites the driver and the machine better than an Elise/Exige. None...

2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Spec Sapphire Blue, Ceramic Brakes, Carbon buckets, full leather everywhere Pros Balance, poise, precision, confidence… these are things we want in our cars. The 981 GT4 delivers on ALL accounts. The electronic steering is no where near as good as the Elise but darn...

2020 Lotus Evora GT Spec Exige Orange, black interior with orange stitching, manual transmission Pros Right after unexpectedly selling the 981 GT4, I needed a replacement. My local Lotus dealer (what a blessing to have one so close to my home!) had a new Exige Orange Evora GT that they were...

2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus Spec Suzuka gray with red interior, carbon everywhere, ESS Supercharger Kit (825hp), Fabspeed exhaust Pros I have loved the design of the Audi R8 since its inception. Low, wide, looks like it was chiseled from a solid block, simply gorgeous. I think it’s one of the more...

2021 Porsche 718 Spyder Spec Miami Blue (with XPel Stealth Matte PPF), Carbon Buckets, Carbon Ceramics, ALL of the leather!, manual transmission, Kline Inconel full exhaust system from engine to tips Pros Holy heck… what a machine. The steering is as good as electronic power steering can get...

2016 Alfa Romeo 4C Spyder Spec Madreperla White, Red interior, Spider Track Pack 3 Pros Second to the Emira, this car is gorgeous. I love the design elements, swoops, curves, sculpted and molded in a seductive way. It is SO wide! The width is amplified by its short length. The interior...

2024 Lotus Emira First Edition Spec Seneca Blue with full black pack, Ice Gray interior, manual transmission, V6 with yellow calipers Pros The Emira takes the Evora GT’s formula, sands out some rough edges, slaps on a dollop of refinement and technology, sprinkles in some reliability fears and...

Thank you! I am in Marlborough. I am actually getting the 3rd cat delete and the Milltek Valve Controller installed today. PM me and we can setup some time to meet up!

Check to see if the car has PPF on it anywhere. That can be an easy value-add of anywhere from $2500-$7000 (if it's just nose or full body). Mine had the entire front clip as well as a few high impact areas already PPF'd so I figure it had about $2500 worth of it at least. That made me feel...

I purchased from a Porsche dealer near me. Use my deal as your comp for negotiations. Every car for sale on the market now has flexibility (apart from some super exclusive stuff). But ultimately, don't let a couple grand sway you from a car you want! As for issues with mine, I have had...

I just purchased my first edition manual with 700 miles for $94,500. While not as good of a deal as mine, it seems fairly solid. I would bet there is a couple grand worth of negotiating room on that Magma one though.

I live in central Massachusetts. I have a fun performance AWD SUV I will be using for all boring transportation needs. However, for all fun drives I do during the fall/winter/spring, I fully intend on using the Emira! I just ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season tires that should...

This exact same situation arose for me, as well. Exact same symptoms. After a few hours, they started working again for one short drive. And then… back to not working. I’ve reached out to the dealer to see what’s up. Waiting for an appointment.

Drove from central Massachusetts to the Hamptons. Despite being raw and visceral in so many ways, it actually out “911’s” the 911! It’s a sensational GT car!

Week in the Hamptons

I did a 110 mile highway drive on the way back home on Sunday in my 3.5L manual. Averaged 28.9mpg on the highway. The 125 miles prior to that were driven very… um… enthusiastically. During those faster paced miles, the average was down at 18.2mpg.

Drove my new beauty home for the first time from the dealer!

Absolutely! I plan on putting together a pretty comprehensive comparison and assessment of just that in another post!

I would love one of these when you have the new high powered MagSafe issue for the 16 Pro Max sorted!

Well, I’ve been around the block a time or two. Owned 3-4 BMW M products, all of the Audi RS stuff including an R8 V10 Plus, Porsche fun with 944’s, 968, 981 GT4, 718 Spyder, 911, a bunch of GT350 Mustangs, an Alfa 4C, a new Civic Type R and of course, a few previous Lotus cars (2008 Lotus Elise...
