    📓 Journals Diaries of the first Lotus Emira picked up from Hethel - V6 FE - yellow / ice / silver / sport

    I would be requesting a replacement car at this point, just unfathomable they would keep you in such a problematic car for this long.

    Dark Verdant Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I think you can usually tell when a car has PPF on it. That extra shiny look is because the car is basically covered in Saran wrap.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I am planning a test drive this summer in an Atom 4, just trying to find time to ensure NY state will allow it to be registered without too much fuss since it basically is considered a kit car, and then be able to insure it.

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I had a typed page on my PC about the color choices and combos when trying to pick, and I decided silver and yellow had to have upper black pack, no option. Yours spec is classy with the red seats/calipers 👍🏻

    Lack of power steering on day one

    I can just imagine if I had driven my new Emira home 4 hours from the nearest dealer and this happens... unbelievable how they cannot even get the most basic, used since the 1950's type of systems to function.

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    That sounds like a nightmare for a brand new car; even if it was a Toyota Camry I would be very displeased.

    Tall drivers who have taken delivery/tested the car… how’s the fit?

    I didn't like it and I'm just over 6'3". Everyone's body is proportioned differently between legs and torso. My head didn't hit the ceiling, but was very close and stuck way above seat headrest. Legs had enough travel in the seat, just felt too high up when sest was at its lowest. I would...

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    I could understand some of these issues if this was a whole new engine and transmission setup that they had never used before, but this has been in the Evora since 2011, and has had extensive use and testing in that car and in this one. How are these major problems happening so often?!! Sorry...

    I feel like I've made a mistake ordering my Emira....

    Unfortunately my Lotus dealer is 4+ hours from me, so if I had issues like the current ones (a/c not working, wiper speed, car stalling and having lots of warning lights, transmission stuck in gear, leaking coolant, etc) I would not be able to easily get it in to be fixed. Non-Bugs edition...

    Sadly I canceled, bought an R8, recently traded for Shelby GT350R. Maybe someday look at Emira again when they have a special edition with all of the bugs ironed out if it.

    Now $105k in the USA. I’m not seeing the value

    The thing is, Porsche can charge what they want, Ferrari can charge with a lot, etc. Their order books will still be full and dealers will still be able to charge and markup on top of those high prices. There are enough wealthy people out there that continuously buy a new cars that this is not a...

    Drove some interesting cars this week...(plus photos of some other cars)

    I am nearing the end of a short vacation to Southern Florida to visit some family and I decided to rent a couple different cars on Turo. Where I live there are no exciting or fun cars, so this was an opportunity to try something different. First I rented a 2019 Jaguar f type SVR convertible...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I spoke to this dealer in Connecticut mid 2021 when I first learned about the Emira, but never did a deposit or anything with them. I later ended up at the dealer in Buffalo NY, yet this guy just sent me the delay email 🙃😄

    I found out that they're refreshing the lineup for 24, so I postponed my order until the new ones come out. In the meantime, I have my GT350R to keep me busy once the salt is off the roads.

    Building momentum in (very) positive review

    That's fine, then that means that your opinion is not valid in my viewpoint. You don't see me going around and taking every opportunity I can to complain that anybody who thinks the Emira is a good car obviously doesn't know what they're talking about, do you? Take a hint.
