    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    I can't see how a C8 feels like an Emira? Side by side the C8 would walk away power-wise.

    Let's talk about the Emira's seats...

    Excuse my slanty eye that makes me look like I've had a few, was focusing on the selfie 😄 It's certainly the lowest headrest I have encountered, I'm 6'3", legs are a little long and average torso, for reference.

    What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

    When you say the RSQ8 is for work "off-road", you mean touring your winery? 😄

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I have enjoyed this forum waaaaay more than any other I've been on for so many reasons. I will certainly hang around, but I am no longer watching every, single post like a binge-watch fest! Put a deposit on this beauty today, looking forward to picking it up  soon...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I emailed the dealer last night to finalize canceling my order. Normally I don't really hear much from them, but I got an email back very quickly this morning and it was kind of odd and left things wide open: "Thank you for your feed back but I have remind you this car to me is the European...

    I hate that the UK people still aren't getting to test drive! What the heck?!

    I feel like this "it's a momentum car" thing sounds a lot like "don't worry babe, it's not about size, it's the motion of the ocean" 😂

    I ended up cancelling the test drive as I am working on buying a 2018 RWS R8, which I am waiting to test drive.

    Plan B activated

    Don't believe a word I said then, I obviously have no credibility because I am considering a car revered to have exceptional handling and street presence. Guess we should only look at "European cars", lest we become average, stupid Americans. The Emira had exactly what I was looking for, I...

    It is a rattling gear noise, I heard it while test driving, very audible. It sounds like gear lash, mostly at Lowe's RPM

    Well then, I had made my comment in jest, but you took it quite seriously. I won't waste much time replying to all that nonsense, but my mind was not made up before getting there, I also didn't mind the road trip, and my wife doesn't care one bit about what car I drive. She would still be...

    Is this guy a plant from Lotus? Came out of nowhere and has nothing but really good things to say. Hmmm....

    A special treat coming ̷s̷o̷o̷n̷ ̷ ̶t̶o̶m̶o̶r̶r̶o̶w̶ sometime .... NOW LIVE :)

    Only 6 months late, and they made a customer do the filming once again instead of their own professional photographers or videographers. Makes no sense

    Some neat cars at the dealer event yesterday, rare Exige included

    It was sc'd. This dealer has some neat stuff. Like, the actual jacket James Bond wore in a movie he drove a Lotus, etc.

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    If it had 475hp, slightly more space for my feet, and a shifter I liked, I would stick around for sure. Everyone likes different things. Some people are happy with 200hp.

    Hethel Yellow Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I think that color yellow with black pack and black wheels would be a second choice right behind magma with the same combination. It really is a nice yellow, and I don't usually like yellow cars.

    Some neat cars at the dealer event yesterday, rare Exige included

    Yes, and this dealer is maybe 1.5 hours from Watkins. The owner is head of the classic car race they do there every year. Apparently there was a guy around yesterday who is president of the USA Lotus owners club or something, and his son Brian was the guy there from Lotus. Great people, I...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Thank you. I was really hoping to test drive an Evora (edited the typo!) while I was there, but the owner didn't have his with him. Though, I'm guessing it wouldn't be all too different with the same engine and transmission. I really am not a huge fan of my wife tesla, other than it costs $8 to...

    I am test driving Saturday!! (Western NY)

    They have a really nice Pantera there in their small showroom, I thought of you, but forgot to take a picture. It's on their website if you look it up, Lotus of Western New York.

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Pedals would need more pointed driving shoes, the guys there agreed that is what they use. It would help, but when I put a foot on the brake and one on the pedal, my feet were touching with sneakers on. Suppose with smaller feet and shoes it would be ok.

    Some neat cars at the dealer event yesterday, rare Exige included

    So I've seen maybe 1 Lotus in my life, but my dealer in Western NY has some neat cars. I sat in them, I could not physically drive them as I am too tall, but pretty cool either way. There was an LF1 version of the Exige, they said it's basically a 1 of 1 car, commemorating a race win from back...
