Yep, I 100% agree to disagree 😂

Ahh, fair enough. When you get round to using the paddles it’ll bring a whole new F1 dimension to the drive! 😃

Please don't tell me you actually drive it in Auto rather than the paddle shift 😬😅

Are you on a crusade to vilify anyone that chooses to leave the brand or question it? You do understand the meaning of 'final straw' don't you??

Ahh, fair enough. I guess you've opted for Cup 2 tyres then if it's a garage queen until the warmer weather? I salute your ability to not even drive the car - after 18 months of waiting I wouldn't last more than 2 minutes before I'd be ripping it through the B roads!

Any reason for selling it so quickly?

The car is without doubt a beauty to behold. It's also pretty much the only thing keeping me 'in' at this point. I hope you find something better suited soon....

I agree. WBAC are offering £80k for them, and they have to resell them.....and only a few months ago they were offering £65k .......but that can quickly go the other way again if the ones on the used market don't sell

Do you think you'll miss it or have the problems with it made it easy to part with?

I guess it's more of a reflection of the demand for the car. I'm sure anyone that's not planning on keeping it forever would be keen to know it'll have good residuals.

If I have a 1 in 10 chance that my new car will have an issue when it arrives, I'd class that as a REAL problem....and more of a problem is the fact that some of the people reporting issues have now had their cars off the road for weeks. I personally don't want to wait all this time for my car...

The UK has Consumer Law that protects us against faulty goods. If the car is not as would be reasonably expected then we have the right to reject it for a full refund. Certainly not the outcome anyone would want after such a long wait. Lotus better up their game because this is getting...

There is no real 'comfort' setting in the GT4, it's either hard or harder 😂. From my drive of the Sport Emira I felt there wasn't much between it and the GT4 in 'comfort'. But 25 mins on unfamiliar roads aren't an ideal comparison I guess.. Tour Emira is WAY softer than the GT4, that much I...

Emira Sport = GT4 normal setting Emira Tour = Much softer than GT4 GT4 Hard setting = harder than Emira Sport

I would say tour is WAY softer than a GT4. I had a GT4 for 2 years and I agree that the harder setting was too hard for normal roads but I would say Sport Emira is much closer to GT4 IMO.

I’m pretty sure someone on here with the same predicament escalated it to Matt Windle following no success with CC and got it sorted quickly after.

Congrats! I have to say that the Tan interior is possibly the classiest spec...along with Ice Grey 👍🏻. I went for black alcantara however, because I was too much of a p*ssy to spec anything different without seeing them in the flesh!

They'll probably jump straight into a cancelled slot and get the car before us! 😂

I agree. I think with tour suspension it's a great car.........if you want a more laid back tour style of drive I opted for sport suspension, which for me felt right and inline with my driving style but I don't think it matches the way the car drives as a whole or it's overall performance. I...

I think that's only the case if say you put £30k of options on a particular cars that isn't defined by a model specific variant like FE for the Emira vs Base. A Vantage with £30k of options, to most buyers on the used market, will just be a Vantage judged on its price.....usually starting with...

Just drive it so fast that you sh*t yourself and option the tan leather 😉 Saves on the heated seats and you can put the saved money towards driving lessons for your parking skills 😂

Did I read somewhere that the Base doesn't have an LSD as standard ? I'd defo want an LSD in a base car if it was not part of the Driver's Pack

Tactful approach 😉........stop the 'ins' vs the 'outs' and let's hear from the (alleged) 9 out of 10 cars that don't suffer major faults. 👍🏻

Great car but running costs and McLaren foibles are well known! On a different note, I never knew the racing driver helmet on the vent controls in the Emira were stolen from McLaren 😱

Good point! The Yaris engine and gearbox in the Apline would be 😍 And then in steps the Alpine again 😂

Yeah, it's a lot of money for sure....... if it was a V6 with a Porsche badge I'm sure people would be falling over themselves to pay 50-80 grand overs like the GT4 RS. I think most people in the market just don't want to spend £50-£90k on a four banger but I think if it looked like the Emira...

I agree re the engine size, it's a tough sell....and it's actually £90k! But they will be a rare thing as they'll only produce 32 for the UK in 2023 and another 32 for 2024. When you stretch past the power output and look at the stats, it p*sses all over a lot of other cars in the segment and...

What are peoples thoughts on the Alpine A110 R?

There was point in 2019/2020 where you could pick them up for £90k

A question I regularly ask myself!!

The family wagon!

If we're snowed in then what else are us petrol heads going to shop for? 😂

I'm massively on the fence too and nowhere near the d-day you've got. But if you've got reservations at this late stage then pulling the plug won't be the end of the world. I mean, you can buy one off Autotrader for a few grand over list right now and that will be one of many that have been...

Maybe it's the 30 months of orders of refundable deposits that keep people in the game...But ultimately, until anyone has to put their non-refundable money into the whole value of the car, it's all hypothetical

What a car!! Defo on my radar. I totally understand the worry about driving vs residuals and I had the same reservations with my GT4, but looking back I wish I'd cared less and just enjoyed it more. I fear that the same fate will come to early Emira owners - worrying about residuals- and...

Bang for buck, I think they're great value and you don't get the same negative vibes as some other brands from non-car people for whatever reason - even in Hell Magna Green! Even the R is getting dangerously close to Emira money now...

AMG GTR. Sold it in early 2022 to prepare for my Summer 2022 Emira delivery 😂. Can't really remember why I sold it for the Emira but I sure wish I'd kept it for a bit longer!

Thanks for the info and I really feel sorry for you.....it must be gutting after, what should be, an exciting time with a new car. Keep us posted 👍🏻

Yes, but you don't like the Yaris or the Alpine.....so you've clearly got no taste at all 😂 I drove my friend's F-Type S a few times when I had a GT4 and it underwhelmed me in every way possible.
