Congratulations @Andrew P! If you drive near marlow on your festive outings, I'd love to stand on the roadside and stare! Although when I get mine, you will be banned from Marlow as if there is going to be too many, I may as well have bought a Porsche 🙄

I'll let you know when it happens!

I'll race you in whatever porsche you end up buying😜

This is my favourite watch... its a FOREVER watch as I bought it for a sefl drive safari trip to Africa so I didn't get my arm taken off. One of my best life memories are attached to this purchase! Incredible country and resilient people.

Love that... Some things are meant to be!

And did you buy a watch from the store? If not, tut tut @Leonard we will only keep our physical stores which provide the interaction with product and person if we actually buy from them, not just say that the experience is better in them! Sorry to single you out... But it is rant day😜. About...

I have been pleasantly surprised by them. I have a local Indy guy who has looked after it for last 6 years. Service every year... £500ish. Some suspension stuff... Springs/bushes etc. Speak £2k one year. But that's been the biggest spend. Looking at a new cluch coming next year probably...

MY FOREVER... f430... Had for 8 years. Boyhood dream come true (although technically speaking boyhood dream was 355) but I consider this a better option as I have put 18k on it with little fuss. My wife gave me the final push to actually buy it. We then used it as our wedding car and have...

My dad bought his 'forever' car about 15 years ago... It was a porsche boxster. Luckily he was just justifying the purchase to himself... He has had about 5 more 'forever' cars since! 🤣

Because if my LDA day was anything to go by, driving round in circles (the action, not the person!) makes you vom!

For a while yes. Until all us old relics who know how to drive a manual are pushing up daisies... Then my flappy paddle version will be victorious as the pension provider!

This should be in the reviews thread... Best one yet... Nothing factual, just emotional! I told my wife about your reaction... She thinks we're all mad😁

Yep, it just strikes me as a massive 'oops didn't see that happening' moment! . Lots of time was probably spent on the design in wind tunnels and even when it went outside, I guess nobody had to open the boot! I was thinking some king of rubber seal pushed over the forward edge of body work on...

I've got 1 keeper already too! And my 5 year old already has his eyes on this one when he's old enough...it'll be the only way he gets to choose his own speed and direction by then! But, If I get the chance to pick up one at sub even 70% within 2 years (the likely time frame of when I actually...

There is a strong possibility of this I think. There may even be a sweet spot for those wanting to buy second hand to avoid the wait... Before the base model comes out with price increases. But for those where cost of ownership is a notable factor, to continue, is to rely on the price lift of...

Im with you... Save the wait! And maybe save some £!

A couple of other things I should add... Contrary to a few comments on here I felt the pedals were almost too far apart! I'm size 10. Head rest felt almost too low! . I'm 6'. The power isn't amazing. It's fun. I would question the need for any more power in a manual. DCT, sure, give it all you...

Just had my 30 minutes... My feelings... Looks great. Really comfortable drive. Tour chassis. I have sport ordered and will need a sport chassis drive, but I'm perfectly happy with a slightly harder ride than the tour. Sound in cabin great for me at low revs... Not too loud at all. Can hold...

I'm older than I want to be, but I'm hoping to out live the Emira production line!

I've not followed the i4 production at all. So I'm sorry but can't help you in anyway. I could guess at some contradictions occurring through websites not being updated yet?

I'm confused. Com! Lotusisconfused. Com! Weareallconfused. Com!

October. Tbh, I'm disappointed with the delay in terms of what it is doing to Lotus's reputation on top of the already pretty disastrous customer service. The actual impact of delay for me isn't the end of the world as I didn't sell anything to make room for it. It'll probably make the flippers...

Well they'll definitely be a lot more real life I for out there. So I will be able to make an informed decision about what to do... There might even be a hint of the upgraded power option coming soooooon!

V6. Ordered 2021

So I have just had notice of a delay until 2024 for my First (🤔😂) edition! I will tell myself that's its so they can iron out the niggles!

Genuine question... Why would lotus care whether people bought v6 or i4?

Agreed. The reliability was a draw for me. Seems strange to link lotus with reliability though 🤔

Well that reads a much closer comparison than I would have thought. I haven't driven the newer one, but the old vantage compared to the emira when I did the LDA was a completely different animal. And I wayyyy preferred the drive of the emira. But then you'd like to think so with 14 years...

For me, it's an absolute beauty of a car. Definitely up their with looks of the emira. (I know, I'm feeling brave😬) But must be a very different drive surely? I drove a 2008 version (so yes, old), but it didn't feel like it was even meant to compete with this type of car. Big long bonnet...

I agree. Definitely more positives than negatives. As per normal, the negatives have been what has been focused on because everyone can have a say on how it could be improved in that area. When it is good, nothing needs to be said on it. I think everyone (including journos!) expected more from...

Interesting last couple of pages of comments! It made me think its an even better fit for me 😁. I don't want a go kart... I want to take the wife out for dinner in it and go to the gym. Do a couple of road trips to Wales and France! But if this has 90 or even maybe 80%, of the driving fun of...

If I thought there were choices for me, I'd have bailed by now. But I don't want a porsche (great cars, but too numerous) and I my main priority is looks (I know, so vain!) ... So really they've got me by the short and curlies! Come on Lotus, keep all this incompetence coming... I'll still be...

Would also be madness... If it was in some wierd transport mode, surely delivery man would've set this so he could get in/out?

Exactly my thoughts.

That is ridiculous! There's a lot of things that have cropped up and I've thought, oh well, would've been nice but never mind. But the windows not dropping automatically is Crazy! Hard enough to remember yourself... But you have to remember to tell every passenger just before they get out to...

I also think a few will get burnt here as IMO there will be a few to make a £ or 2 if they choose to flip in first 6 months. But I think we re heading for turbulent times and when the flips start hanging around more than a week and the £ delta isn't that great, there will be a few cancellations...

My money is on the fact we will never see a second shift. By the time Lotus get their parts/whatever issues sorted, rates will be higher, inflation will drive the price up and deposits will be withdrawn at a rate that don't make sense to up production. It would be disastrous for lotus if they...

Guessing Lotus has them all on back order at the moment... Hope. Nobody gets a puncture 😬!

Love the rear... Maybe I'll get an Evora rear end to modify my Emira!

So someone told me the starting tread depth on the cup 2's starts at less... Does anyone know if this is the case? Is there a different wear rating? I will certainly be driving this each month of the year, but if its really cold I'll probably take my pick up or nick the wife's car. So unlikely...
