I’ve got to have one of those!

None of those issues.

The Emira has sold pretty well, but I suspect it hasn't made them much if any money. The warranty costs alone must be wiping out a huge chunk of profit. I’d love to know how much of a loss they made on my car! (mine could be the reason they could close Hethel!)

The buck stops at the MD. You can’t change culture from the bottom up, it’s a top down process. The feeling a lot of people have got of Lotus is that they didn’t. /don’t care about their customers. I know of a few people who’ve contacted Matt Windle directly and got either no response or a less...

Oh no! If we wait until we’re both on the road, it might be 2026!

When you read that, you have to ask the question why Geely promoted Matt Windle?

I’m hoping my car will be back from Lotus Colchester by then. If not, I’ll have to be in my courtesy car!

I was in Geneva a couple of weeks back and saw an Evora. Not that many made, so presume it would be pretty rare in Switzerland.

Sounds like I’ve been reasonable lucky (not with the car of course, that’s a different story), but I’ve had two courtesy cars, one for the 5 months the car was last in for warranty and I’ve just been given an XC40 this time, while they repair the the things they missed last time and things they...

Any manual gearbox will do, other than the one they currently fit to the V6!

To be clear, I’m not an electric car fan however, statistically an ICE car is more likely to go up in flames than an electric car. For sure, the number isn’t zero, but it’s been blown out of proportion by people with a vested interest in their failure and/or people not wanting to let go of...

Just think what it would have been like, if they’d ploughed the development money into customer service……

Yes, but……. It goes back in on Monday to fix the issues that a) they missed last time and b) the issues they caused doing the work last time

Mine’s a V6 manual. Performance is good, but it could do with a bit more and the steering’s not as good as the Evora Reliability….I haven’t got the time to list out all the issues I’ve had. In six months I’ve had the car for 5 weeks and the rest of the time it’s been in the dealers getting...

My experience is: Looks - 10/10 Performance - 7/10 Reliability - 3/10 Lotus customer care - 0/10 Dealer performance (sample of 1) - 3/10

I’ve found a small child works well……

Pic?

I’ve noticed it does that, I presume it’s something to do with your IP address. I’m in Switzerland for work. I was in Prague last week and it changed it to Czech!

Obviously this is good news, I’m just wondering why we had contradictory info’ from Burger….

Well this is new news! So how long do you need the OBD cable connected, before you can go with map2? I wasn’t going to connect and OBD and probably wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known that.

Did you do anything with the dashboard centre speaker? If so, how did you get to it?

Hi Roger, sounds like you have some of the issues I had. What dealer have you given the car to? My car went in after 6 days and stayed there for 4 months! Can you send me Matt Windle’s email address as he doesn’t respond to any of the letters I’ve sent to him. Having had mine back for a couple...

The dealer did this reset on mine and it made no difference.

Carbon bonnet now available, but aftermarket, not Lotus

I am, but only because they’ve caused a new issue, so they have to fix it. Once it’s complete, I won’t be using them again. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone local other than Hatfield, but they didn’t fill me with any confidence when they wouldn’t work on my Evora as “they weren’t trained for...

This was one of the issues raised with my car and the fact that every now and then the mirror wouldn’t fold out (it’s also a little loose). None of these three issues were fixed, despite the dealer advising it was done and they’re back on the list for when my car goes back in.

Great, looking forward to it! Hopefully my car stays together long enough to make it!

Someone in a previous post stated that it was 2.0 only.

I for one am happy that it doesn’t have keyless entry.

Isn’t this only an option on the 2.0i and not the V6?

If Lotus were smart they’d be watching this forum and sorting out their dealers, customer service and reliability!

Plenty of time for the car to break down….

Either dates for me and I don’t care on the venue!

I had something similar with a GS rider on the M25 on Monday, a big thumbs up!

Yep, 22nd works for me! And anywhere as a venue

Yeh, sorry, I can’t do the 21st. Happy with any venue if it’s on one of the days I can do.

The V6 doesn’t pipe any false noise into the cabin
