    Actually sounds acceptable

    FE I4 $99,900 😞

    Its a tough decision between the I4 newer tech and dual clutch and the engagement of the V6 along with the nice engine display thru the rear glass and open shifter mechanism. I think the sound of the I4 is the ONLY negative between the two...... I hear a vacuum cleaner when t revs.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Sorry but the volume of issues with the EMIRA is unacceptable so far. I accept that there will be teething pains but the issues are way to big and frequent so far on this forum. If you want to compare it to the C8 Corvette teething pains, its like apples to oranges, GM is QUICKLY responding...

    This is unacceptable. The previous car at Autosport also broke down several months ago, and no one got a test ride How is this even possible ?

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Two things I forgot to mention and that is that the exhaust note was awesome even at idle with the car parked. Sounds great in person. Very deep and throaty, well done lotus. Inside the exhaust sounds were also excellent. And I am happy (finally that LOTUS is giving loaner test drive cars to...

    Goodwood Festival of Speed Debut of the Emira with new 2.0l

    I just hope it sounds good. The exhaust sound is critical. Interesting new wheel design on the rear mismatched wheels

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    100% exactly my thoughts, I have plenty of cars ( and 4 Harleys and 2 Ducati motorcycles) to keep me happy, and would rather wait for the quality to get ironed out. And I prefer to buy a low miles used car that has already been sorted out by the previous owner. This is a car that someone else...

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Just test drove the yellow demo car at Autosport in Long Island NY today. I own a C8 Corvette a C7Z06 and a Dodge Viper. Absolutely loved the car. So much better than what I imagined or expected. So nimble and light with good enough power. So Viseral. The car looks so much better than any...

    great spec, my favorite, except I would have rather ordered it so that the passenger is not steering the car....

    Question.....LOTUS allowed you to take delivery/collection wearing a pair of NEW BALANCE shoes/sneakers ?? Is that allowed in the UK ? no one at the factory tried to jump you and pull them off of your feet ? Here in USA we would get tasered and arrested even attempting to drive a corvette...

    Scorpion Tracker

    I put in airTags into all of my cars,.....BUT the one flaw is that if the stolen car is towed or driven and the thief who is moving/traveling with the stolen car with the airTag inside has one of the latest versions of an iPhone with them, their own iPhone will notify the thief of the fact...

    Anyone got an Emira with zero issues?!

    Question................ Has ANYONE, EVER in their LIFETIME, ever had any car from ANY brand with ZERO issues ??????? This is why the OP will never get the reply they are hoping for !! No such thing exists...... Impossible

    Fake News !! my brother who is friends with the Neigbor who lives next to the lady who walkes the dog for the people who are friends with the people who know workers who are related to the factory assembly workers who play cards on the weekends with the other workers who are in the Lotus Emira...

    First Emira Breakdown?

    Doesn't LOTUS provide roads assist and ( I ASSUME? ) free towing to the nearest dealer, even if that dealer is 300 miles away ? Am I mistaken ? I don't know what LOTUS policy is., possibly someone can check with their dealership to verify ? Am I mistaken ? because my roadside assist that I...

    OMG, I am putting on my Flame suit and putting away any pots so that they can not be stirred.....OMG !! This thread is EXACTLY like what was posted on the C8 Corvette forum when the first few thousand C8's were released.... Front hoods that would pop open while driving down the highway (...

    The paint on loudspeaker flaked off....

    On second thought......according to the early reviews from new owners, this KEF system has not really received any rave reviews.......so you might be better off by just removing the remains of the KEF emblem with some nail polish remover anyway.

    The paint on loudspeaker flaked off....

    Don't worry, will be covered under warranty especially since there is photo proof that its NOT a wear issue. Should keep the plastic as further proof. Lotus will replace that grill under warranty......two years from now when they finally get a spare from the supplier......

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Your not the only one that is back and forth on this EMIRA. I believe the majority are and even two of the biggest early cheerleaders like TomE and Evotion (which bike Youtube) have lost a great amount of enthusiasm. Evotion even ended up getting a preowned Ferrari to hold him over. Patience...

    in the 1990's NYCity was still very cool. That was because Rudy was mayor and cleaned up everything. Then we had Mayor DeBlazio the communist for two terms ( almost a decade) who made this place a crap hole again.

    Or re-labeld as the " bunch of quitters" thread. After their next door neighbor or old college roommate pulls up in an EMIRA to show them their new LOTUS......we can upgrade those who cancelled into a "LOSERS" thread !!

    I hate living in NYCity. It sucks. Cost of living, high taxes, liberal mentality, etc.... But the one positive is that there are MULTIPLE dealers for every brand here. 3 LOTUS dealers less than 1 hour from my house. 3 Ferrari dealers 30-45mins away, 3 Aston dealers within 20mins , 4 Porsche...
