I've never driven a Lotus...ever. But I've seen the Evora reviews and know Lotus' reputation as a driver's car, so I'm thrilled about that as well!

Well, I kinda took the reason for that "chill" attitude being that they thought the car was essentially an Evora with a better interior and exterior. Not really ground breaking, but a huge step forward in design and moderninity.

Huh...I'm kind of surprised reading some of these comments on Smoking Tire's review. I felt it was a very encouraging review. They loved the Evora and said the car drove like an Evora with a much better interior and less niggles (throttle blip for instance). Overall I felt they both really liked...

It was briefly mentioned somewhere on here earlier...

Absolutely gorgeous spec and great write up!! Keep us updated as you get even more acquainted with your car! Congrats!!

It's not...I agree. But then there's weirdos like me who love a wide range of vehicles and and not really brand loyal so if it's just a fun weekend car, I may be comparing an apple to a goat! 🤣🤣🤣

I always love it when these posts happen. Is this really a fair comparison? Here's a data point for you. I've had 2 911's. Never had one issue. I guess that means 2-2=0? Of course all manufacturers have issues with their cars. It's the percentages and the repetition we need to look at. So how...

He even went so far as to say the Emira is the better bet!

Lol! We're exactly flip flopped! I have a Chevy dealer about 20 min away. Logistics to make a difference.

It's amazing the number of highs and lows we've all experienced throughout this process. Sometimes even on a daily basis I go from...I should just pull my deposit to....no I've got to wait a bit longer! 🤣

I honestly have a hard time believing this. I would bet money the majority of owners have had at least one problem or two. They may not be serious, but just some minor things. ALL new cars have issues. That's why many avoid the first year or two so things can get sorted out. But where I am...

Here's what I'm wondering....I've heard mentioned a few times here by various forum members that it just appears these Emira's are having more issues than reality because people use the forum to complain about them. It would be interesting to know what percentage of all delivered Emira's are...

Clean paint can look deceivingly good, especially on camera. It takes certain angles to see the swirls, sanding marks and holograms, etc on new paint because the clear coat hasn't been degraded by oxidation. It is glossy which can mask the issues. I literally parked next to an older goldish...

Hey Eagle! Preaching to the choir here, but all good info. 😊 I do my own detailing and literally have a "DO NOT WASH" hang tag for the rear view mirror just in case I ever need to go to the dealer (which is an absolute rarity!). The hang tag is great because even if you tell them not to...

I'd rather they not touch it. That's where the majority of problems come from.

That's great! I'll drive mine AND keep it looking better than 99% of cars on the road. I enjoy driving them and detailing them. I live in the same world as everyone else. Just what I like to do.

I've seen many detailing videos of new Porsche's, Ferrari's, Rolls, Bentley's with horrendous paint! Holograms, sanding marks, hidden damage behind factory ppf, clear coat issues, dust nibs, swirl marks, etc. This happens on all new cars. A new car is NEVER perfect. But, I've also heard so many...

Love Firenze red! Thanks for the visual!

I'm torn. The OCD me says to wrap the entire car. The more practical side says just to wrap the sensitive areas (especially that area behind the rear tires and front bumper/Hood).

This is very true, but usually not a problem with a good factory paint job. Resprays tend to be more problematic. Definitely a bummer to see happen 🙁

Great response @benjh1028 !!

OK THAT is concerning.

I think he'll be visiting the dealership a lot.

Great video below. Can I ask why you want to support the EV transition?

OK...but even Lotus doesn't want to be old Lotus! Why do you think that is?

Um..it seems they expected every dealer to at least change the subject line. Maybe make it more personal? Really?

I'm not sure you saw the "copy and pasta" email to multiple people on here from Lotus sent by dealers. The subject line literally said something like "copy and paste this email...blah blah blah" and the dealers left it in the subject line.

Oh so true! Hadn't even thought about it since you mentioned it!

The area I live in is pretty sunny most of the year, so both colors should be amazing. I may have to flip a coin when my number comes up....soon 😁

@Magicman your Nimbus gives me Magma second thoughts! Perfection!

Lol...thought the same especially when the top is automatic in the GTS. But everyone wants a more "raw" experience right? Lol Also...less to go wrong.

Lol...many will say you're coming in at the best time! Some people have been waiting nearly 3 years already with who knows how much longer to go.

Just to keep it going: 2014 Turbo S, 18 way seats, 52k miles 2018 Hellcat Challenger w/Nappa leather. 18k miles. Husband is 6'3" and 265lbs

Well it probably is easier for you to get in and out at 6'2". At my height, I have to scooch the seat up all the way just to get the clutch pushed in. Then getting out is a bit awkward cause the steering wheel is right there, so seat needs to be scooched back a bit. Then getting short legs up...

At 5'2" I can't even imagine having to get in and out of Porsche buckets all the time. C I considered a GT4 with buckets and between the sliding the manual seat forward and back and the high bolsters, it was super awkward. There's a reason people buy bolster protectors.

Hey I'm on your side....even if I'm not one of your "Emira bros." I think the Z06 is flipping amazing and I'd be in line for one too. If I had $200k to spend or wanted to wait 5 years. Things are changing so fast in the auto industry...who knows what 3 years from now will look like..sad times.

And you'll never get that back, whereas the GT4 will hold its value.
