Another sunny day in Edinburgh, some more green a poppin! With this level of contrast the complex form of the Emira is shown off to great effect.

Yep, that was my experience, definitely GT enough with some minor compromises on cabin noise and lively steering, small price to pay given what the engine and steering contribute to the experience when pressing on...

I noticed exactly the same, more so as I drive the car progressively harder. As you say, with some concentration you can lessen it and it could be viewed as part of the driving engagement and challenge but in reality it may become a minor annoyance...

Agree with all of that as a fellow DV owner! In particular, your comments on the steering echo my own recent comments, with the feedback also demanding constant attention and small adjustments. This is a large part of the "involvement" everyone speaks of but I agree, it could be hard work on a...

Totally with you on that change as that is my spec!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Any day the sun is not out my DV Emira looks black - and the tan interior looks fantastic with black!

Proper red letter day!!!!

Exciting times, bet you are counting the days, if not the hours and minutes! Mine continues to exceed expectations.

Yep, the speed you can carry in the Emira is quite remarkable, it is also one of these cars that shrinks around you, never feels remotely large or unwieldy, despite it's slightly un-Lotus like weight. And of course the ability to keep the rubber on the road helps. Gavan Kershaw being the...

Most definitely!!! I am heading off on Thursday morning for 10 days, otherwise I'd be up for next weekend, will DM you about weekend of 6th/7th May.

Thanks - looking forward to reading about that.

Looking forward to hearing more from a fellow DV on Touring chassis owner! I share your views on the driving experience - there's nothing quite like it (that I've driven...)

Thanks - I'll be giving that a try...

Great write up, I'll look out for some of the issues you mention and report back. with the wipers I have sometimes succeeded in keeping them out of auto but not always. I think you'd mentioned putting some Rainex on the screen, which was already on my mind as a practical measure to mitigate any...

Like you, I've noticed how dirty the door jambs get, I may adopt a similar fix - nice one!

Hear, hear!!!

Hi all, that's 680 miles covered now, I've been revving her to 4500rpm, a touch more occasionally, and using wider throttle openings - bloody hell! Today I went for a 2-way run on a favourite, twisty "A" road, 25-miles each way. This road features some longer, more gentle bends, some tighter...

Nice spot. It's details like this that make the Emira design flow and be so easy on the eye. A myriad of subtle touches that, in aggregate, create beauty.

I've been leaning progressively harder on mine, just keeps gripping and will still tighten its line with more lock or a slight lift-off, so much more left to come....

Yes, that's the same brief Scott gave our group, with the addition of 500rpm per 100 miles after you've done 500, so 4500rpm after 500 miles, 5000rpm after 600 miles, etc. Sounds like a well reasoned approach.

Beautiful! Congrats and have fun!

🤣🤣🤣

I posted some info here in case it's of any help: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/wiper-speed-issue.2508/post-88383

So pleased for you that home delivery was a great experience! All your feedback so far is really interesting, especially the info about the auto (and, of course, you'll have launch control to play with!) All your comments about fit & finish, seats, steering, etc are consistent with my own...

I feel the same about the engine, not sure where all the negativity about it came from, heresay rather than experience?

You know that is a perfect set-up for a bunch of "knob polishing" gags?

Not feeling any sharp edges on my alcantara steering wheel.

Ahhhh, the old TVR "green one direction - purple the other" paint - mind you, those cars were wild enough to carry off that look...

Congrats on your gorgeous Emira! Your experience of the day sounds very similar to mine, a great way to meet your new car for the first time. Specs look almost identical, you'll find DV changes day to day depending on the light conditions, which I think you'll enjoy. Would love to hear your...

Yep. It's DV! Great review though.
