    See I find all of these different comparisons amazing. I had a test drive at Nottingham and it felt no harsher than my Yaris to me (which isn't silly harsh) and more compliant than my M2. Can't really compare to Porsche as they are always harsh in Sports mode with PASM and active the rest of...

    Are you really really young? Maybe it's omitting the same frequency as those anti social speakers that can only be heard by under 18s 🔊 they put them outside McDonald's to stop the youth hanging around outside 😅

    What's the appeal? (Emira and Porsche)

    I was here because I thought I'd be treated better as a 'New Lotus' customer than as a Porsche one. I was also hoping to experience a true last hoorah ICE Lotus. Finally getting to experience all of that Lotus magic, with none of the old school Lotus drama I was also hoping that the...

    That is quite bronze! Still lovely though. I still think Nimbus will be the most dynamic colour of them all and hence most interesting to live with. Look fwd to hearing your thoughts about it all 🙂

    Not wanting to spam the OPs thread, but I was amazed how compliant Sports was in comparison to other sports car.

    Komotec carbon fiber wing

    To be fair it will never truly be functional unless you mount it through the boot and directly onto the chassis. Should make the boot easier to shut though lol

    Ironically there are some shocking 'Legacy' male senior managers in the car industry who think its still the year 2000. And that is in an industry already renowned for being old school in its treatment of customers as something to be tolerated until they have handed over their hard earned cash...

    I'm not even sure they are interested in 'enthusiasts' anymore.. Very much a luxury brand now and wanting to attract that audience. Just look at their advertising 😳 Did you ever let slip why they dropped "For the Drivers" from their advertising? I'm assuming for the above reasons and not...

    😳 I wish I had 32k to spend on that engine alone! Definitely happy to spend 9 on the box though. What engine do they use as a base?

    The watches thread

    I'm assuming that was Rolex? You just have to make a little effort. Contact them and book an appointment. Get on the waiting list. Visit the store a bit, build a rapport. Make sure they know its for a special occasion/present for someone you really love! And eventually you will get your watch...

    Call from Lotus to receive an Emira FE 1 year earlier !

    I was told by Lotus that it's 100% tinted glass (not a film)

    I am so jealous. Big congratulations though 🥰 I've tried for the past 6 years to get an allocation, but only having had 3 Porsches and all from different dealers it was never going to happen. Which is why I ended up here thinking I would be looked upon a little more fondly. Unfortunately it...

    I cant speak for Boston, but the UK has a lot of different road types depending where you live and the changeable weather just adds to the mix. I think that's probably why we prefer to test drive a sports car in 'our own backyard' to ensure its going to perform. The only car I purchased unseen...

    You are a good SmallerBaller 🥰 I would have felt exactly the same, it just blows my tiny little mind that Lotus didn't. I would have had to have a 5 hour + round trip if I'd wanted to try my chosen Tour Suspension. All 3 of my nearest dealers had been given blue cars with Sports suspension...

    Now im looking at older Lotus I'd actually love a new section for other models 🥰😁 Save me going to the 'other' forum that seems a little steady.. 👀

    I dont even think any of us expected or wanted a 24 hour test drive (as nice as that would be!) My Alpine A110 test drive I had 2 hours before the Lotus one was my ideal. Rock up to the dealer, grab a coffee, talk shop, get introduced to the car and then get told to take it out, have fun and...

    That is an amazing Xmas present 🎁 😍 I dont think I've been able to purchase any of my new cars in the last 10 years easily. I always allow at least an extra hour now for the fraud squad to kick in and reject my payment. And that's with calling them multiple times in advance to authorise it...

    I partly concur. BUT if they had offered test drives in deposit order rather than the free for all that it was there would have been plenty of time for everyone to get a good drive and I'd go so far as to say the conversion rate would have been better because of it. Still doesn't solve the set...

    Unbelievable that all these things are possible. If escalated... Its not a good look and must be chaos for Lotus internally

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    Thank you for sharing. Is there a part 3 with Evora comparisons @TomE ?? 🙂 I definitely share most of your thoughts on the Emira but nice to have them reaffirmed by someone with some Lotus history. Although I thought the steering was other worldly, as an overall package it didn't excite me like...

    If Lotus would have honoured my deposit date for an i4 Base I'd defo still be in 😊 Going to be a great car with a few mods, that make sense at the lower price

    That is lovely 🥰 Compare it to an equivalent 911 and they look pretty cheap! Seems a nice one can still be had for circa 50k to 60k gbp Proper performance classic. Enjoy 🙌

    I am considering an Elan Sprint. I think they may be a bit of an undiscovered bargain at present 😍
