    What did you do to your Emira today?

    For the rear badges they removed them and stuck them back on after doing the PPF using a template. For the nose badge they left it in place and just went into the dip surrounding the badge. Unless the light catches it and you are specifically looking for it you wouldn't know it was done that...

    Does the small access panel feel like it locks in place better than the original set up?

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Not my car, the photo was sent to me by a friend. My Hethel Yellow would have burnt a few eyes if it was in that dull line up.

    Picked up this new ('24) Zinc Grey I-4 today....a few basic questions

    You won't be able to use an iPod Touch by plugging it into a USB port. You might be able to pair it via Bluetooth but then you will have to control the play of music by the iPod. You can only use the two USB ports inside the centre console armrest to connect a suitable USB device. The USB port...

    Lotus driving in Hethel

    I've done the half day one (A Taste Of Lotus) last year where you do a couple of track sessions in their Emiras. This was well worth the experience and will do it again sometime this year. I'd done the factory tours and Classic Team Lotus already so didn't need to do the Introduction To Sports...

    Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

    Agree with both of the above. I had paint bubbles on my tailgate from new in June but waited until the following January this year before having it replaced as I didn't want the car out of action when I most wanted to drive it. My question on the warranty is mainly how the issue is dealt with...

    Anyone else not like driving passengers in it?

    It's not worth going too fast round corners or even fast acceleration with my wife on board - there's too much screaming. My mate's daughter on the other hand just laughed all the way!

    ✅ Solved Lotus breakdown cover

    The Quick Start Guide supplied with the Emira has information about it on page 3, specifically UK+EU wide cover. It's also in the full PDF manual on page 20. <Link> The roadside assistance PDF I posted above goes into detail about prices for Hotel rooms etc.

    Silencing seat belt warnings

    Does disabling the passenger airbag stop the passenger seatbelt warning? It's not mentioned in the manual so a practical experiment is needed for you shoppers. Probably easier to just do up the belt though.

    ✅ Solved Lotus breakdown cover

    I downloaded this PDF from the Lotus Roadside Assistance web page when I got my car last year but I can't find it on their site anymore so it's probably been removed. The webpage says what's in the the PDF now.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Tire Pressure If you're not driving for a while

    I've just left my car for 5 weeks. I made sure they were the correct pressures before I went away. The tyres still feel and look all good on my return.

    Suspension: Touring and Sports options

    My V6 manual touring also has 60/110. The car was built November 2023 indicating the change has been around for a while.

    SD card for audio?

    That is good news. One thing though, does it remember which USB port you have your music drive plugged into?

    That's what we are here for - university graduation in Christchurch as well as touring the spectacular countryside.

    Are there any Emiras in New Zealand?

    I've been here a week and all I've seen are racing UVs and camper vans! 😀 Some lovely roads over here just made for an Emira.

    Hitting the steering rack limit

    When was your car built, is it an earlyish one? When I test drove two Emiras back in January 2024 they both had the steering clunk at the limits. However my November 2023 build car doesn't have this at all. I assumed Lotus had changed something.

    For those of you who like stripes and stickers

    Maybe they were fed up with people asking if they were Lambos and put on the big Lotus text and badges to make it clear 😆

    Ah, that makes sense now.
