Solihull

It could have been a lot worse. HQ have been great with it,the dealer not so much,but glad it happened as I've moved servicing elsewhere now.

Photographer obviously has an eye for beauty and took a pic of us at caffeine and machine

Same here, I've also had someone look at it from the rear and call it an Aston...

Yes all good now. Transmission hose was not fitted properly and leaked.

She certainly held her own next to some supercars at caffeine and machine today.... Visually at least

Courtesy car update: I had a call last evening ,finally,in regards to a courtesy car for my car that broke on the 29th January, the same car that I picked up last Saturday after being fixed.... so 10 days late for the courtesy car. It gets better,the courtesy car that was offered,in place of a...

First thing I did 😀

Whoever sat in it at the dealer was the change... They just left it in a much better position,setting than I could manage. Again,it's not the seats that the issue,it's just I had a hard time finding the right position for me,which I've never struggled with in previous cars,I even had the elise!

It's a great colour, nothing to worry about

Such an unexpected thing,I've never had problems in any of my cars with seats,even the test drive in the emira wad fine and felt great. There must be a perfect position, but odd it's taking me long to find it 🤣

Mid life crisis-i bought a yellow car

Update after 18 days of ownership: Trips out:4 Mileage covered:250 Breakdowns:1 Days in for repair:6 Summary: I love it,but I abit dubious of the dealer relationship now. Car: Once issued were fixed,it seems to be running fine again,still itching to get above that 4500rpm but it's a keeper...

Mine wins

Do we know if there are any replacement parts coming for the external rear window side pillars ? The plastic feel piano black is looking like an easily scratch able part and it's already annoying me. Carbon fibre would look decent there and replacing the interior centre trim

False advertisement then....

I actually think I'm going to stick with the original yellow caps for now. Having seen the black ones on black ,I prefer the contrast at the moment. I may have the car wrapped down the line,which may push me to the black caps also.

Yes,transmission hose came loose

It's more reliable..

Not yet,deciding if I will.

She's back with a new black nose..... First to do it?? maybe. Better pictures later

I was literally there the other week to pick my car up,didn't mention anything to me

i love the brand, despite how much i've moaned i wont ask to return it, they are making efforts Maybe its a learning curve, i can accept that, just missing my new car so clearly i'm biased

My patience has boiled over to not caring much anymore...I've lost the enthusiasm for the car at this point,I'm sure it will change again once i get it back,but it's not the same feeling I had before....tarnished somewhat.. Already looking at Spyders that I should have perhaps bought...

Unfortunately so,I did have a call on Monday asking me if I preferred an auto or manual,then heard nothing since...

I still find this part shocking. I'll be writing an email to the Seniors today about the journey and what hasn't happened when it clearly states that it should.

I concur,it was great for the first 140 miles 🤣 I'm just really put off by the service now something has gone wrong, Misscommunications, No courtesy car Car not dropped off to dealer (AA fault) Car bot picked up after AA did not turn up for two days (AA again) Told Car was fixed by HQ,dealer...

In all fairness, I think it's bad luck on my part,I can accept that. The more concerning element is the service and lack of clear and consice information in between dealer and HQ. Several times I've been told I'd get a call back with an update,never happened. I have to chase constantly,maybe...

I'm under the impression that Silverstone are billing HQ for it as I've heard them say several times "we're waiting to confirm if they are paying for it" Which makes perfect sense...

Completely agree,this is really making me wonder if I want to keep a relationship with Lotus or not... HQ seem concerned, Silverstone understandably have their priorities, but the difference in relationship and priorities between them both is not ideal for the customer. Surely it's in their...

I've got some senior people in contact with me,which is impressive on their part tbf, I sent them a message last night as it was late informing them of the above and that it's not acceptable

So the Saga continues.... Lotus HQ,have to be fair,been chasing this today for me,however contradicting messages are coming back from Silverstone. I've had assurances from HQ that this case is escalated and getting priority,they even sent a specialist to Silverstone to look at the car today...

My passenger has claimed that the seat belt won't pull out much for her either, looks like another issue to be looked at for mine..... the car I mean,not the wife

I'll be doing the NC500 in march too in mine,if it doesn't breakdown again that is.

I wouldn't be surprised if its one of these that got loose

A question I keep meaning to ask,does any owner have the passenger footwell storage net? Mine doesn't have one, but a show car did and the specifications for FE says there should be one too.
