Finally got the car out this weekend as the first dryish day with no salt on the road for the last few months. Started no problem and all working as expected! Up to around 550 miles now, done a couple of harder accelerations once warmed up as per the manual, occasional higher RPM and wider...

If I was doing it I'd definitely take the GR Yaris over the Emira, a small sports car like an MX5 would be ideal as a rental for the trip I reckon! Unfortunately can't help with rental recommendations, but I will say if heading up from Edinburgh I'd definitely try and go over Glenshee and up...

Just gone out to the car again as finally a dry day with no salt on the road tomorrow so going to take it out for a run, and again started perfectly first time with no hesitation! So that was it sat for 9 weeks, unlocked once then locked again, and then started once on 7th Jan to test the last...

I think the actual rain sensing wiper symbol is the button. The other stalk where the fog light symbol is I'm pretty sure you press that to get the fog light on and it looks similar and in a similar place.

A potential good way to ensure it's going the the right place and not a scam could be to send a random small amount e.g. £5.47, then directly contact Customer Care through the links on the website, not replying to any other emails, and get them to confirm back to you the amount received. That...

My Emira is the same, when starting from cold it goes in fine, but once the car is warmed it takes a couple of tries to get it to slot in properly. Only noticed it for reverse, rest of the gears seem good!

Back in November when I'd not long had the car I was at the shops and noticed a couple of kids looking at the car as I got back to it. By the time I was leaving the carpark they'd taken out their phones and were videoing it, so I popped it into track mode and accelerated away a little harder...

Public transport where I live is shocking and I'd welcome more investment into it. The bus takes about 2 hours to get into the nearest city and only around 40 mins by car. That and only a handful of the buses with the number for my town actually come here so you need to plan very carefully if...

Went to check on it, unlocked without issue, all systems started properly and not even a hesitation when starting the engine! Also took the opportunity to confirm that you can start the car in Sport or Track by holding the start button with no pedals pressed for 5 seconds. Left the charger off...

My Emira hasn't moved for 5 weeks and no charger attached to it. I'll give it a check today to see if it starts and get the trickle on it for a day or two to give it a top up.

You're right, I rewatched it just now (in fullscreen and HD this time... 🤦‍♂️) and what I thought was a tube in roughly the right spot is in fact the dipstick, the black mark is what I thought was the hole in the tube! Should've worn my glasses before commenting😂

Very tempting, I don't live that far from where they're based...

Finished it now, great video and I agree with basically everything he has said!

Just watching now, good video so far! Only thing I noticed which I could easy be wrong with, but when he shows the dipstick and says "you can't easily see it but you'll just have to believe me that it's tucked down in there", I'm pretty sure it is missing! Looks like there is a tube with nothing...

Before doing up the straps underneath it just touches the ground on the sides. You might be ok with the medium one if only 5cm difference. Is the height the same too? The Emira is wider than the width of the large size but shorter so that makes up for it a bit, if the medium is narrower and...

I have a generic outdoor cover from Halfords, it fits well enough but not perfect. I went for the "large" size because the Emira needs the width but it is too long so sticks out over front and back and sits slightly on the ground. It is meant to be breathable but there is always condensation on...

That's good to hear! I didn't try holding down the starter button, will have to give it a go next time!

I don't think you can unfortunately, I've tried. I might be missing something when doing it, but trying the same way as my Supra which is pressing start with no pedals to get onto the accessory mode then change the drive mode it does nothing in the Emira. Tour cold start though sounds pretty...

The First Edition V6 does not have keyless entry. You need to press the button on the fob to unlock, but you don't need to put a key in to start the car, once the door is open with key in your pocket just clutch in and press the button and engine starts. They call it "keyless go" which probably...

Here's the one I bought back in 2016. It was £13 at the time, now on sale for £9, I've been ripped off! 😂 Neilsen CT2287 Car Trim Removal and Moulding Set, Red https://amzn.eu/d/66e9gE5

The trim tools I used were the same ones you could use for radio replacement, just various size and shape plastic things. Just took a flat one under the rubber to unhook it. And yeah the massaging was basically just using a bit of pressure to push it into all the corners like you would with a...

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'd definitely be keen for a meet/drive in Scotland sometime in Spring once the salt is off the roads!

This is the first time I've seen it mentioned but YES! My heel clipped the mat all the time one journey to the point the entire floor mat lifted up and rolled back as I took my foot off the pedal. It made the clutch really annoying to press. But once I stopped I basically folded the mat the...

Yellow brakes do match the centre caps, not seen it on DV to comment on the overall look though.

They absolutely should have offered it in deposit order, especially with the further delays there would have been time to get the majority of people a good go for sure!

I've posted about this before (I think) but people expecting longer unaccompanied Emira test drives at the minute and getting angry that they aren't available are a bit mad. The car is brand new with only a handful of cars available and hundreds or maybe even thousands of people wanting a go...

I love the drivetrain in the Emira. One of the main attractions for me was the notchy mechanical shift and the older engine. New engines are a bit too refined in general for me and constrained by so much emissions stuff, having an older one is a bonus! The shift in my car between gears is great...

Nah, not a design problem, a design quirk!

I get 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene!

Shame I put the cover on mine, could have tested how the boot lid and drainage holes deal with snow! There is an Emira under there, honest 😂

So after receiving my car last month I thought I'd try and do a bit of digging and try and get hold of one of those boxes. I emailed LCC last week and was told very certainly "this is not something we offer" and asked where I had seen it. I linked this thread and explained some customers had...

Just the one, and it was great! Not expecting many more before around March though...

Golf clubs fit fine, just need to put the driver in separately (y)

I'd say the Emira is a car you can enjoy all the performance on the road as the limits feel very high as it is super capable, but since the power is manageable you feel like you're really able to use it, unlike other cars where you need to do stupid speeds before you feel like you're properly...

For me the 86 does give the classic sports car experience, it does everything as well as it needs to to give the experience and nothing more, and does it brilliantly. The Emira takes everything to another level. I don't think the GT86 has a transaxle. I love the GR Yaris as well, but in terms...

Och haud yer wheesht! The 86's a richt gid caer! Been out in the wet and cold on the Cup 2s and Goodyears! No moments to speak of, but you could definitely feel the Cup 2s had very little grip and they went over puddles rather than through them, drivable as long as you were very careful but I...

Great! Definitely a good spec, I was a little unsure of how it would all work in real life especially after they changed the shade of yellow in the callipers, but it really works well! I was extremely lucky and was offered a cancellation slot back in Feb which I jumped at! They wouldn't tell me...

If you like the 86/BRZ you should love the Emira! Basically it takes all the good things about the 86/BRZ and makes them even better. I love having to actually drive the 86 to get the best out of it, use the full rev range and keep the momentum through the corners. The Emira is similar in the...

I'll give it a try tomorrow!
