yeah was pretty quick I started it in N. The car could go into gear when the car was off and in N, so could shift into all gears with the clutch being 'stuck' in down position, but once the car was on, could not go into gear. Went to dealer, they said would hopefully get to it later today or...

Not the best pic of the Lotus, LOL My first towing experience in a new car

oh wow, was not aware

yeah was scary, as I am breaking the car in and never have gone above 4,000 rpm, so was not happy that it red lined. the engine smelled 'burnt' after. will update this thread when I find out what it is.

Thank you for the explanation. I am getting it towed to Lotus today and will let you know what they say. Hopefully it is an easy fix.

The Video explains it all, but some background. Didn't drive car for 2 weeks, had it on battery charge (was 100% and light green), doors locked. Come back and cold started, and clutch stayed stuck on the floorboard, and had to pull it back with my foot. On cold start, the car went red line...

wow beautiful presentation. I think you are the first that had a 'reveal' with a car cover. hopefully they allowed you to keep the cover...lol

good rate what is your monthly payment for the 60k down and 4.99%?

Nice summary. I already did mine, but consider having PPF for the vents in the rear end (i.e. where you can look directly through them and see the tires). I did this and helps a lot.

CUTX (credit union of texas); but rates might have changed. also was a customer there so maybe it helped?

Lotus--but I am biased. Lotus is different, and stands out as more rare. Most Porsche are awesome, but almost all of the look the same, so you have that. Ultimately your choice, but the lines of the Lotus seem more "supercar-ish" IMHO and looks like a mix of a Ferrari and a Aston (from what I...

Great meeting you guys today :) Atlantis Blue Emira Couldn't meet the Seneca Emira who was parked a couple rows over, maybe next time. Here is my Park up Front Club link if interested. It is free. This is how you find out about events. Most are free, but this one was $15 and was worth seeing...

Sorry for the delay Here is the private Lotus club invite (goal is national/international connection but only 2 followers so far) on Park up Front app if you or anyone wants to join. It is free. Also there is a Dallas Lotus club and if you go to my Lotus club, you can request to be part of the...

Anyone want to go to Cars and Coffee in Irving this Saturday at 8am from Dallas? I am going and I think it is $15, and I book through an app. Hope to see some of you there. If interested, I started a Lotus Emira car club on the park up front app and if interested, I can invite you all or send...

My first Costco trip in the Emira. As the trunk has a small space, I walked out of Costco spending less than $500 for once in my life. Man, this car saves me so much money :) If I drove more than 5 miles, the shrimp likely would have been cooked (form the heat of the engine) and I could...

Interested in 2 of them. Let me know where I can order (link) please? Thanks for setting up. Alcantara& Yellow Stitching Black Leather & Yellow Stitching

Great summary. I have 200 miles on mine and echo your sentiments. I have sports suspension so a tight ride and can feel most bumps on the road, but I like that and that is why I picked this spec. Furthermore for this issue "The two rear vent holes behind the rear tires are constantly dirty. I...

Got the PM, so will communicate via that channel. All that are interested, see their communication, and I guess we can get a separate group rate without blowing up this thread by using Whats app and/or PM with them.

so sick, but I am biased as I have the same specs as you it seems :) congrats

What a lineup yesterday at Cars and Tacos! The Emira was allowed to be next to a McLaren, GT3RS, Porsche and Ferrari. Just to the left of these on their own was a rare Lambo and a Senna. The best thing about this, is that the 100k Lotus Emira is allowed to be in a section where 300-1.5 million...

@Aerie , I am also interested in the group rate. Let us know what discount we can get?

congrats, looks beautiful

Very thorough explanation. I knew the GT3RS would win over, but I didn't realize it is 5x the cost. My friend has 1 and he said he got it for 300k but that was years ago, and has 6 other Porsche's and pre covid, so of course all prices went up. I am glad the Emira is your 2nd most fun car to...

So many people came over to see the car and ask questions. Many knew about the CARB issue, ALL but 1 person has seen an Emira IRL, 1 person thought it was a Ferrari, 1 thought it was a McLaren, until they saw the badges. Many were impressed and took video and pictures. There was a great lineup...

A little late to the party, but she arrived home safely. Now off to my first supercar event (20 people could register, and only Lambos, Ferraris, Maserati's and Porsche), on and then me. You think they even know this car is on the roads now?

Legendary ...oh and the car looks good also :)

Beautiful. That is what I want to do to mine. How much did they charge even though in Australia, just so I have a ballpark figure?

Over 840 credit Steady career (W2 worker)/good income Dealer > 7% on all loans Credit union: 4.4% for 24m, 4.95% for 36m, 5.45% for 48m again, this is based on my situation and varies based on individual situations

Agree. I took a loan on myself for 4% and paying it back, so cheaper than the car loan rates.
