Just an opinion, but... If no written manual is included with the sale of the car, and the salesman representing Lotus doesn't share the proper break-in procedure with you during delivery, I would think it would be very, very difficult for Lotus to deny any sort of warranty claim on the basis...

Looks fantastic!

I think that Osmium Silver highlights the design of the car better than any other choice. Also, I think this color will age very well. I would have gone for a louder color if there had been one that didn’t distract from the excellent design. For me, vivid red was a close second, but I...

I don't know yet. I applied via a very generalized application through the dealer website this afternoon, which I'm sure means that they are shopping the loan to a bunch of lenders. No offers received yet. I have pre-approval through a credit union for 5.29% for the full purchase price of the...

Thank y'all for the feedback. I am hoping this is either a miscommunication or misunderstanding on the salesman's part that I can get hammered out quickly. It seems very odd to refuse a check in the exact amount from a nation-wide financial institution...

Sounded a bit odd to me. Honestly I don't care who I finance through as long as the rate I have already secured can be matched. I understand that a business can refuse different forms of payment, as it is their prerogative. I have purchased several cars before, albeit they haven't cost as much...

Good afternoon, My car is here and ready to go. I have secured 3rd party financing through a credit union. My salesman is stating that Lotus is not accepting/allowing 3rd party financing. Has anyone else been told this? Thanks in advance.

It looks great. When I chose to spec my car in osmium, it wasn’t the obvious choice on the configuration. I went back and forth many times before finally selecting it. I was still not sure I made the best decision after submitting my build code. However, now that I have seen my car in person...

I think lotus might have a massive problem on their hands if the actual output does not meet the advertised output. The old timers tell a tale of the 1999 Mustang Cobra. There was a car a few hands short of being a quarter horse. For those unfamiliar, owners figured out the Mustang was not...

That’s a great code of conduct. Then again:

Does anyone know of an Emira-specific windshield sun visor/blocker and outdoor car cover available in the United States If not Emira specific, does anyone know of a universal visor/blocker and outdoor car cover that has good coverage? I would like for these items to be used to protect my car’s...

The Google maps page shows that to be a fantastic road! In 2021, my wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in Sedona. I rented a 2020 Evora GT though Turo. We drove the car around Sedona, including from Sedona to Flagstaff. It was incredible! That’s actually what set me on the path to buy a...

To each their own, but I don’t care for much in the way of badges or lettering.

Great outdoor photos! Thank you for sharing!

I come from background of very heavily modified Mustangs and other domestic cars, so an extra maintenance step isn’t a big deal for me. I understand that the factory can’t expect Joe Average to do anything beyond putting gas in the tank. If it were readily available, I would have a methanol...

It may be akin to a magnetic oil pan plug- not strictly necessary, but even if it works “a little” it still works.

I have read that even performance focused factory supercharged cars often have enough oil blow by that the addition of a separator will collect a significant amount of oil. Obviously the car will still run without one, and is designed to, but it seems this is a very straightforward way of...

Not any specific issue that I’m aware of that is unique to the 2GR-FE, just to supercharged engines in general.

Has anyone installed, or is considering installing, a catch can/air oil separator? Does anyone know if there’s a kit available for the Emira? I know multiple options exist for the Evora. Thanks.

All in all, "raiding the parts bin" is keeping with Lotus tradition. It would be great if it had its own special switches and buttons, but at what price? Also, if these parts are manufactured by the millions for consumer cars that are expected to function for 150k+ miles, they are probably...

I knew it was too good to be true! Sorry to sound a false alarm!

Oh man! Hard to say. I have been waiting for a video or more complete photos of Osmium. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part. Almost exactly my spec, save for the wheels!

Lotus Belfast posted a high resolution video of what appears to be an Osmium Silver Emira.

I’m a couple of hours south of Dallas. No delivery date yet on my FE 2.0. Your Atlantis blue looks great!

TXEMIRA, I am brand new to this forum. I am located in Waco. My wife has recently given me the thumbs up on putting a deposit down. Did you place a deposit with a dealer here in Texas or elsewhere? Thanks!
