What are the standard wheel alignment settings for the Emira? And are there different standard settings for Sport and Tour chassis setups?

These sites are useful for working out different tyre (tire) and wheel fitments: https://tiresize.com/comparison/ https://www.willtheyfit.com/

Fingers crossed you get many miles of trouble free driving now and don't need to worry about dealing with dealers again for a while 🤞

OMG!!!... As an RX-8 owner, I feel that I soooo need one of these now!! :love:

Lovely pics and great write-up 👍

These look great with the black wheels... @Lots_Of_Trouble have you decided on whether you are swapping your wheel caps out for the black ones?

Little things, I love that you can change the TPMS to PSI, as I prefer working in PSI.

OMG, I had a 'spare' screw for a new Q7 a few years back, it was embedded in the front right tyre (had dealer fitted mudflaps), resulted in a slow puncture, TPMS warning on the first motorway trip and a new tyre fitted by them a couple of days later... Fingers crossed for you this really is 'spare'!

The next sunny day in Wales is scheduled for May... Just the one, mind! 🌧️

Me neither - They just seem too... straight/angular(?) for the Emira body shape, something just not right about them on the Emira to my eye. They look like some sort of aftermarket wheel you might see on a hot hatch to me.

I do think the sports car market still has to make some 'adjustments' related to the move to BEVs, particularly in terms of buyers' expectations (available range when driven 'enthusiastically' being a prime example - possible advancements in battery tech/weight/pricing may help in that space)...

I am not so sure... 🤔 Slide 14 states that there will be "3 all-electris sports cars" by 2027 (and there is no mention of any other sports car platform anywhere in the presentation pack, so this must therefore refer to Evija, Emira & Type 135). Note 2 on that slide, I am taking to refer to the...

That's not great!... although I imagine it would have 'blown' off pretty quick when driving (just hopefully it wouldn't have got caught on anything important and caused an issue)... Think of it as a memento perhaps? Reminds me when the Mk3 Focus RS came out a few years back - There were several...

This is an excellent read, thanks for posting the link. Really interesting to get an overview of the future direction for Lotus and the Emira. Some really interesting data / projections in there for sure. And perhaps not unexpectedly, the main focus is clearly on the 'luxury' SUV & Sedan...

That's actually pretty cool, I like it, and great that he could modify for your coulour combo too... I usually get diecast models of my 'nice' cars, but I might have to think about getting one of those prints myself now for the study wall!

What I am about to say is totally off-topic, and I apologise for that... But, this reminded me, my daughter is currently doing an Internship at Mini in Oxford, a couple of months ago her and all the other interns were 'drafted' onto the production line for a few days each due to staff...

Did a driving & camping trip around Scotland quite a few years ago, absolutely stunning scenery all around and some lovely roads (mostly not too busy too). Spent a couple of days over on Skye, and the coastal sunset views were spectacular. We were driving something nowhere near as fun as the...

Lovely! Same exterior colour combo as I am going for... And totally agree about getting some black badges 👍 Shame you won't be driving it much for a few weeks, but totally understandable and looking forward to some updates when you do. Enjoy!

That's got to be frustrating. If not a software / controller bug then sounds suspiciously like a failed or broken heater routing motor / flap mechanism to me (can you hear any motor and/or clicking sounds behind or under the dash when trying to change settings?). Whatever is at fault...

Not a fan of plasti dip tbh, yes it is easy to apply, and relatively easy to remove, but it isn't durable enough for exterior automotive application in my experience (or any interior that gets frequently touched). Edges can peel when cleaning unless you are very gentle (for example, rear...

Driving: Tour Chassis - This is just sublime. For those contemplating Tour chassis, I really can highly recommend at least trying it if you can - I can understand why some people want to go for the Sport chassis, in theory, but for me, for our expected driving profile (near-daily driver...

So, I had my test drive today at Bell & Colvill. Loads of people have test driven this car already, but here is my perspective. TLDR; The Emira is superb to drive. The Tour chassis dealt with the very mixed road surfaces EXCEPTIONALLY well - In my view, the damping they have put in the Tour...

Dammit! 🤐

Great early update (y) Keep the updates coming. On the seats, do try out a few different positions... especially the lumber support - and remember, less lumbar support can often be better than more (counter-intuitive perhaps), so have a play around with that specifically.

Terrible situation for Lotus to put you (or any customer) in... Pretty sure I wouldn't have agreed to let the payments go through myself until Lotus sorted out a secure payment method that the bank fraud dept. were happy with. ☹️

Think you meant Goodyear tyres

Great test drive review 👍 I have a test drive in the same car on Friday. Not seen one in the flesh yet, so most interested in seeing the proportions, sitting inside and taking a good look at the red interior. I am going for an i4, so not too focussed on the engine and gearbox, but will be...

Is great to see pics with some real-life road grime on - Shows the car is being used for what it was made. Now, whilst I LOVE a nice clean car, I do find cleaning cars so tedious and time consuming, and really not enjoyable in cold weather. And I refuse to take any of my cars anywhere where...

I love these - I wonder when Lotus will stop sending them out... and when they do, whether they will be available to purchase separately (I, for one, would be willing to buy one if not given one).

Red interior really does look fantastic, and like you say just about the right mix of red vs black (although I am coming with a bias as I am going for the red interior too!). The seats look fantastic with those little black inserts and the embossing. Nimbus really looks great with the black...

The Emira won't be a direct replacement for any one current car for me. I have had a mixed collection of cars previously, from a Nissan Primera GT (my second ever car, which I bought due to the 90's touring car connection), to a Porsche 911 (996 C2 Cabriolet). Have had a mix of sensible(ish)...

I'm in! Deposit for an i4 placed first week of Jan 2023 (hoping for FE spec still by the time I get a build slot, but if not, will be a well spec'd Base model). CS told me roughly 18 months expected wait time, but I'll take that with a pinch of salt and see how things pan out over the next...

Haha, didn't mean it like that! Actually had an Abarth 124 Spider recently, which is essentially an ND MX-5 with different body panels and engine (and built on the same production line as the MX-5), and I have one of the MX-5's big brothers, so know they are fantastic cars all round!

Looks fantastic. Would be great to see some decent detailed pics of the red interior, when you get the chance 👍

You are correct! Love blues on most cars (have had a few blue cars over the years). The Seneca Blue looks absolutely fantastic, to my eyes at least, on the Emira. Also not a fan of full black/dark interiors if other options are available (had red/black interior in a white Abarth 124 Spider...

Hi all, I have had a wide variety of cars in the past. I love cars and know that I will never ever own all of the cars I want to own in my lifetime. I remember seeing the Emira launch and thinking 'wow, that is one extremely good looking car', but not actively looking for a new car at the...
